Dad: "Make sure you take the time to smell the roses."

Trav: "What Roses?"

The idea behind this album was to slow down. Indulge in the details. Stop blitzing through songs like a super-efficient robot. Take time to permeate the music with an organic "scent". And so on.

My big rule for the album was that I had to take at least 3 days to finish a song, instead of the usual 2. Each song also had its own rule, forcing me to experiment with different performance or engineering techniques.

Did slowing down help the music? I don't think so. Of course, I never like music I've just finished. Maybe in a couple of years I'll favor these tunes over their contemporaries. But I kinda doubt it.

Anyway, on to the next album. No time to waste!!!
