Derek's comments:

This is the second Platypus CD. This was a weird CD to make because I was freshly fired from Dream Theater, and I had to go work with John Myung. Again this was recorded at Millbrook Sound.

I remember that while we were in the writing stage at Rod's house in Long Island, I was staying with my old friend Al Pitrelli, who lives near by. One night, Rod, Al and I hung out at Al's house and had a great time laughing hysterically- I was excited about winning the Metal Edge keyboardist of the year award, and Al said, " Congratulations, now you can join Tommy Lee, and Eddie Van Halen for that prestigious award!" HA HA HA.

I did all my keyboards at the Leopard Room with Ty Tabor engineering.

My highlight is :"The "Yoko Quintology." - Actually the correct term is, "Pentology," but I prefer quintology.

I recently ripped a CD of only the instrumental songs on both Platypus CD's.

Fast facts:

* I have seen no royalty, or publishing money for this release....
