The Last Man to Fly is the Tear Garden's second full release, released five years after the first. A single titled "Romulus and Venus" was released and well received by critics. The Last Man to Fly was the first release that integrated a live band. The songs were mostly improvised and edited while playing live in the studio during August of 1991. cEvin Key's bandmate D. Rudolph Goettel from Skinny Puppy became a permanent member of The 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, as the previous releases were. Accompanying this release was their second EP, Sheila Liked the Rodeo, which was mostly recorded playing live in a single night. The album was the product of several recording sessions. Ka-Spel describes the recording process and album as an amazing oasis in a troublesome sea. At the very start of the recording process at Mushroom Studios in Vancouver they went out for Indian food. After the meal, some of the band members ended up at a performance by Daevid Allen in a small gallery with 30 or 40 people in attendance.
