The details on this one are a bit fuzzy for me. If my memory serves, ASMZ did a tour with HangedUp and wrote a WHOLE new set of songs for the tour that still to this day haven't reached the studio. Just before this song the group played a song by HangedUp and finished it off with what has to be the best rendition of this song to ever reach human ears. As far as I can tell they only played this song two times on the whole tour but again, fuzzy on the details. I can't find any information on this anymore... Recorded 2005/10/17 at La Maroquinerie I made the album art for this one. Excuse the spelling mistake if you'd be so kind. Here's some info I pulled from an interview that seems to explain the tour. It appears this was before the drummer from HangedUp officially joined the group permanently "Ah, of course. The band's aforementioned open taping policy means that the Internet Archive, Archive.org, contains a large amount of Mt. Zion bootlegs. There are less bootlegs, however, of the band's War Radio project, a collaboration with Constellation labelmates Hangedup in 2005. The songs sound amazing, and they were rumoured for a proper studio release, but it never materialized. "We never get it together to mix it, we recorded it but i don't know why every time we schedule a mix day everything falls through. Someday we'll get around to mixing it." One of the weirdest things about the bootlegs was the spontaneous appearance of Patti Smith on one of them, reading poetry as the band improvised behind her. "Yeah we've played a few shows with Patti," says Efrim. "We have mutual friends, so he got us together. The last show we played with her was a little strange, though, because I guess she's friends with [Chili Peppers bassist] Flea as well, so Flea was part of the band, which was a little odd to say the least."" Here's a link to a lossless recording of the show! http://www.archive.org/details/sme2005-10-17.aud.flac16 Enjoy, enjoy, brothers and sisters haha
