The idea here was to base a simple song around the effect of a handheld tape recorder being paused and un-paused repeatedly, during a recording. Most of the vocal sounds were August.
It sounds strange now.

Mister Splinterer
An attempt at writing a song around a theme. Not sure how I got the vocal effect on the four track, but I suspect I panned the vocal to one side and everything else to the other, treating it as a two track and then putting the effect on one side on the computer.
Reflections
Sheer jest. I think August and I were up late, just playing song ideas. You can hear him singing a little backup in there.
Sentimentalities
One of my better attempts at four-tracking with an acoustic guitar and a simple song idea. Intended to overdub a horn section in the middle there, but much like with The Who singing “cello” on A Quick One, I just never got around to it.
I’ll See You Again
Very insistent that we would see each other again. No room for debate or discussion there. Wasn’t in the mood to write a ton of lyrics, it is a song of economy.
Castro
Apparently I was really into this chord progression.
Better Last Time
The vocals could have used a little rehearsal, methinks. August plays bass.
