"Ditty Blei" is Icelandic for "change my diaper". I had a blast recording this. The music is fairly complex; lots of counterpoint and odd meters. Several tunes are very much rock oriented. I can't believe I made a record with Herb Robertson. The disc actually contains 3 separate versions including multi/channel surround sound which is especially relevant when you know that Hilmar is deaf in one ear.
