Was the approach of the recording (_ISM) similar to the sessions for RTC ? I sense a continuity there and think _ISM is on a par and musically more interesting.

It wasn’t too dissimilar in that we improvised ideas together until we hit upon something that we felt showed promise. We started the project in a residential studio too, as with RTC, and were similarly isolated from civilisation for a number of weeks, although for nothing like as long. A significant budgetary difference though, RTC cost a quarter of a million and still wasn’t enough. _ISM cost  a mere fraction of that.
