This is the first tune I recorded at Flaming Jangle Studios, in the dining room before the spare room was converted to a studio space. It's been a while since I took guitars seriously, been trying to get my chops back. I've also been recording through some new outboard gear, which has allowed me to pre-EQ and compress on the way in. It's made a massive difference to the sound and the song mostly mixed itself from there.

In the wee hours of the night-time sun here in The Western Isles of ScotIand, I like to flatter myself that it sounds like something Talking Heads or Peter Gabriel might do. The subject matter is so edgy it should only be handled wearing oven gloves and a kevlar stab vest. Mind yourselves there!
