"Excerpts of an interwiew with AL SIMONESmade by Klemen Breznikar / 2015 / psychedelicbabymag.com ":

Who were members of The band , when You started To record your First Album Corridor of Dreams? I heard that most of The stuff is played by You ??

YES,, FOR The most part I Recorded that album alone., there was no band . The song "Shot Down" was A finished track, but I thought it might do well with some drums. I called A guy that I had recently been introduced To To add A drum track. While I had A sense that he wasn't much into The song., he was kind enough To do it FOR me. I only had One Open OnThe tape., so The drums were Recorded A single mic sitting OnA pile of unfinished laundry there in HIS basement., and then simply added at A low level in The mix. Some months later I invited him To A A bass player I knew (Chris Bell). It was A one-off session which I Recorded . From that recording came The " PURPLE ToThe "Corridor of Dreams "album. The rest of The album I performed alone.

Where was The "Corridor of lpRecorded ? How Long did The sessions last? Would You share some recollections From The sessions? How pleased were You with The finished product?

Most of The of Dreams "album was Recorded in an apartment I was renting just outside of Columbiana, Ohio. Actually it was an old two-story HOUSE converted into Two separate dwellings, both with their separate entrances. I lived in The upstairs half, with A ofThe back lawn and The nice rural wooded area out past The lawn. Just The sort of A person could could have A small garden should they be inclined.

My former wife was working at A nearby ice cream shop. So while she was gone serving ice cream cones, I would set up The gear in The ROOM and do my recordings there. It was really The only Time Without noises, and distractions. I would work about 4 To 6 hour sessions at A Time , The Time passed so quickly while immersed in making those recordings. Hearing each song come To LIFE ., One, by One was quite A joy.

By 1991, we finally bought The HOUSE where I'm currently living. It's an old farm HOUSE that is even more rural than The apartment was. FOR me., The ideal situation. I could never Live in The city, or even in town where I would be side-by-side with many other houses. As it is now I Can have A The late evening anytime I like., and have done just that On many occasions. It's here were The last couple of RecordedFOR "Corridor of Dreams "., and where The jacket Art was designed, and assembled individually by hand.

?

Would You suggest Corridor of A conceptual album?

I haven't used that term To describe it previously, but I would agree with such an assessment. My previous answer is pretty much in line with that view as well. In fact think that many of The On during APsychedelic experience could be described as conceptual if an attempt To describe, or understand them was made in The usual state of consciousness. It's my view that The album isn't really something You The melodies From ,, while You at your job making toothpicks out of logs. It certainly hasn't conformed To A standard formula. I think A professional MUSIC of it as ATrain wreck. I understand that The unusual structure and lack of The average MUSIC listener., but then I guess this MUSIC isn't intended FOR The average listener. While I do very much like nicely arranged catchy rock songs., I think that spiritually it keeps The listener earthbound, which is just fine. When recording this MUSIC however, I hoped To The listener To escape, and explore other dimensions.

Would You share your insight On The albums' tracks?

?

"Peakin"
Among Friends I'd known in The 1970s here in Ohio.,"peakin" was The word used To The "apex" ofThe psilocybin MUSHROOM experience. I thought if One Sound ,, it might Sound like this track.

?

"Colors"
A virgin Mind about To OnAPsychedelic maiden voyage.

?

"Look at LIFE "
Thoughts and considerations in regards To our human existence.

?

" PURPLE Jam"
This was an out-take of One ofThe early jam sessions held in my FirstHOUSE after moving out of an apartment. Quite flawed., but it has A few moments.

?

"Shot Down"
Every once in A while we find ourselves at A LIFE , Sadly, there are those., FOR whatever reason, who want bring You down. In some cases it was somebody whom You had mistaken FOR A Friend ,

?

" WIZARD of Time "
A sonic adventure through Time and SPACE ., via by chance meeting with A supernatural being who has great wisdom and insight To FORA more than willing adventurous apprentice.

?

"Sinsemilla Morning "
With fresh seedless bud On hand, and The To myself OnA beautiful sunny SundayMorning ,, The proper state of Mind was achieved. With guitar in hand and fresh tape On The The spontaneous result. It was conceived, Recorded and mixed The SameDay ,, and of course appropriately titled.

?

"Fantasy girl"
An expression of The of being in LOVE , and appreciating One 's good fortune.
