The second set of Trad Arr recordings were marked by the arrival of former Slow Invasion guitarist Paul Gillings. Gillings was originally brought into the fold on a temporary basis but soon became involved the creative process. He was particularly impressed by Trad Arr's ability to switch between styles of music, which normally occurred within of single lines of songs.

Standout tracks are the live favourite 'Feel Good?' a song about alien urbanation and the haunting 'Doctor Of Sorts', a song about bad taste. Also check out the cover version of the Jimi Hendrix song 'Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)' which was supposedly the road that Jimi was going down before his tragic death. Trad Arr thoughtfully show Jimi where that tragic road would have lead him if he hadn't tragically been picked up by the vomit van whilst hitchhiking down Death Avenue. Other deaths of the period, such as Jim Morrison of The Doors and Janis Joplin, were on reflection deemed to be not so tragic so Trad Arr didn't cover any of their songs.

'Dreamtown' is a like timeless clock.
