This is a pair of tracks that me and my colleagues at Unthinkable Consulting just made for Matthew Shorter's 40th birthday. Matthew's role in this is slightly odd in that he didn't know he was contributing to the tracks at all. I made one track, the apostrophe one, mashing together two sessions of recording from Matthew; one keyboard, one Bassoon! Simon took Matthew's keyboard improvising for another track and slung in some extra guitar improvisation on top.

Anyhow we had a great night at your 40th Matthew, and I for one am very pleased to have been verbally abused by you all those years ago. It certainly changed my life for the better.

Can you guess why it is called XL?
