On the heels of our 1995 EP, Straight Six, we set out to change course once again and record an album unlike anything we’d done previously. We wanted something a bit darker, moodier, and with higher production value. The resulting album – A Picture of the Eighth Wonder – arguably became our magnum opus. Now thirty years later, we’re excited to re-release the most pivotal album of our career onto the most fitting format for the material – vinyl.
Here’s where you come in.
Every part of this campaign requires a collective effort. The goal is (and has always been) the highest quality product that we can put out. The best source material, the best mastering work, and the highest quality recordings that we can release. If we can’t make it the very best, then we’d prefer not to do it at all.
But we can and we will – with your help.
So, please look through the campaign items, choose the ones that speak to you the most, and proceed with the checkout. In anticipation of a successful campaign, we’ve already begun the process of mixing, artwork prep, and working with vendors. The plan is to get the album off to manufacturing before the campaign even concludes! Fingers-crossed.
What do we get?
We decided early on that we wanted to go back to the source recordings – the 2” reels themselves – and remix the album all over again. This isn’t about “fixing what was broken” – the goal is to remix as near to the 1996 version as possible – but rather to improve upon the original sonically, with greater energy, and to release those mixes onto high-resolution streaming, CD, and, of course, 180g premium vinyl. The result will be the best-sounding version of “A Picture of the Eighth Wonder” that we’ve ever had – and every order for the 8th Wonder CD or Vinyl will also receive a digital, downloadable copy of the album as well.

But wait… there’s more!
We are also giving everyone who orders the CD or Vinyl a digital, downloadable copy of the yet unreleased “live” audio from our Seattle show in September 2025. Aptly named “At The Showbox”, our complete Seattle set has been mixed and mastered for wide-release, but campaign backers who have purchased a CD or Vinyl will get the download first. How cool is that?

Is there a stretch goal?
Absolutely. If we reach the $24,000 stretch goal, all backers who have purchased the 8th Wonder on CD or Vinyl will receive the “At The Showbox” album on CD and digital! Awesome.
