Slider - Project 1 (1986)

Slider was the first collaborative recording project between Pat and Daniel Brooks. It was recorded on a Fostex X-15 4-Track cassette recorder. There are actually three different groups of recordings; the first group are completely solo recordings by Pat, another are solo recordings by Daniel and the third are true collaborations. This last group of recordings were achieved by passing the recorder from one to the other and then back, building up to a finished product. Pat enlisted the keyboard skills of one "Ninja" Bob Lapp to
flesh out some of the songs.

The final results are a pleasant listen and not bad for a freshman effort. Daniel has re-recorded many of his songs over the years usually with better results or at least better sound quality, although the version of "Two for the Love of One" here remains the definitive version despite the low recording quality.

The Bonus tracks are all from around the period when the album was recorded. Mostly ideas that went no further (Trowerrip, Floydianbass) or Accidental oddities (Kids Fight Back).
