During the last 2 years, I have spent a good portion of my time here on Earth preparing of my time here on Earth preparing for what you have in your hands. And for 2 days in June of 2008, I got together with Tigran, Harvie, Tyshawn, and the staff at the recording studio to document the music. Sal Mormando and I mixed the music in August; in September, I finally mastered it.
