I don't have a lot of notes for these songs. The first track
on each side is instrumental.  Both were recorded around the
same time. Probably the same month. Neither were named until
tonight as I write this in 2020.  I came accross all four on
an old hard drive  tonight and thought that they were pretty
ok and that it would be cool if a few people heard them.  So
they,  along with the album and band name,  got titles.  The
one titled "Dry  Soil" here exists in a version with a vocal
by a friend. I think I prefer the instrumental though. These
tracks were found in the first place because the friend that
sang on "Dry Soil" wanted my permission to use a re-recorded
and re-imagined version on an album she is putting together.
I'm glad I was  able to find both  the original with her and
this  instrumental  version.  Both instrumental  pieces were
recorded  in the bedroom  at the house  I was staying at the
time.  I believe the guitars were through a Crate combo amp.
That was put into  pro tools and drums  and direct bass were
added. I'm sure the effects pedals on the guitar were legion
but I cannot really remember what was used.

The other two tracks are spoken word tracks. I was listening
to  Slint at the  time and I think I  had just met the woman
who, ten years later,  would become my wife. She was in grad
school for creative  writing and was really into poetry.   I
also like poetry a lot, but do not fancy myself a poet...but
I like weird little stories without much context,  so I made
these.  We, she and I, would later collaborate a bit between
her writing and my music. But that is a story for some other
liner notes.  These two tracks were recorded with a borrowed
drum machine and the cheapest bass guitar ever made (really,
I think it was bought new for $60 US a few years prior).

I'm not sure why I chose to pair these two sets of unrelated
songs  together  other  than that I  came across  them again
after  so  many  years   and  they  felt  alright  together.
Different, but of a certain sort.
