'Time's Up' is an all percussion based record. The idea was to make single length songs (3-4mins more or less) out of nothing but drum and percussion instruments, hopefully providing "hooks" not normally associated with such music. Explains Blake Fleming: "It's part Bboy percussion throwdown, This Heat homage, Hybrid African, Afro-beat and myself."
The album was recorded using a two input Mbox and a Fostex cassette 4-track. The most expensive microphone used was the Audio-Technica Pro 37. Recorded in the basement of a 150 yr. old church in the Catskill Mountains.
