Often the band is asked what happened in 2007. It's not uncommon for a band to take a year or more off in between records. With AoF the amount of musical output and pure deeceness that was pouring out suddenly came to end near the end of 2006. The fans were astonished and disappointed. Some even contemplated burning their music collections aka iPods.
Rumors of all kinds surfaced: The had broke up, Hollow Cheek grew a beard and moved to Sweden, M.Levels left and started his own band, Life Size Animals, they quite to pursue acting careers, etc. The list goes on and on. After spending six months on the road with these cats and seeing them perform zero shows and record no music I knew something was up. When I finally got up enough courage to ask what happened, the tour van screeched to a halt. They looked at each other. Hollow Cheek shook his head yes and M.Levels reached into the glove box. He looked me dead in the eye and handed me a cassette and said, "here you go. this should answer all your questions."
Best I can figure, this is the recording (link below) that single handedly broke the band up and got them back together.

the melody sounds like a Nine Inch Nails song......
you have no imagination, no vision, no brains.
this is perhaps the greatest band of our life time.
