NOTES - Recorded as an experiment in long songs and "suites," this was probably as obnoxious as X-Sweet got ... and it makes sense, as this coincided with the birth of both m2 and Slumbersigh, two projects that lived and breathed long, sprawling soundscapes. Following this experimental record, X-Sweet would never again venture so far into the experimental, instead retreating back into more traditional song structures. (Hell, I wouldn't release an X-Sweet record for another TEN YEARS!) In truth, it qualified as X-Sweet almost entirely because of the crappy drum machine that all but defined pre-2006 X-Sweet. As of this writing (November 2009), I hope to remaster these recordings and once again unleash them on the world. Album cover is by the long lost Hai Tran. Hai, where are you?
