about

Recorded by C. Daar on a Tascam 488 MKII 8-Track cassette recorder in 2004-2005 as a nostalgic romp. The tascam crapped out before it was completed. Another check in the “great ideas left undone” column. Collected & Mixed June - October 2013. Remastered August - September 2018.

What’s presented here was taken from from test mixes. Some fnished tracks from these sessions were released as In Limbo Deux [TM-109].
