Gaizse Music released its second album on December 31, 1996, after a marathon set of recording sessions that autumn in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  With a run time of twenty minutes and forty-four seconds, the album, entitled A Sneak E.P., was conceived of as a short anthology pulling together four tracks representing conventional genres from each of the Gaizsian Mythic Realms: The Dinosaurs, The Samsons, The Ertez, and The Myndgloid.  “Have You Pledged To The Legion?,” the album’s second track, is a traditional Salt Rock song apparently sung to promote loyalty to The Samsons’ Legion during its wasteful, deadly war with The Ertez.  Gaizse Music composed, recorded, and mixed “Have You Pledged To The Legion?” during November 1996 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The song includes electric guitars, bass guitar, sampling, programming, and backing vocals by Kerry d’Noit and drums, sampling, programming, and backing and lead vocals by Liam d’Noit.

Gaizse Music recorded hours of musical and sound source material during many home studio and field recording sessions from August-December 1997 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The October 20th “Ballad of Flapcast” recording session included Kerry d’Noit on guitar and Liam d’Noit on drums and was intended to create musical source material for a much larger sound piece “My Fucshia Flip-Flops://Ballad of Flapcast,” which Gaizse Music originally released in 1998 on the My Fucshia Flip-Flops Single and which will appear on Gaizse Music’s forthcoming release, Tales of The Banished & Elite.  This raw, live DAT recording (Take 4 from “Ballad of Flapcast” recording session) was not used by Gaizse Music as the base track for the song “Ballad of Flapcast” included in the larger sound piece, but it represents one of the earliest articulations of the song’s component sections.  In the end, Gaizse Music created the base track for “Ballad of Flapcast” by editing segments from two separate takes from the recording session.

In November 1996, Kerry d’Noit traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Savannah, Georgia, to work with Liam d’Noit on completing Gaizse Music’s second album A Sneak E.P. In addition to his acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, effects, and amplifier, Kerry carried with him several 4-Track audio cassettes containing pieces he had recorded and that the pair would finalize for the album.  One of the 4-Track cassettes contained an eleven minute, twenty-four second composition entitled “Dust In The Signal’s Crack Shadows Asunder,” which Gaizse Music released the following year on its third album, Cris Tobal’s Genealogy of Gaizse: Book One.  The conclusory movement of that larger composition, “Buttship Serenade” has always been such a favorite of Liam’s that he decided to make it available as a stand-alone work, for the first time, on G-Bon N’touk’s myndPod.  “Buttship Serenade (Digitally Remastered)” was composed, recorded, and includes samples and guitars by Kerry d’Noit and, in January 2009, was digitally remastered by Liam d’Noit.
