Beautiful Drive






The drive down to Boston was a goodbye to New England, and I took some pics of the trees along the way. Beauty all around.

Team Photo



Joe's family finally visited the studio and Tammy took a group photo.

Thick and Fast

Even at the end of the session the jokes kept coming

Last Words from Falmouth

We are back in the UK now, I am slowly getting over my jet lag, and sorting through my camera. Here is a short Video with some final words from the band in Falmouth.

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.

Joe Brien Filming

Joe has been a brilliant help setting up the session to start with, keeping us running and filming in the studio. He has shot over 9 hours of Video, which will be edited and hopefully used later as part of a DVD or something.
