    Conceived, performed and recorded by Luna during the winter of 1995 (interpolating bits from previous summers).  Introduction recorded 'on the spot' in Studio B of CKMS, the rest recorded in the Blackhead/Whitehead bedroom.  Special thanks to everyone directly connected with this recording in some way: Jim, Neb & Eli especially; and thanks to the support group (Bronwyn, Scott, Nounoc etc!)

    A format that was becoming increasinly common for GREENman: long, interconnected pieces with discreet segments, strung together to tell a story.  In this case, it was the story of Samantha, built by Chuck in order to get revenge on those responsible for screwing him, particularly Reverend Ward.  It ended with Chuck's justification of Samantha's crimes, and everything worked out well enough to inspire a (never completed) full-length expose called 12 of 23.
    "Genius Is Genius" is a sort of strange reconfiguration of "Sin Is Sin Blood."  "Hiss" was an attempt at making a song entirely out of the bane of home tapers: tape hiss.  To make it a bit more interesting, a chorus pedal was introduced, and it ended up making some very strange interference patterns.  "Sloppy Chop Shop" employed super-fast sampler triggering to simulate the sound of simulated speech (a technique later used in "Venezuela" on Pleasure Pain Fighting Rose.)
    The b-side of the cassette is a series of short songs by the British group, TUOB.
