He has some serious musician friends playing on it. He recorded it himself, in his living room/rehearsal room. He did the basic tracks on the 388, then bounced them to an 002R/AI-3 combo then mixed it OTB to a small Auditronics console and back to the 002R, IIRC.

I wasn't a big fan of the music initially, but I can appreciate it for what it is and how it sounds. Definitely a very professional-sounding recording that happened to be done on a 388.
indeed, it sounds very nice. when i had mine i remember thinking i heard lots of air, but it was not air per se, it was more like dust. and this is something i hear on most 388 recordings, even on this one that wasn't mixed on it (i always associated that sound to the mixer section as well, probably wrongly so). very neat.

i really miss that machine.
