Notes:

Recording with The Sheep Fiends increasingly made up the bulk of my musical
output as my free time turned to other endeavours.  A sick fascination with
the stock market ensued, and an emotional obsession was fostered by way of
the rise and collapse of Wall Street.  I must forever live with the
knowledge that at an April 2000 Sheep Fiend jam, I warned through song that
"The Nasdaq is gonna crash" - while in rela life I kept my tech stocks and 
took a beating.

My former role as multi-instrumentalists in the Sheep Fiends became mutated,
as I slowly transformed into one of the main vocal presences in the band.  My
unique improvisational take on reality and what should be done about it meshed
well with the more folk and hippie elements typical of the Fiends lyrics.  A
few of the band members began making edited CDs of our rehearsals, and the
Sheep Fiends' archiving ritual was stepped up a level.

I purchased a digital 8-track recorder which saw little use - "Vikings (part
3)" and "The Skyway" being the only recorded output to date.  I also played
around with sample manipulation using my PC, and participated in a few left
field collaborations.

Anisa and I kept quite busy during this period, our primary activities being
the creation of the "Vortex of Skrochocracy" website, and making 
preparations to buy a house and finally ditch the dirty city...
