In 1980, Glenn released an EP titled ''Lesson 1'', which was a sneak peek of things to come for him since he embarked on a journey to make an LP version of said EP. So sometime after that, he recruited four electric guitarists (Neil Sublette, David Rosenbloom, Lee Ranaldo + himself), a bassist (Jeffrey Glenn), and a drummer (Stephan Wischerth), to form The Ascension Band. Also, since the bass guitarist knew some engineers and owners of a recording studio (The Power Station), they were able to use it to little to no cost.
