"May God Save Us From Religion" is a duet with Joseph Parsons, who co-wrote the song, too.
The same goes for Johnny Gioeli on "Mutants at the shopping-mall"
All the other songs were written by Ferdy Doernberg alone.
The drums were played by Mike Terrana, Alex Wenn and Ferdy's brother Curt. The basstracks were performed by Anke Sobek ( also double-bass ), Ecki Huedepohl and André Hort. Katja Krause sang harmony vocals on 3 tracks.
Ferdy sang and played everything else apart from one song "integrity" where Michael Hankel played electric guitars. Sabina Classen ( Holy Moses ) sang a duet on the same song with Ferdy.
Most of the album was recorded at Ferdy's studio ( the Droehnwerk ) at Bad Nenndorf and additional recordings were done in New York City and Hamburg.
The album is again a singer/songwriter-album with a lot of slide-guitar and many acoustic parts - but also has it..s "rock"-moments !
