Three official recordings document what Matt Mepham and I call "The Pendulum Years," although there is plenty of material not included here.

The 6 Track EP & Thrah.

All the tracks were recorded on aGateway 2000 that was old, even at the time. It had 1.2 gigs of hard drive space, which included computer operating files. We ended up having about 600 megs of space to work with. Because we wanted to save space (and we didn't know any better), we recorded all this stuff at 22khz as opposed to the 44.1 khz ( CD standard). This meant the quality was awful! As inexperienced 16-17 year olds, Matt and I thought it was awesome. Ready for radio.

A lot of the material was written when I was 15 and 16...a creative document of a time in my life. Anybody can listen to these records and be escorted back to the time of grunge and immature radio angst. But we did it our selves. Engineered, performed, burned the CDs, designed and printed labels and inserts. At the time, kids in high school were pretty impressed...we were right at the front end of D-I-Y.

Alice in Wonderland: The Official Theatrical Score.

This is the first time we really experimented with synths and guitars for reasons other than to express teenage angst and romance. Matt and I were recently talking jazzed we were for its release, and in some ways I think that excitement is something I want to hold on to. Not so much the blind arrogance of things, or the complete lack of technical classiness, but the excitement you have when you think you've done something new and want to share it.
