Written and recorded by mikrokosmos on eight-track in the black winter of 1994 / 1995 at The Corridor, Shepherds Bush, West London, England....
These songs have had a troubled existence. Believed lost for good after The Corridor was all but destroyed by a flood in the autumn of 1995, the tapes were thought to have been thrown into a skip in the hurried clean up operation. It wasn’t until the summer of 1997 that they surfaced, returned anonymously by post to the studio with no note of explanation. Some of the reels were water damaged others arrived crumpled and unwound. After much painstaking restoration most of the songs were salvaged and taken to Apollo 8 where they were mixed in the autumn of 1997 by Tim Smith and mikrokosmos. The masters were then put away and forgotten for another nine years.
Not until the winter of 2006 were they dusted down, mastered and handed to Ignatia Recordings for release.
