Us
Pendulum Records, 1988

Junkie, On the Wall, Same Way, Something Must Be Done, What a Life, Out of Time, Live With It, Decisions

This first Us album (on LP!), recorded before we had fully developed as a unit, leaned a little self-consciously toward pop. You can hear the subdued angst under our late-eighties mullets.
An updated version of "Junkie" still lives in my acoustic set.

Us: Bootleg / It / Mind Blender
Magnet Records, 1990-92

These self-made recordings document the free growth (like weeds) of an experimental, deeply expressive and forward-thinking band with no social or business skills.


Motherlode: Melt
Manatee Records, 1993

A fun side project of "sophisticated grunge," driven by violinist/singer Tracy Silverman.

A Million Living Things: Product
Entercor Records, 1993

Sleep, So Long, Ribeye, Garden of Earthly Delights, Here I Am, The Question, On the Wall, Stain, Destroyer, Slod

The forward-thinking dream band moved into new territory with a name change, a shaky record deal, and this dark, biomechanical masterpiece that got shelved when a certain member (speaking) panicked and fled. Music business (the ultimate oxymoron) leaves more roadkill...

Produkt
New Folk Records, 1999

Disconnected, Ikona, Hold the Sky Up, Walking Over, Lunch Hour, Log Jam, The Sky Is Falling, Small World, Bigger than Us, Muse, See No Evil, Madhura, Not At All, Vanishing Point

This fresh incarnation of the dream band combined the dark virtuosity of AMLT with an organic world-music bent ~ the shape of things to come.

Droplet: On the Face of the Earth
2001

A groovy pop side project with Troy from Produkt on drums; driven by singer/songwriter Chrissy Mitchell.

ONE-OFFS:

Gini Dodds: "Extraordinary You" ~ Silage (Best of KQRS Homegrown CD)

I played and sang backup for this gifted singer/songwriter on many duo gigs like this one.

An acoustic guitar piece with Jeff Klatt on cello. I also played a few supporting roles on this CD of HalLeonardians.

GH: "I Believe in Father Christmas" ~ Earthwishes (Christmas compilation CD)
2003

My sleepy-voiced, bouzouki-laden treatment of the classic "agnostic's carol" by ELP's Greg Lake.

OUT NOW...
