Things that sound like a full orchestra were carefully assembled, track by track through a procedure known as over-dubbing. The weird middle section of DOG BREATH(after the line , \"Ready to attack\") has forty tracks built into it. Things that sound like trumpets are actually clarinets played through an electric device made by Maestro with a setting labeled Oboe D'Amore and sped up a minor third with a V.S.O. (variable speed oscillator). Other perculiar sounds were made on a Kalamazoo electric organ. The only equipment at our disposal for the modification of these primary sounds was a pair of Pultec Filters, two Lan Equalizers, and three Melchor Compressors built into the board at Apostolic Studios in New York. The board itself is exceptionally quiet and efficient (the only thing that allowed us to pile up so many tracks) and is the product of Mr Lou Lindauer's imagination \u0026amp; workmanship. The material was recorded on a prototype Scully 12 track machine at 30 ips. The whole project was engineered by Richard Kunc or Dynamite Dick, as he is known to the trade. Special engineering credits go to Jerry Hansen for the percussion effects added later at Sunset Sound in L.A., and to our friend Mike in Copenhagen for the tapes he sent us.\n \nSpecial thanks to: \nRuth Komanoff who plays marimba and vibes with Artie on many of the tracks, and \nNelcy Walker the soprano voice with Ray \u0026amp; Roy on Dog Breath \u0026amp; The Uncle Meat Variations \n__________________________________________________\nUncredited:\nPamela Zarubica as Suzy Creamcheese\n\n\u003c\/pre\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
