Self-Titled (the legs EP)

The Legs was the first eponymous release by Fred Rechid, under his only musical alias, The Legs. He had often referred to it as a mistake.
== Recording ==
Fred re-recorded the demos almost exactly to their original form, except Artificial, which wasn't included on the demo tape. Fred had been allowed to test an unstable version of ProTools, which he never used again, as he believed it took away from the magic of making music.
Fred mixed the album and waited three whole weeks for the thing to render. He considered those three weeks of his life some of his worst.
=== Release and Reception ===
Fugu Blubblerfish from AllMusic gave the album four stars twenty years after it was released. It's considered a cult classic.
== Difference in sound ==
Apart from Artificial, which was recorded later and the Beatles cover, which had an ethereal and spacey sound. the EP had a grungy sound that was quite ahead of its time, considering the scene didn't even come about the land until 1991 and wasn't in the sea until 1990, a year after Fred died. The album was also rather unpolished, despite being the only one recorded on an actual recording software. Because of a rendering error, it came out quite grainy, but Fred liked the sound and decided to keep it. (Liked = not wanting to wait another grueling three weeks for the rendering to finish.)
== Tracklist ==
# Artificial 10:32
# Fisherman's Hook 3:21
# A Day In The Life (Beatles Cover) 15:02
# Close the book 2:01
# Do you wonder what it's like to be Robin Hood 4:00
Length : 34:56
=== Fred's opinions ===
Fred HATED the final track, even though it's a fan favorite. He just saw it as fuzz and grain, despite it being a heavily layered, short prog track
