So... Cheyne Brothers was the provisional name for what essentially was an instrumental studio project by Phil Mills and Tony Smith. The majority of the recordings were made while Phil was active in The Colour Mary, where this project provided a welcome escape from the pressures of having to perform the songs live. The majority of the songs were recorded on occasional weekends at Tony's house in Raleigh, Essex, UK. We would hire a large mixer and an 8-track real-to-real, and spend the whole weekend jamming. Out of it would usually appear some nice ambient tracks.  The music was heavily influenced by Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine and bands of that genre. Phil played guitars, Tony played Bass, and together we programmed drum machines and played with samplers and keyboards.
