I sold 149 copies of this album in early summer 2002, giving me 10 quid short of three months rent. The project began as an experiment with lousy recording practises, scratchy guitars over hiphop beats on a shitty little pc with a 16 quid soundcard and mixed on an old Sansui amp with speakers I found in my granny's house. Then some mad life stuff happened and a bunch of lyrics fell out of me. Most of the vocal takes are first takes, some making up the words as I was recording. I cheated every way I could, I recorded in the wrong sequence, generally leaving the drums til near last, and it seemed I edited for months. As a mate told me, "It wasn't recorded very well, you can play better, the vocals aren't great and it's produced very strangely! But it's fuckin' cool!"
