NOTES -- The start of "phase two" of X-Sweet. Lo-fi, noise/shoegazeish music recorded over 10 years ago on my trusty old Tascam Porta 7 four-track. Really crappy drum machine, self-indulgence that sometimes goes on for too long, singing you can barely hear over the overdriven guitar. The sound gets more layered and noisy, the songs more self-indulgent. I was finally starting to feel my way into something of a comfort zone. Not quite there yet, but getting there. Initially "released" on cassette, where I mailed out many copies, and then moved to CD. The cassette version has a shorter edit of Hal's Last Words, and Drifting in the Moonlight (and I think A Beginning) do not appear. Hal's Last Words is a slightly reworked version of Where R U? I Can’t C U? from Io, Europa, and Hal's Last Words, from which Destroy Her Gently is also drawn. The First Song in G once received airplay on a Canadian college radio station.
