These live recordings were made on Sunday, December 18, 2005 between 1:00PM to 3:00PM. Drummer Phil Dupuis brought his old friend Rob Herkert (guitar) over to meet bandmate John Clancy (keyboards) and we decided to plug in and roll tape. Most of these improvisations start off pretty tentative, but there are absolutely some valid moments here once they get going. Listening to these afterwards, I am surprised they came out this well; I really do not recall this sounding even this good when we did it. Send all complaints directly to Clancy.

  * BonusTracks - Ok, ok, here is the final mix of (1) Above It All (we called it Gort Berenga, long story) this is the one with the bass and the sound bytes from my favorite movie. Written by primarily by Mark Dearing at the end of 2005 for our ill fated band "After Life", featuring Mark Dearing on Vocals & Guitar, Phil Dupuis on Drums & John Clancy on Keyboards and Jeff McMullen on Bass Guitar.   This song went through many, many mixes, but (10) this mix is the one with all the keyboard tracks audible (unfortunately there is no bass on this one).   We should have created a lot more music like this, but Jeff left, then Phil left then Mark left.  Band dynamics remain a mystery to me.
