Using mostly session players, and having learned what he could of hard drive-based recording, Mike Moore has put together an amateur effort with aspirations of no one minding very much.
*Plymouth Brethren are like a compromise between Baptists and Quakers. Famous Plymouth Brethren-raised people you may have heard of include turn of the century occultist/junkie Aleister Crowley (of the Ozzy Osbourne song "Mr. Crowley", whose home Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin now lives in) and John George Haigh England's "Acid Bath Killer" who disposed of his victims by dumping them into vats of acid. The Internet tells us that John George Haigh was "born in Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, on July 24th, 1909, Haigh was raised with strict religious discipline. His parents were ardent members of the Plymouth Brethren - a severe religious sect for whom all manner of casual entertainment, movies, carnivals, musical shows...was sinful. Though the Plymouth Brethren desired to isolate their children from ‘corrupting’ influences, such unrealistic and oppressive restrictions probably succeeded in inspiring as much rebellion as piety."
