about

Originally released on CD in 2009 by the sadly missed Dead Pilot Records.

I've taken the time to go back and remaster the album, which is now hard to find...just in case anybody wanted it.

I think that it sounds better than ever.

In comparison with my later releases this is a far less "comfortable" listen, and leans heavily on the noise side of things; so anyone looking for more romantic piano twinkling might get a surprise listening to this....although it does also have its calm moments.

Track 5 is one of the oldest Stray Ghost tracks, but waited until this release to re-surface.

Also included is a re-mastered version of "Brushes" a live track which came on a bonus 3" CD included with the first 100 copies of the album.

If anyone wants the un-remastered tracks for comparison or nostalgia, let me know and we'll see what we can do.

"All instruments, composition, recording, late nights and mastering by Stray Ghost; except Bass guitar on "The End" played by Jakob Brant.

All photographs taken by Stray Ghost, except the "Ghost" portrait by Abigail Haidemenos

This album is dedicated to everyone that I love and to all those who have encouraged me, thank you; you make it all worthwhile.

I also wish to extend enormous gratitude to Dan from Dead Pilot Records for making this exist as a physical object.

Thank you for listening."
