Recording

After working with producer Nick Raskulinecz on their previous two albums, Another State of Grace was produced by Jay Ruston, who had mixed the previous two albums. Gorham welcomed Ruston as producer: "It was the best decision we’ve ever made as a band... You know he’s pushing you, but he does it in such a way that you really don’t mind and you want to play better for him."[3]

Personnel
gollark: I do prefer nim use over rust now, not because I care about it being smaller but because it feels like a nicer language for my arbitrary purposes.
gollark: I love how minoteaur's very restrictive content security policy causes four warnings on every page load because of extensions unsafely injecting JS into the page.
gollark: You use the "up arrow" button to put the last line into your input prompt thing, and then press "home" to navigate to the start of that line.
gollark: Nope, they suggest you just use up arrow and home.
gollark: Or it just put desktop files there.
