Saturday - Another Overview session

So we are having a listening session to the body of work so far. Andy and Vince are finalising lyrical tweaks, and we are checking out the overall impact of the tracks. A couple of tracks need to be tried faster, and the final arrangement is of course still being worked on. Andy and I resolve to finalise tempos early in the session next week.Some beats will be changed too (bring back some more four on the floor!). Also I will be honing quite a few of the drum sounds (shorter envelopes on snares). We are thinking of a sticker on the album "Warning - pure electronic". And after a long period of referring to the songs by numbers we are moving over to referring to the songs by name, so Andy is sharing his (working) titles with us. Excellent. Today is our last day in Falmouth. Andy and I are off to London tomorrow, where we will continue working and Vince will be communicating with us via the man-made miracle that is the Internet.

Dear Gareth, Andy and Vince,

Thank you very much for this great diary incl. photos and videos of the Falmouth-Session. Even if the filming won't be part of a DVD, it is a privilege for your fans to be able to read, listen and hear about your work. By the way, will this diary be continued?
I hope that all of you are doing fine.

Best regards,
Michael

P.S.: As always, I'm dying to have this new album in my collection and I' sure it will be marvellous!
