Stephen Tjaden, an Oberlin graduate with a degree in classical music, was previously known as the one-man acid-jazz band Groovilicious, releasing two CDs on New Breed in the mid-'90s and appearing on several compilations and film soundtracks. His engineering credits include work with Billy Idol, Al DiMeola and Kraftwerk, among others.
