We first met the Japanese band Ghost in 1995; despite any language barriers, we
understood one another immediately and soon became friends. We have since toured
together in both the US and Japan, and on occasion Ghost has joined us on stage
to play our songs. After a show like this in Tokyo in the fall of 1998, we
decided to record an album together. Over the course of the following year, we
sent our new songs to Japan, and Ghost sent back ideas for production and
arrangements. They also sent music for for a new song of theirs, to which we
added lyrics. Then, in the last days of 1999 and the first of 2000, Ghost came
to our studio to record this album, and celebrate the New Year, together.
