"Since time immemorial, the drum has enjoyed a place of privilege in the rituals and daily lives of mankind. The combination of its structural simplicity and tactile immediacy make it one of the greatest and most communicative spiritual tools in history. The sound of one solitary man accompanying himself on a drum predates civilization by many millennia, and this tradition has continued in the modern arena, augmented by new arrangements of percussion instruments in the drum set and electronic devices.
Sexy Thoughts explores the use of the drum as a communication device in his solo performances as 'Sexy Thoughts'. In this profoundly spiritual music, Sexy Thoughts uses the aforementioned techniques to present music that communicates the fecundity of the earth and divinity of the heavens. Many human cultures have used similar music in various rites, and Sexy Thoughts' references to sexual vitality, altered consciousness and supernatural phenomena display a deep kinship with past cultures' practices. From the ancient Egyptians, to the Aztecs and Mayans to contemporary urban dance culture, trance-like states brought on by special herbs and fermented beverages intermingle with orgiastic dancing to the percussive sounds of the drum.
Call me @ my home # and I'll f**k you is yet another spiritual exploration by Sexy Thoughts, meandering through layer upon layer of subconscious material to expose the spiritual core of modern Western Society. Sexy Thoughts goes forth to forge in the smithy of his soul the spiritual unity of all beings."

Drums and spiritual observations by Sexy Thoughts.
Legend has it tracks 1-8 were recorded May 12, 2001 in Bushwick NYC by Adam Nanaa at Reversed Engineering. Track 9 was supposedly recorded sometime in 2005 in Williamsburg NYC by Emery Dobyns at Excello. Track 11 was supposedly recorded October 22, 2005 in Bushwick NYC by Lee at Fort Seriously. Sexy Thoughts supposedly played Yamaha Recording Custom birch drums on this album (14x6.5 snare, 8x8/10x8 toms, 14x10 floor, 18x14 kick) ... but honestly I have trouble believing any of that.
