Limited white eco-vinyl LP pressing in die-cut jacket. This solo performance was recorded on May 19, 2019 in the Waiting Hall of Los Angeles' Union Station. The album features 6 tracks, blending Gendel's alto saxophone with his early poly-sax effect and a Suzuki Waraku III synthesizer. Notably, during "Cosmic Love, " the train announcer reads a passage from George Carlin's book 'When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops?' adding a unique auditory element to the piece.
- This is a solo performance by SG, recorded May 19, 2019, in the Waiting Hall of Union Station in Los Angeles.
- Instruments used include alto saxophone with an early version of his poly-sax effect, along with a Suzuki Waraku III synthesizer.
- In "Cosmic Love", at 04:27, you can hear the train announcer reading the preface to the book When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops? by George Carlin: "I'm an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside. My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."
- Moments before going on stage SG asked if the train announcer would read this at any point during his set over the intercom system, and somehow they agreed. No one knew when they would read it, so it is easy to miss.
- "Miss U Sonny" is dedicated to the memory of Sonny Abegaze.
