Notes

The Last Dinosaur is Jamie Cameron and Luke Hayden.

This album was recorded on and off between December 2007 and March 2009.

No computers were used in the recording of this music.

All songs were recorded at home (Essex) on a multi-track recorder, usually late at night and often written as we recorded.
All songs were limited to 16-tracks, so to save tracks drums were recorded with two microphones (one in the bassdrum, one overhead) and a looping pedal was used in instances where harmonising parts were needed with a lack of tracks.

A lot of parts in these songs were first take improvisations (for instance, the guitar solo in The Record Player, all the piano in Gusts Of Wind.., the piano flourishes in Home and I Found My Voice, the viola in The Song Playing.., most of the sax parts throughout the album and more).

This music is by no means perfect, so if that's what you like perhaps find something a little more polished, this is raw, unplanned, homerecorded, honest music with background noise, off-notes, hiss and mistakes and we wouldn't want it any other way.
