Recorded in 1995 in celebration of the birth of my older son, who is now 21.  I recorded this in real time on an Alesis ADAT machine.  I used all kinds of gear on this---from a Roland Jupiter 6 to a Yamaha QY- something.  Whatever worked.......

Neu Birth 95

In the spring of 1996 I had the opportunity to go to Germany for 10 days with Mark Gage of Vapourspace to assist in performing his Cusp album in clubs around the country.  Mark taught me the ropes---we took 140 lb of equipment(!!!!) and I learned the good and dodgy aspects of performing electronic music live.  "Wishbone" is the first time I performed my own material live after my return from touring with Mark.  This recording includes "Sputnik" at the end, which was released as my first and only 12".  "Wishbone" really should have been my CD release instead of "Stellar Interiors", but at the time I could not see the forest for the proverbial trees.  Easy to say now at 60-- back then I was a dumb 40 year old youngster.
