I’m not sure if other people can hear it as a shipping container, but when I listen to that record, I just the specific reverberation in the room. We recorded it out in the country in rural Victoria, where we converted a shipping container into a studio. "This song is a Cookie Craig-penned song. I really can’t play very well, but I can play well enough: ‘Roll tape, roll tape, roll tape, roll tape. It took a lot of takes just to get a very simple line. “There’s a lot of flute on this album, and I was just learning to play at the time. Time=Fate’s counter-melodies keep the acoustic front and centre, perfectly demonstrating that the instrument’s use far exceeds simply playing a chord sequence.
