The Songs, the instruments, the musicians and the producer. They all are responsible for a sparkling album. While recording at Trout Recording, Brooklyn, NY in spring 2007 everything just fell into place.
The result is a space rock gem beyond comparison. Astronaut Bowman used to mumble: "Oh my god - it's full of stars." and knew: The univers starts with yourself.

His modesty would never let him say this, yet Bryce Goggin is a mastermind of indie music. In the mid nineties he coined important records as engineer (for The Ramones among others) and created the Pavement sound as producer. Eversince he's working with successful artists at Trout Studios in Brooklyn, NY, where assistants Adam, Merritt, Rob and Zelda (the sheperd dog) take care of a true treasure chest of analog vintage equipment.

| Thomas Winkler (live/studio) | Claudia Remondino (live) | Singha Dee (live) | 
Biggles’ enigmatic keyboarder since 2004. With a keen sense for manic keyboard parts he makes sure, all the songs stay full of pop and madness. | 
She's the woman playing the humming bass and contributing the backing vocals. Don't let her calm vibe fool you: This is a fan of Kim Deal playing.

The warrant for terrific drum fills and patterns ever since the Colossus album. There's only one thing the man from Ceylon loves more than his kit: Curry.

| Royston Langdon (studio) | Jonny Cragg (studio) | | 
Former singer and bassist of Spacehog and current leader of Arckid brings his own glam to the studio (a.o. by wearing the boots of his wife - Liv Tyler).
