2. Sleazy Dream Day 08:43
3. Now It's Dark 14:24

This album was recorded with a fairly anarchic approach. We used a few rehearsed themes as a base line then ran away with the whole thing. Our line-up was augmented by Graham Massey who joined us with an array of keyboards, brass and wind. He's featured on all but tracks 1 and 7.
In the spirit of improvisation we kept recording as we went on the fly and these are the results.
