More than ten rolls of tape are neatly arranged on his desk, while papers illustrating the effects of various printing techniques are posted on the walls. Lau’s cat sat quietly next to a pile...

The album was produced by Valory and co-produced by Night Ranger‘s Eric Levy and Jacob Stowe, with musical contributions from former bandmate Steve Smith, Greg Errico of Sly and the Family Stone, current members of Santana, Neal Schon‘s son Miles, and Tubes co-founder Prairie P...
