about

Kaleidoscope was the result of Simon buying a four-track and the band borrowing as much recording equipment as they could get their hands on during six frantic days in the summer of 1996. A house was obtained and parents dispatched and most rules of audio engineering were ignored or unknown (mostly unknown). This is the result.

Many, many thanks to Mike Gilbert for the lend of lots of stuff; Bill, Beth and James for the use and disruption of their lovely house as we turned it into a studio; and the bloke who lost the original DAT of the album (so we had a great excuse to remix it). Also thanks to all our families and the people and places who inspired these songs (they know who they are).
