This album was dedicated to Stephen Perkins’ deceased brother Marc.

The following blurb is taken from the back of the CD:

Banyan founders Stephen Perkins and Dave Turn experiment in sound drawn on a diverse range of inspiration for their debut album – from Miles Davis to Stravinsky and points in-between.  This largely instrumental tour de force also features the talents of Mike Watt, Nels Cline and The Freeway Keyboardist.  Recorded by the Dust Brothers and mixed by John King of the Dust Brothers.
