Metroschifter’s first album was recorded in 1994 when members of Sunspring, Falling Forward and 411 got together. Scott Ritcher, Pat McClimans and Mario Rubalcaba deliver a unique, concise, no-nonsense brand of explosive, mathematical rock, augmented by string quartet work from the Rachel’s.
To raise funds for pressing the album, we advertised it to fans and began taking orders before the record was completed. The finished albums were personalized with the names of the people who ordered it and delivered to their homes. Today, people would call it crowd funding. Back then, we were just looking for a way to make it work.
This album was re-issued by Conversion Records in California the following year.
Some may remember that the CD version was split into 99 tracks, with the track number changing when parts of the songs changed. Rest assured, this downloadable version takes a much more traditional approach: each song is its own track.
