Dig those crazy bongos! Here’s fascinating alternative assemblage of what would become Projekct X’s Heaven and Earth. The brainchild of Pat Mastelotto, Trey Gunn and engineer Bill Munyon, the working title for this track at this stage was Spy Kritters. Clearly it’s early days for this edit and it would be subjected to many hours of intensive tweaking and cutting in Nashville and Austin before it was ready. The final version was given its name by Fripp and was considered by many to be the stand-out track on 2000’s The ConstruKction of Light.

The added use of electronics & sampling (by Pat) I think would have been a new dimension & direction for KC to take at the time. Most people I know (including myself) liked the Project X cd better than TCOL. I think for that reason. It was KC but with a new "modern" twist.

A "new" version/phase of the band continuing its history of re-invention & progression. In any event this is one awesome piece of music!
