Earlier in 1996, Dombrovski's TOXIC STUDIOS in Stanton, DELAWARE, U.S.A., was where the preproduction recording of two songs appearing on RARE FORM's self-titled debut album took place, both songs written by RARE FORM's lead vocalist and guitarist Bill McCracken. "Matthew's Song" was recorded in April 1996 and "Found By Each Other," written in celebration of McCracken's upcoming marriage, was recorded in August 1996.
DOMBROVSKI: I began rehearsing with RARE FORM as drummer on February 6, 1996, and on April 4, 1996, while that was happening, Bill McCracken and Tim Sands recorded the Bill McCracken original "Matthew's Song," which doesn't have drums. "Matthew's Song" was finished on April 8, 1996. On April 13, 1996, I told Bill McCracken I was quitting RARE FORM because I had too many other projects going on, and I didn't want to spread myself too thin. Also, I knew I was eventually leaving DELAWARE, U.S.A., to return to Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A. I think there may have been some anger and disappointment on RARE FORM's part initially, but not so much RARE FORM couldn't work in my TOXIC STUDIOS again.
DOMBROVSKI: On August 3, 1996, I remember hanging out at a club in Wilmington, DELAWARE, U.S.A., named The Big Kahuna. Tim Sands, Tim's girlfriend, Bill McCracken, Bill's fiancee, and I were waiting to see Hall & Oates. It was very crowded, so I split the scene, but on August 21, 1996, Tim and Bill came over to my TOXIC STUDIOS to record the Bill McCracken original "Found by Each Other." This song was recorded for Bill's upcoming wedding. Tim and Bill finished recording and mixing the song that night. I didn't go to Bill's wedding, but I remember Bill telling me later that the "Found by Each Other" recording was played at the wedding, and Bill said it was very, very cool.
DOMBROVSKI: I'm not sure if RARE FORM is using the versions of "Matthew's Song" and "Found By Each Other" cut at my TOXIC STUDIOS on their self-titled debut CD or if they re-recorded those tracks for that CD.
