Personal Thoughts
The thing that I remember most about this collection of music is that it was my first attempt at using a laptop in the studio. The place I was working at the time had just bought for me the newly released 12" PowerBook G4, which was an amazing piece of technology. I couldn't afford a software platform, so I had to settle on a trial license of an application, which gave me two weeks to record an album. Because I didn't have an interface of any kind, I had to rely solely on the stereo line input on the laptop, so Tracks 1-6 are essentially demos and covers of songs that I made while deciding whether or not I was going to buy the software. The rest of the songs were produced using Sonic Foundry ACID 4 and my Roland VS-840EX. I quite vividly remember recording the song Union & Parkwood kind of without hardly putting a thought into it... in the dark, in a small room in that brownstone on the corner the song's named after. It's arguably my favorite of any song I've ever written or recorded. Nothing has ever encapsulated a moment in my life the way that that track still does.
