Release date: October 21, 1997

09 Single - Ginkgo Biloba

Tracks
1. Ginkgo Biloba (album version)
2. Little Germany
3. Ginkgo Biloba (instrumental)

Song History
This was the first single from the 1997 Mune Mud album Sleep State F.

And then Jason was interested in herbs and herbal remedies. One aspect that interested him in particular was memory. And Ginkgo Biloba supposedly has medicinal properties to improve memory. So this song is a story about someone connecting with their Ancient Chinese past through herbal means.

Track Breakdown
The first track is the version that appeared on the album.

The second track was recorded during the Sleep State F sessions but was not included on the final album. It's a peppy, up-tempo song about Jason's German grandma. The song is full of family inside jokes and is fun to listen to.

The third track is the instrumental version of the album track.
