The Freedom Sessions

Track 9 contains a hidden acoustic version of 'Hold On' from 4:43-9:28. Data track is not hidden from CD players, and shows up as track 1. The videos on the data track listed here are in Quicktime format. There are also 60 audio files on the data track in AIFF format. Recorded and mixed at Studio Nomade (Morin Heights) except "Ice Cream" recorded in The Glass Elevator. "Most of the songs on Fumbling Towards Ecstasy began as acoustic pieces. Early on in the recording process we thought about putting out two records: one record of the original acoustic songs and another with more produced and/or layered songs. In time, one version usually presented itself to be the stronger or just more interesting in its instrumentation and direction, whatever felt right at the time. I love the Fumbling Toward Ecstasy recording and wouldn't change a thing, but I love these versions as reminders of where the songs started and of the various paths we wandered down to discover their identities. It was a joy watching them grow." Made In Canada.
