What is with the high-octane flurry of noise in the middle of "Merry Go Bye Bye," and the fragmentary snippets of musique concrete debris throughout? Can you remember the band's reaction when Trey revealed his grafting-in of those elements to the piece--was it one of bewilderment or did you all just take it as it was?

MY ANSWER:

That was all Trey, concocting his wizardry at home then bringing it in piecemeal. We had no idea what we were recording with those little trio snippets to be later adorned and annihilated. Often taking it as it was with each other was our general modus operandi.
