David Kennedy (Guitar Vocals and keyboards) Frank Watt (Drums, Vocals and much more...) Ken Wannamaker (Bass and Vocals) and Dee Long (Guitar, Vocals and Keyboards) recorded many of these songs on 4 track or 8 track in a variety of locations.

At one point they recorded on 4 track at Dee's rented home in the basement. With a low ceiling and a dirt floor we set up a small studio using heavy blankets to isolate the drums and other instruments from each other and a makeshift control room. The mixer was hand made by Ivan, the technician at Toronto Sound Studio and we had a spring reverb and an analogue delay line for effects.
Some songs were recorded at the Long cottage in Ontario, and at one point they set up on the porch and performed “New Summertime” for a video shoot. The echo of the bass drum off the mountains is amazing!
e!
Some recordings were done at Frank Watt’s studio “The Carriage House”.
Later several songs were recorded at ESP studios in Buttonville, where Klaatu recorded the Magentalane album.
Many guests appear on the songs including some famous names like Grammy award winning producer John Jones and soundtrack guru Gerald O’Brien
