Gamboge (noun; pronounced gam-bohj or gam-boozh): a gum resin from the various trees of the genus Garcinia; used as a partially transparent, dark mustard-yellow pigment and as a cathartic. Similarly, this album is to act as a cathartic for its listeners. Most often, gamboge is extracted by tapping resin from Garcinia trees; however, the trees must be at least ten years old before they are tapped. Much like the resin, the songs on this album have required many years of work, toil, and tapping in order for them to get to a place ready for public release. People with gamboge auras are believed to altruistically direct their talents toward unselfish purposes, just as the lyrics of this album would encourage.
