Band Members: The recordings here were made with the help of many top musisicans: Charly Lynn (singing), Tom Pilling (Piano), Dazza (bass), production assists by check out Robin "Variations" Goldberg and even Tamor "Miillion Minds" Kriwaczek (check out One Million Minds ).
Al sings for the most part and there's some evidence of his guitar playing in plain view. He did all the programming and writing, except for "The Brainwash" which was written with Robin McGoldberg. (It's on the MP3 player on the right.)

Sounds Like: Elvis Costello meets Nick Cave and the Beastie Boys. But when they meet they don't get on and there's a bit of a fight. Willie Neslon comes along and makes a slightly tense peace.
