about

Tracks 1-3 are further duo sessions from 1996, `Bells Of Baumann' is our self-explanatory celebration upon the arrival of the actual Mellotron tape rack which belonged to Peter himself. Julian Cope had first shout on this but wasn't clued up enough to realize what he could've had.

Tracks 4-6: `Geiger' and `Titanic' were trio pieces recorded in the same evening and once again are represented in their extended forms. 'Geiger' would take on a life of its own as a live staple, but this is how it happened for the first time, out of nothing. `Titanic' is also exclusively the desk recording for the first time. We had mixed a room mic into it first time around. `Fire and the Monster' was recorded earlier the same day.

Tracks 7-12 capture RMI at the end of January 1997, this was the first trio session for a few months, in anticipation of the first October Gallery gig performed on 9th February. Six roughly 20 minute pieces, five of them previously unreleased. `Rainy Day Song' would go on to appear on the final version of `Organ Harvest' later in the year, but the pieces leading up to it had been all but forgotten.

Some amusing/interesting titles to grapple with: `Sunny Teesside's full title was `Come To Sunny Teesside Mrs Emerson', not a reference to the keyboard giant Keith, but in fact a Brazilian footballer who had signed for Middlesbrough FC and whose wife was somewhat reluctant to leave Rio De Janiero behind for the bracing splendour of Redcar.

`Not Even In The Room' is a literal reference to Gary's non-physical presence at the recording of this piece....having left a loop running and found something else to do, which probably involved watching the Grand Prix on TV. `Silver Machine' is obvious (although by no means a cover version), and `Searching For The Spark's significance is lost in the mists of time, other than sharing a title with a Steve Hillage classic loved by all of us.
