By this time, "techno" had happened, and we all thought "Finally! We can be our own electronic selves and no one will criticize us for not playing guitars." It wasn't much of a switch for us. We just indulged ourselves a little bit more in synth-sample noodling than we had been.
We started recording in 02/92, and finished in 06/92. The album came out in 10/92, and we began touring for it that month. We made a video for the song "Peace & Love, Inc." in 09/92, which was never played on MTV. Since I think it's a fairly good vido, I included the entire thing in .avi format on the Data CD of "Don't Be Afraid", and a short clip of it here. (5.4 Megs)

Mike was a long-time Synclavier owner, so the 6 songs we did with him were all recorded on the Synclavier. It sucked. Never buy into cutting edge equipment. 5 years later, you'll be able to buy something that does what your $250,000 thing does for $5000, and it will have some unforseen innovation that cannot be added to the thing you bought. For example: Mike's Synclavier was basically an early direct-to-disc multi-track recorder. But it had no digital outs.
The other pieces were recorded in the more conventional 2-inch 24-track tape method, but by now, ADAT's were becoming ubiquitous, and they were used for some of the work.
