This album wasn't meant to be a full length and it isn't.
When we recorded this demo with William Lopez we thought we would do a self-produced EP. After three days we ended up with tracks that sounded pretty well, and decided to release them as a album. Our friends from Dresden, Discorporate Records, were interested in releasing these crazy pieces of music, and so was Head Records from Montpellier (France).
In March 2009 the album was released.
It got a good amount of reviews see press page thanks to Andreas, Elenajane and Abel.

Jerome Aghion lended us the rights of his grand-father's photos (Marcel Delius). Macdara Smith did the art-work but he also raps, sings out of tune and plays trumpet (Think Twice, Osteti, Les Maisons Maquets). Charles Jousselin did the photos for the album. It was recorded and mixed by William Lopez, a lost Spaniard in France, and then mastered by Edouard Bonan.
