NOTES:
This was our first attempt at recording while Larvamind was only a few months old. We were trying very hard to get something...anything out there so we would have a better opportunity of playing bigger gigs than what we were getting. While this was strictly a cassette release, some of these tracks would later appear as The Charger EP.

ART:
This is the debut of Bob's famous 'LM' logo. [The same drawing would later be reworked into the opening graphic of the Larvamind website and as patches that we gave away at shows.] The typeface was short lived, however, as a lot of bands started using the Smash font. Thus begins a long series of designs that were never quite settled upon.

PRODUCTION:
A basic 2 track recording: everything was mic'd out and ran through a board that was then lined out to a standard stereo tape deck. While the drums and vocals appeared to be dominately overpowering, everything else was so quiet in that little basement of Bob's [where it was all laid out in only a few takes], that Nixon and Justin hadn't a clue how the finalized recording would sound. Despite the fair quality, everything would later be engineered through a flat EQ into a mono sound card and thus destroying the original mix.
