The record owes it's groovacious sheen and polish to Mike Shipley and Brian Wohlgemuth, who ever so soulfully mixed and mastered the tracks.

Cheers to Ron Pendragon, the man of many hats, who not only helmed the engineer's chair and recorded the drums and backing vocals, but also assumed the role of graphic designer.

The songs were written on Kauai between 1997 and 2006, with the exception of Rapture In The Rain, which goes back to 1988, a very moist time in Haena.

Kauai artist/surfer Steven Valiere painted the cover art, and long-time rock music photographer Jim Shea shot the back cover and disk tray photos.
We gotta hand it to Leo McCarthy for risking his life for photos of AT surfing Hanalei.
