Drums - David Wainer, Basses and Backing Vox - Nick Waldron, Guitars, Vox, Lasers, Guitar Synth, Textures and SFX. - Geoff Waldron, Rhythm Guitar and Backing Vox - Marty Rogers. Bass is a 1977 Fender Musicmaster plugged straight into a Fender 65 Bandmaster and Roland Bass Synth. Guitar tracks are a 1985 Hamer Scarab plugged straight into a 65 Fender Super Reverb and 65 Princeton. No pedals or FX were used on the main guitar and bass tracks.
No keyboards were used in the song, All of the "keyboard" sounds are monophonic analog guitar synth tracks meticulously layered and stacked upon each other. The space atmosphere intro was accomplished with reverbs and a simple analog wave generator/filter only. The song was tracked and recorded, mixed and mastered by Geoff Waldron in the various bedrooms he's had the last fifteen years and was financed with an absolutely constraining shoestring budget. The song is a large collage of various layers and textures. It is also rather simple but the various images and sounds contained within are complex yet organic. The song is the sum of Geoff's life experiences and was written in 1995. The video contains many iconic images of the 60's and 70's and reflects the "collage-like" atmosphere of the composition.
This is the band's only copyrighted song as of right now and as soon as more mixes are finished (redone maybe? There's constant remixing, repairing and the salvaging and rediscovering of the music that has been accumulating over the years) and copyrighted they will become videos as well. This is just a process of finishing and doing the old songs justice so that they can get put behind everyone and the newer songs can get some time spent on them in the shop.
Hopefully the frequencies are unique and challenging to the listener. We would never ask someone to go on a trip with us to somewhere they have already been before and I hope that you viewers will enjoy this unique and personal journey.
Awesome overdrive and growl on the bass.

@rednexus6 - That's Nick's stock '77 Musicmaster plugged straight into a 1966 Bandmaster with no pedals or effects. The bass in the 2nd part is actually that bass plugged straight into a BOSS SE-70 effects unit. It has onboard analog synth sounds that are better than most of the guitar synth sounds in my GR-300 and GR-700 units. The SE-70 does great moog and ARP sounds. Nick does hard work for a living and has these extremely rough and calloused hands, you can hear it in his tone.
