Album Notes

The most welcomed and significant upgrade on this album was the addition of the highly talented drummer Joe Netzel. Check out his subliminal tom-tom work on the instrumental of "Boxed In"! With drums comes energy of which there is plenty on this album. The flavor of this energy runs from the dark ominous title track "Glitter" to the swing of "Heaven". After having climbed a large part of the learning curve, overall production quality of this second album is about 2 notches above the previous album. The cover features the intense gaze of John Andrew's three year old daughter with the Sun reflecting off her straw blond hair. Listen for her cameo appearance on Track 8 of the previous album In a Moment. For the Glitter album listen for the cameo of a religious right radio announcer whose radio signals came through the coil of studio wires at the end of recording Track 7—the timing was spooky, so, of course, it was left in. The lyrics of Glitter move away from the vicissitudes of love relationships toward ponderings of existentialism, influenced, no doubt, by John Andrew's wife who is a practicing Buddhist. This is not music one typically hears on the radio or for background music at parties. But for long car rides it's a talkative but warm companion.
