If I were to do this over I'd play a lot more shows before I made a record.

I got a publishing deal with BMG, they were supportive, and some money to record demos.

I privilege the music over the lyrics.

My first two records were more energetic; Phantom Moon is subtle, quiet; so these various reactions are just something I expected.

For my second record I had gotten ProTools (program) and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.

I try to make sure that the Buddhism is more or less implicit in the music rather than explicit.
