Copyright (c) So-Real Ltd. Pressed By EMI Uden The essence of 'Ether', my voice, guitar and basic grooves, was recorded at home on a laptop. The plan was to go out with a Mac, an audio interface, microphones and other minimal equipment, to a number of international locations where I had some contacts to just let things happen. In the beginning I planned to record songs in specific places. It soon became clear that the best approach was to meet people, most of them for the first time, play them a few of the tracks and gauge which ones they could best contribute to. We ended up working with some 30 people in the UK, New York and Europe. (John Watts, April 2003)
A same titled CD album has been released first in 2002 under the 'Fischer-Z' moniker with a different running order also with four different tracks but without 'Delight'. The same CD album as here has been issued in 2003, credited to 'John Watts' Fischer-Z'.
