Notes:
The steam-wand performance of Tristan Duke (Infinity Light Science) was
recorded after hours with the espresso machine at Caffe Paradiso using
the Fostex cassette 4-track that was used to record the Album of the Eye
(The rest of the album was recorded digitally to ADAT with the same
machine lent to Henry Frayne of Lanterna for the album Sands). The
timpani drums for the same secret song appended to the end of track 5
were recorded in the Urbana High School band room courtesy of Mr.
Peters, at least a year or two after graduation. Kayla Brown (We The
Animals), who was already signed to Parasol Records when she was 14 with
her band Feaze, is the little sister of Drummer Dave Brown (Solo Mono).
She played just one show with a stripped back version of The Invisible
at Sweet Betsy's (post-Nature's Table) which coincided somewhat with the
release of Here It Comes. Duckman (IBS/BRC/High Street Orchestra)
provided backing vocals for track 8 that didn't make it into the final
mix. Zack Sloan's drums were recorded first at the original New Street
location of (The) Polehouse in Champaign, where Karl lived with POO
co-founder Moose and former Tractor Kings member Norm, as were the rest
of the Drums besides Dave Brown's. The annual POO formal was held at
this same New Street location during that time, where the earliest
Groove Timber tracks were also recorded. Dave Brown's drums were
recorded at the second, Urbana Street location of Polehouse (after Sloan
re-located to Utah - later joining King Niko), where Joe Stover also
mixed the Tractor Kings album Sunday Night, and where Tristan Duke also
lived with the band. When that house sold, Polehouse was forced to
re-locate a third time and Jon Pines, who had begun initial talks about
Mixing the album had a property available next door to Private Studios,
which is where tracking was done, in at least one case (Understand),
minutes before mix-down of the final tracks.
