TECH NOTES:
Four years in the making, this once again hand-made album was produced, recorded, and mastered by the band at C.O.G.'s own studio / rehearsal lab in Harahan, Louisiana. A hard disk recording, it was made using Cakewalk 9 and Cooledit 95, with sound cards by Lexicon and Creative. During tracking, we used an analog Mackie mixer, and mics by ElectroVoice, AKG, and Shure. using Cakewalk 9's inline FX processing, we were able to keep the track count below 35 (see if you can hear which ones we got most carried away on.) Guest musicians were once again recruited to star on several cuts. Once the album was finished, we took two months to record and mix the sketches, which were representative of the comedy material we were presenting onstage at the time.

This album is a sonic marvel. The C.O.G. has never sounded better.
