Just curious, but I was wondering if the musicians on this were ever credited? My gut tells me Alain or Duke are the instrumentalists on this release, but who knows. Maybe this was the first real release of Mark and Duke and was recorded during Black Pudding...just guessing though! I've got a copy of the vinyl, but it states pretty much nothing about the musicians involved.

So...does anyone know who plays the instruments on these songs?

This Xmas album was recorded with Alain Johannes at his place in LA I don't think anyone else played on the record (source: Aldo Struyf).

Anyway more info are welcome.

I long for the days of disorder. I want them back, the days when I was alive on the earth, rippling in the quick of my skin, heedless and real. I was dumb-muscled and angry and real. This is what I long for, the breach of peace, the days of disarray when I walked real streets and did things slap-bang and felt angry and ready all the time, a danger to others and a distant mystery to myself

It's Alain.

Not meaning to hijack the thread but pin964 mentioned Aldo Struyf. This made me think of Millionaire. What a fantastic band that was. Anyone have any clue what the hell happened to them? I know about Creature with the atom brain but it seems as though Tim Vanhamel has fallen off the face of the Earth. Last I heard was he was writing a new Millionaire album but that was 2008 and no news since then.
