"The Last Man to Fly" is The Tear Garden's second full release, released 5 years after the first.

This time cEvin's band mate D. Rudolph Goettel from Skinny Puppy became a permanent member of Tear Garden. Also joining the band were The Silverman, Ryan Moore, and Martijn de Kleer from Edward Ka-Spel's own The Legendary Pink Dots; expanding the band from simply being an Edward and cEvin duo (with guests), as the previous release was.

Accompanying this release is their second EP, Sheila Liked The Rodeo.

Misc

"Isis Veiled" is quite frequently played at the end of live performances by The Legendary Pink Dots, sometimes in a slightly different or upgraded version.

The tune played by the "toys" at the end of "Last Post" is mimmicking the opening notes of 'You And Me And Rainbows' from their Tired Eyes Slowly Burning album.

"Empathy With The Devil" is a segment from a long jam session by the band referred to as 'The Empathy Session', more information (including how to properly order this and other segments) is available at http://home.earthlink.net/~coreygoldberg/tg/empathysession.htm
