Mastered by Erik Wofford at Cacophony http://cacophonyrecorders.com

We had a lot of fun knocking this one out! The Boxing Lesson rocks at verby space-rock magic, and they put on a hell of a live show. I love these guys. Paul, the vocalist/guitarist is quite the gear head (witness his live pedal arsenal setup) and I love swapping gear fantasies with him, and whats not to like about a girl tearing up a Moog Voyager onstage (among others - a Korg MS2000, sampler and a Yamaha CS-01 if I recall), Jaylinn is as sweet as she is learned in the mystical synth arts. Speaking of Moog, a lot of the processing on the original drums and the new synth pads is provided by our wonderful array of Moogerfoogers, and if anything we had to limit our selves, as the amount of processed takes suddenly became overwhelming. Running with the Moog theme, the Little Phatty and and the MG-1 are playing the bass in unison on this one, kicking bass and taking names. Me and Scot have done a few remxes together before, and it's always exciting for us to see where they go. The track usually ends up taking it's own direction, and we just help it along; sculpting new patches, carving out effects, and giving it additional new drums to run on. We particularly enjoy working with singer led bands, as alas, we do not have our own vocalist to work with (and it's a good way to work with finished vocals with out all the fuss) and we have long wanted to be some weird pop electronic mutant, but we have lost our way... or have we? So here ya go, feel free to download and share it! Enjoy!
