The Tear Garden became a big band with this record and the laughter and the sheer intensity just went on for weeks. As psychedelic as it gets...
Liner notes for track 1: First recording of The last man to Fly sessions and the beginning of an ecstatic month at Mushroom studio in Vancouver.
Liner notes for track 2: Almost live in the studio...
Liner notes for track 3: An impromptu Cats' chorus of 'Stairway to Heaven' was delivered in the studio on the same day as this piece. It rightly remains in the can. Instead you'll have to live with TG's tribute to 'Kashmir'.
Liner notes for track 8: Beautiful piano piece from Dwayne. it only needed a voice...
Liner notes for track 9: There came a point when we all felt the album needed an acoustic element so EK and Rave retired to the studio lounge with acoustic guitar and notebook respectively. An hour later this piece was finished and ready for release.
Liner notes for track 10: The idea was to swap instruments for this one...Cevin played bass (very well too!).
Liner notes for track 11: Picture this....the studio floor is full of childrens' toys .Members of the band are jumping up and down, pretending to be apes, crocodiles , pulling faces in order to make the delightful mother (who BOUGHT the toys ) laugh.She does....a lot.
Liner notes for track 12: Just to prove the The Universe is inclined towards chaos rather than order.
