Collector's Corner #5

Track #7 on Mune Mud's 1996 Equation of Time album was called "Essence of Pearl". Where did that name come from?

Collector's Corner 05

In February of 1996 Jason noticed the soap in the lunch room at work was smelling much nicer than it normally did. So after a while of using it, he looked at the soap dispenser... the Essence of Pearl. That would be the perfect title for a song! He had recorded some music the previous month that still needed lyrics and a title. So he titled the song and wrote the lyrics, even though the song has nothing to do with lotion soap. But that is where the name of the song came from.

The empty dispenser now resides in the Personal Hygiene wing of the Metal XOR Studio Museum.
