from the back cover:
NOGGIN was usually Michael and Eric. The BIG BAND was a recording project that Michael put together: 11 people improvising with spontaneous arranging and conducting by Michael. Aaron recorded what happened at Yo-Yo Studios in Olimpia-WA, and, along with Adam and Eric, did the mixing. This part of the project was completed in 1996-7. It is now being formally released in 2008.

The CDs were pressed in 2000 by a label in Texas, but never packaged and sold until now.
