Hey folks, spent 12 hours solid in a local studio with Claret Sky this week! It was very tiring, made me have even more respect for drummers like John Blackwell etc that do studio stuff all the time. I woke up the next day and could just about move my arms. Didnt help that we kept messing up on the drum and bass track. I think having to play that song at that speed 12 times is what really finished me off lol.

But it was an awesome experience recording drums in a proper studio, not just programming and recording everything else on my PC at home as I am used to lol. Trouble is Ive been getting late night since trying to finish the CD artwork and web site

Anyways, I would very much appreciate your critique. Mainly cos Ive missed it, its been ages since I had a decent recording to show you all.

Thanks

Lewis

It was a great moment, thank you.

Messing up? Maybe but it's some advanced stuff and very well done. This music is progressive and I love the female vocals.

Very cool direction you've gone into in your old age

Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks mate . Yeah it was some pretty hard work, would have been nice to have a click track for the odd time signatures. Most of the messing up was down to that. Ive played loads of odd stuff in the practise room but its a different world doing it with a band in a studio.

Hey Lewis, this style reminds me of the group called "Rush". Very syncopated and difficult music to rehearse and perform. Perfect name for the album because that is what it's going to take to play this stuff live. Good luck. I am impressed as usual.

You ever heard of a band called "KO"?

Thanks mate. You sure are right bout it being hard to rehearse and perform. Getting used to it as I go though

Cheers

Anyone else?

This is slicker than my palms at an early age when I discovered the baby oil under the bathroom sink!

Did I say that out loud?
