If asked, Linda M. Smith would claim that the recording of her recent album was very subdued, with everybody down to business. There were, however, some very inspiring and wonderful moments listening during the process of laying this record down. "I remember everyone was really stirred up the first time we all heard the sitar live in the studio", recalls the record's Co-Producer, Robert Arendt.

The album was recorded, mixed and pressed at Acme Recording Studios in Chicago during 1997. The Session Engineer was Paul Smith and the recording was mastered by Danny Leake for Urban Guerrilla Engineers Linda wishes to thank these wonderful professionals and the others (Fran, Cam, John, and Mark) at Acme who helped make this album such a success.

It was a fairly standard recording process which followed a progression used before by Linda. The rythym tracks were layed down first - drums, acoustic guitar and bass. Then keys were dubbed over, lead guitars and finally all vocal tracks. The goal was to get it down", says Linda, noting that "it is a raw album emotionally, and we wanted to capture some of that in the recording style".

The album was produced by Robert Arendt and Linda M. Smith. Cover photo and hand tinting by Ana Riback. Art direction and graphic design for the CD was overseen by Kathryn Kowalchik.
