Album Notes

FULLY FUNCTIONAL (released in January 2006): the 2nd CD released by SECRET AGING MEN ; is comprised of 12 tracks, totalling over 62 minutes and was recorded live in the studio during 2005.

The group's newest release (April 2007) "Night Mowing" can be accessed from this page by clicking on the "Night Mowing" link at the lower left part of the page.

FULLY FUNCTIONAL's 12 tracks range in intensity from fast and furious to slow time-bending laments, all with a flair for the exotic. Progressive drumming, torqued bass, piano, synth keyboards, guitar, and guitar synth flutes, saxes, strings, and more blend to wall-of-sound at times, lush and soft at others. Four players, live, no overdubs.
