This is the printable cover for What Roses.
Since I use it to make labels, it's tailored to my printer and browser (IE7) settings. It might not look or print as nicely on your PC.
I suggest you try a print preview and/or low-ink draft print before trying to print actual labels.
Make sure you configure your browser to print backgrounds, or the images won't print.
Set your left/right printer margins to 0.75 and your top/bottom margins to 0.50.

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!!!
