Working with Mark Isham is how the three got to know each other.
Polytown was a bit of a reunion, though Torn had been doing some
work with Mick Karn before that for CMP.  (Mick also was Torn's
original choice for Cloud About Mercury, if i recall, and Mick
played on that tour.)

I worked on the Polytown record back in 1993 as the teaboy.  20
days of pure bliss--all composed, recorded, and mixed in under
three weeks.  That's when David Torn taught me how to loop
(with a PCM 42).  During the sessions Jon Durant--who was working
for Lexicon at the time--showed up with this new-fangled thing
David had consulted on, hot off the assembly line: it was called
the Jamman.

Good times.

Peter
