Communicating At An Unknown Rate

About the album

In early 2000, UK noise-pop mainstay Steward (Boyracer) found himself in Sydney with the Cannanes in the process of recording an album. No one expected this to happen but it did. The Cannanes at the time were: Stephen O’Neil, Andy Coffey and Frances Gibson

Recorded in the living room at 55 Ashmore Street (Erskineville,Sydney, Australia) with very cheap microphones on a Macintosh 7300/180 with a 16 Bit soundcard

All songs written by the Cannanes with Steward

Produced by Andy, Sir Hairs & Steward

Mastered by Greg Wadley in Melbourne August 2000

(This digital edition has been produced from Greg’s original masters re-discovered in late 2014 in our archives)

Special thanks to Megan Spencer who in 2014 inspired us to get our act together and find the original master

Thanks also to Dave Heaton, Greil Marcus, Pat Maley and Richard Vogt

Previously released (with different mastering) in the year 2000 on CD by Yoyo Recordings of Olympia USA and on 12” (Picture Disc) Vinyl by 555 Recordings of Leeds UK
