DESCRIPTION:
This is a CD I recorded over 10 years ago. My first attempt at writing music and home recording. it's heavily influenced by Todd Rundgren, David Gilmour, Boston, Rush and probably a few others I forgot to mention. I pressed about 100 CD's and gave away 50 4 track samplers to anyone who wanted them. A couple of songs were played on college radio (Psychic Superior and Doin' Fine) I'm somewhat proud of what I did, although I wish I still had the multitrack masters to remix it, I have much better equipment and I've learned a lot about recording and engineering since then. In any case, I hope you enjoy!

For all the tech geeks out there I recorded this in a 13x13 bedroom, (you can really hear it in the drums). I used Radio Shack mic's (33-3002) I used a Yamaha MD8 8 track mini disc recorder, an alesis nano verb for delays and reverb on the vocals and final mix, an alesis nano compressor for final mix compression and it was mixdown on a set of KLH 911B bookshelf speakers. post mix EQ was a Behringer FBQ 1502 15 band stereo EQ.
