Along with the core trio that makes up Oxygene8, Freak Of Chance also features guest performances by several renowned musicians such as bass legend Tony Levin from King Crimson, Peter Gabriel and the Tony Levin Band. "When Steve Parrish and I began to record the song 'Close Your Eyes' I had this gut feeling that it was Tony Levin that needed to be on that track," Linda explains. "I just listened to my intuition and asked Tony if he had the time to do it and he graciously responded."
Tim Alexander, drummer for Primus and Attention Deficit, also appears on Freak Of Chance. "I played bass and Tim played drums in a band called Major Lingo from Jerome, Arizona," relates Linda. "We all relocated as a band from Arizona to the Bay Area in California, where Tim's drumming immediately caught the attention of incredible bassist, Les Claypool from Primus. Tim and I continued to communicate and collaborate all through his years with Primus - he is like family to me." Guillermo Cides, celebrated Argentinean Stick player and guitarist Federico Miranda from Costa Rican bands Gandhi and the Baula Project, also join Oxygene8 on the new album and have performed with O8 in live concerts.
