"here back in Buenos Aires
after more than three months touring...
so nice to slow down and relax a bit."

Those were the first words coming from an email from Anla after
another long tour around Europe but there had been many other tours.

Day 10.  After a long train delay in Mannheim we were confused and
exhausted and not remembering where the next destination would be.
Mannheim had only offered a hard floor as bed and no sheets, and this
is in the middle of winter time.
Of course this experience gave us the idea that we should or more
precisely MOST do a record together which concept would be:
Travelling.  Like an audio travel guide.  Plus we are all big fans of
the Travelling Wilburys.
We thought this idea to be one of the best one on this tour so far. In
the train we were listening to Future Days by CAN.

Day 4.  Moving backwards a bit here.  We caught Anla working on
recordings in his hotel room.  This was in Stockholm and one of the
better paid gigs, with hotel rooms for all of us.
Anla was interested in the sound coming from the heater in the bathroom.
So he started recording it´s sound using a dictaphone.  It sounded really
interesting and was made into a long fade at the nights gig in
Stockholm.
That same sound you can hear on the record.

Day 6: Copenhagen: Here traditional town flavors, located bookstores
can be found all around. Beer capital town some might say. Weather was
not on our side and the trip took close to 12 hours but was all worth
it.
I think it was Siggi saying something along the lines of: "Expensive
but worth it!"
Helgi also remembering that time in the late 90s when touring with
Reynols.  Back then we did gigs with small card paper boxes as main
sound source.

Day 8: The Keukenhof Gardens, Leiden, Holland. We decided to invite
some local musicians to the bar, as we had a few days off we took
advantage of doing a few outtakes. Some of it appears on this record
but we can't tell you where as the track listing got mixed-up by the

recording engineers.
