Release Notes:

We wrapped the Weight world tour in Brazil in November 1994. By 1995, we were
back at Context Rehearsal hall working on new material. We hit it five days a
week. Songs got written and put on tape. They got tossed out, brought back in
again, re-arranged, shelved again, discussed, etc. It went on and on. Many
months later, we had a chunk of songs and we started looking for producers. We
ended up with Steve Thompson and we went to Bearsville in upstate New York in
1996 and put down a lot of songs. Tracking was done pretty quickly. We moved
down to NYC and into Sorcerer Studios in Manhattan and did vocals and the mix.
We ended up with a lot of songs. We picked some out for the Come In & Burn album
and that was it. I say that was it, because I mean that was it. I felt that
there was no more music that was going to come out of the five of us. It felt
like we had done what we could do creatively and it was all cool but it was
over.
Come In & Burn came out in early 1997 and we hit the road soon after. The record
company wanted a song like Liar and there was nothing like that on Come in and
Burn. I noticed that DroneWorks wasn’t interested in us or the record and we
were just getting passed through the system. Makes me wonder why they were ever
interested in us. Didn’t matter, we were on tour and hitting it nightly. We
toured until November and finished in Osaka, Japan.
Some years later, Come In & Burn went out of print when DreadWorks decided that
they weren’t a very good record label. I got the title back and decided to make
it as interesting a release as I could.
So here’s what I did: included all the b-sides and outtakes and rearranged the
song order to accommodate all the extra tracks. You will notice Stray and
Disappearing Act have the same music but different vocals/lyrics. This is
something I had always wanted to do. It’s two different aspects of a
relationship written in the same meter. I don’t know if the concept holds water
but it was an idea that I had been wanting to do since 1992. Perhaps when you
hear all the music, it will give you a clearer idea of where the band was at. I
think there’s some good music here. These guys were serious players! Critic
types hated the record and beat us up pretty good, especially me. Such puny
fists.
It was a great time and a great line-up of people. 1993-1997. Chris, Theo, Sim
and Melvin are some of the finest people I’ve ever met. I have been wanting to
put this CD set out for some time. I hope you dig it.
