I love this record. This was Kevin's final project just before he died. We started the band together with drummer Brian Macleod. At the beginning it was Kevin on everything, me on bass, and Brian drumming. I had been playing bass for a long time but never with other players like that! It felt very natural though. Being able to jam with Brian like that was fantastic. Some of the funnest recording sessions of my life were doing this record.

Side note: Brian MacLeod is one of the world great drummers. I have learned so much about groove from him. He is awesome.

Kevin and Brian had a couple of songs they recorded for fun, like the one entitled "Pretty" on the record. When they realized what they recorded was great they decided to make more of a band. I was asked to come in and jam and that's where that started. In the beginning of the band we were playing mostly funk songs and being very R&B about it. We would listen to bands like War and the Funky Meteres and try and steal grooves and things. Then, as time wore on and we played more, the band and the music kind of morphed into what you hear on the record. Kind of a dark rockish kind of thing. Kevin decided he wanted to be some kind of comic book character and wear a gas mask on stage so nobody would know that it was him. Everybody would wear rubber or latex. I landed the Tears For Fear gig right in the middle of all this and I didn't (luckily for me, I don't like to wear rubber, not my kind of thing ) have to dress up. But a lot of what I helped write and what I played was kept and built upon. While I was gone Kevin filled out the band with Susie Davis (keys), David Levita (guitar), and Paul Ill (bass).

The songs on this record are dark and very powerful. The production is amazing. Kevin was such a great engineer and mixer. He had golden ears.
