Dedicated to Warwick Newell.

Produced and mixed by me.
All music and words by me. All vocals by me.
All guitars and acoustic sounds recorded and performed by me.
Recorded and created in: Room 5 Block 1 MWC/UNE Armidale, Harrington Park (Sydney), and Taree, All being of NSW, Australia.
All photography and computer artwork by me.

Some of the original mixes for these songs were created in 1997, many in 1998 and 1999, and a few in 2000. It hopes to capture the essence of the other 100 odd songs I have written in the last four years.

No sound recording studio was used in the creation of this album. It was entirely made using my PC and the listed software and hardware. This art of constructing music in this fashion is called TRACKING. There are thousands of trackers throughout the world who are part of an underground scene making great music without much recognition at all. Help support the scene by spreading tapes of tracked music, tell your friends about artists on the internet, and provide feedback to everyone who immerses themselves in this worthy pastime.

Software:
- Fast Tracker 2.08 and 2.09
- Cool Edit 96
- ReBirth 2.0

Hardware:
- Empire 233 Pentium with 16m Ram.
- AWE 32 Soundblaster soundcard.
- Zoom Player Pro 4040 digital effects pedalboard unit.
