I spent most of the summer hanging out with friends in the rougher part of town and had the fortune of catching the train early in the morning at a crossing near the grain mill. The resulting field recording was subjected to numerous effects processes and melded together in an elongated collage of train sounds. The recording itself was done on a portable cassette recorder with a handheld mike, and the lo-fi recording gave this release a very gritty, rough quality (somewhat reminiscent of the quality of events in my life during the time it was produced).

This recording is recommended listening for bedtime, reading, playing while watching TV with the sound muted, and golden afternoons just before sunset. If played in an area where trains already pass through, enjoy this recording with them in the background as well.
