In late 2009, \"Manik\" Myk Thompson suggested we revive our long dormant collaboration with some recording of an experimental/psychedelic nature. I countered by suggesting that we do so with the goal of a recording a second album under The Vertigo Swirl identity. We began with a day of improvisation that yielded \"Jeremy's First Flight\", \"Third Sun from the Stone\" and the compositional beginnings of \"The Megalith\". I added my contributions to some tracks that Myk had begun at home (\"We've Got Electricity\", \"Molehill Sherpa\", \"Loneliness Is a Choice\" and \"Got Yer Back\") while he, in turn, added guitar to my own pet projects (\"You Belong in Outer Space\" and \"The Megalith\"), a couple of guest performers did their thing and, voila, we had a new swirled record - eight paths of excess trod by two psychedelic brothers in arms.
