The tunes on the album were conceived and arranged on the band's native Isle of Skye and were demoed in keyboardist Nurudin's house on Cabana's Roland VS880 and a small Mac. Ben used his Roland VS1680 to record the majority of his parts in his Edinburgh cottage. Recording of the album took place at three Scottish studios; Lealt Falls in the band's native Isle of Skye, Apollo Recording in Glasgow and Mortonhall Cottage in Edinburgh. "Get Your Frets Off" was recorded in all three studios before, according to the liner notes, the band "sacked everything except the toilet and rebuilt it" for the listener's pleasure. "Cameronian Rant" was remixed in Abbey Road Studios, which also led to the "Beatles reverb" on the track.
