Genesis

The album was recorded in many different places, so among other things in the home of Avey Tare, in the house, which the band has shared in Brooklyn Heights and Geologists in the dorm room and the room of his college radio station. In order to produce the music, they used guitars, synthesizers, samples and percussion with various, spontaneously found materials.

Style

At the time of recording, the band shared a penchant for extreme audio frequencies. They experimented with very high and low sounds and how they used the space in the room and moved in the listener's head. This was when mastering a challenge, because they could not increase the total volume of the mix without destroying or changing the extreme frequencies. In the band Animal Collective's Geologist Forum wrote about the recording of the album:

" We used guitar synthesizer and made different sounds on mini discs and perkussionierten with everything lying around just. We have [ ... ] largely taken up there, where we had our peace. We just wanted to find a new style of on - board - playing. This happened after we long with song structures, noise and how you could combine it fluently three the summer, had experimented and improvised. [ ... ] The plate has many people excited, especially the people who really liked Spirit. Many people finding still not good that we brought out the two albums on FatCat. But we are quite proud of it. "

For the Spirit / Danse re-release on FatCat Records album of Rusty Santos has been remastered, which in 2005 also produced the album Sung Tongs.
