saw them live a couple times. Tim Lefebvre (Wayne Krantz's bassist) on bass and Zack Danziger on drums. And some European dude, I believe, did all the other crazy production/FX work. For the album I'm sure danziger did a lot of the drum programming/processing of real drums.
Anyways the producer dude used a laptop live, and kind of massaged/played his laptop mouse pad. Cool FX, but nothing like the record. He didn't exactly stand out next to the incredible playing that was going on. Don't remember what the software was, this was years ago.
Uri Caine is incredible, but honestly, its not really even his project, and I noticed this when I saw them live. They just used his name because its the most well known. Live, he just played a moogish soft-synth, while most of the sound came from the other guys. The drum and bass/breakbeat sound is mostly Tim Lefebvre and Zack Danziger, who've have both played in drum n bass outfits back in the day. And even the game-show quirky sounding tunes are more like Boomish, another Lefebvre project, even though they feature Uri's playing.
I could be way off tho...
Anyways, the album is really cool, but completely all over the place.
