This compilation represents different ways of working from being in a conventional studio with a concentrated period of recording and mixing to now working with electronics and computers where it evolves over period of time until you are satisfied its a longer process.

Basically l used photos from different periods of venus fly traps history as the artwork. Both myself and andy come from a graphics background.

With electronics you can produce unusual sounds and beats that feel unnatural to play live some we have managed to work with but you have to concentrate..
