Album Notes

These seven tracks consist of Mark Rushton and Jon Harnish\'s last recording session at Jon\'s Weather Excuse Studio in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before Jon\'s house and studio were destroyed by record flooding of the Cedar River in June of 2008. Two tracks have rhythmic backing. A number of them feature the Buddha Machine playing throughout. Mark is on Xiosynth and Ableton Live. Jon is on bass guitar and effects box. The session was later edited by Mark Rushton at The Bunker in Iowa City. Mark\'s music and free podcasts can be found at markrushton.com.
