Shawn Phillips is one of most fascinating and enigmatic musicians to come out of the early '70s singer-songwriter boom. Infinity was recorded in 1989 using the Infinity Device. It was an innovative experiment, but the album remained unreleased until now.
The Infinity Device was a collection of pre MIDI Analog Synthesizers and drum modules modified to allow Shawn to perform alone yet sound like an entire band. Tracks 1-4 and 8 were recorded live with no overdubbing. Tracks 2-3-5 and 7 were performed live with additional parts played simultaneously by Elmo Peeler.
Each track was recorded in one take.
