The recording piano at SSD is the Baldwin SD-10 Concert Grand. The recording at Sparrow Sound Design was made exclusively with vintage Neumann and AKG tube microphones, maintained and modified by Bill Bradley. The reverb is the EMT 140-S plate, with a Lexicon PCM-41 as pre-delay and Pultec EQP 1-A E.Q. Other outboard gear includes Pultec tube eq, LA-2A tube compression, Urei 1176 LN limiters, RNC compression and Ashley compression. CD mastering was done on a custom PC, created by James Line, "The Lan Man", with SoundForge, CD Architect and Gina Software systems. Studio equipment is maintained and modified by Mike DelValle, Deltronics, Chicago.

From liner notes:

<i>POW

why does the word laptop seem like sex?
i could drop a laptop in your face,
do girls like laptops?
or lapbottoms, as they expose their
tummies and backsides in O5 ...nice chrysler tatoos on her butt

varese the french composer would like laptops,
for his belief was in "organized sound" (or navels) ...he would
work with the remains of so called classical music,
and use electronic tape as an instrument, plus he
had hair like that cat in eraser head.

the opening chord in track one brigade feels like brahms,
do you know that before he died he experimented with "negro
ragtime" ...makes sense since his left hand was a mother fucker,
like lennie tristano.

i want to kill anyone who dj's, cause they put working musicians
out of work, and they smell.

does new music come from "the land of the living dead" ...
it seems scary..

What is TV Pow? who are they? do their computer sound chords
tangle like umbilical cords in the alien vs. the predator? are they
mastering records beneath the sex of r. kelly or the thighs of beyonce?

3. i'm working on it right now 4:34 did some one in the band open a can
of beer with a thumb piano?

proof that the writer did listen to da cd.....

when blonde/black women like and dig this type of music, condoleezza rice will swear
an oath to john coltrane.
