| This debut was released in June of 1999, with the 3 tracks on this record being recorded at a variety of spaces spanning September 1998 through March 1999.
Most of 'String Theory' was recorded at Chicago Trax during the blizzard Chicago experienced in the winter of '99, which dropped 2 feet of snow on the city. 'Colding Fields' and 'Until Sun' were recorded at Truckstop and Sadhu studios respectively and were mastered by Mike Hagler (who recorded most of L'altra's music of a sinking occasion record) at Kingsize.
These tracks were recorded during the period of time when Marc Hellner (Pulseprogramming) was a member. Each track resides in it's own musical landscape on this release. 'Colding Fields' starts slow with melodica and shakers, and is then joined by the entire group. 'Until Sun' is a sparse and delicate track which contains no drums or bass. 'String Theory' is the epic of the record at close to 9 minutes, and is continuously evolving. Together, the three showcase the variety of songs L'altra write. |
