BRAVE NEW WAVES SESSION:
- Don Pyle and Reid Diamond were interviewed about the album by Patti Schmidt for a Brave New Waves session. The interview was accompanied by what are described as recordings specifially for Brave New Waves, but they sound identical to the album versions. The interviews are combined below. Please note there were some dropouts in the recording, so the conversation will jump at a few points.
