NOTE: In September of 1986 Heavy the World published a 3-record album entitles "Runes" on HTW Records. Studio versions of material marked (*) can be found on Runes. While far too stylistically grandiose, artistically escteric and aesthetically intense to receive much commercial attention, many said the album to be inextricably linked to Nordic mysticism | |||||
"Erupting Battlements" is based on Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Tarkus." "Interplanetary Caravanpsoriasis" is based on Black Sabbath's "Caravan." |

This album was recorded without overdubs or multitracking on a MCI JH 110 A analogue two-track tape recorder at
30 inches per second through a Neve 8036 console with minimal equalization. No noise reduction was employed. The guitar was
close-miked in stereo with a matched pair of AKG 452 EB condenser microphones in a cardioid pattern.
This album is dedicated to my teachers of composition; E.J. Ulrich who sent me on my way, Jean Ivey who let me go my own way, and Morris Cotel who asked me where I was going and why. Thanks to Ervin Somogyi of Berkeley, CA who built the splendid guitar used on most of the tunes in this recording. Thanks also to Ken DuBourg of Arbutus, MD who made the guitar used on Eleven Small Roaches, Babytoes, and Two Days Old. |
