You're not thinking fourth dimensionally!!

So I am super-happy with how the vocals are going...they sound dumb at the moment as there are doubles and harmonies all over the place, some loud, some quiet, some that will probably get cut during mixing, but we recorded them in case we change our minds.

Dan is still ill, but we have got a few days off while he has to go back to his day job so he'll be better when we start back up again on Tuesday (that's another reason why this album is taking so long, we all have jobs ya know!!!

Our camcorder is off being fixed but as soon as it's back I'll post some video journal entries up so you can check out what we're doing.

One of the things that you really need when recording is confidence in your ideas. Things can take a long time to come together...for example our song "Fireworks" is still missing the intro and the middle-8 (come on, you remember us talking about that on schools tour, right?) because we wanted to do something special with it. We deliberately left it out - and we have to believe that the idea will work to make it worth the risk.
I sent an email today for one of those ideas and if it comes together it will be one of my ambitions fulfilled.

I'll report back soon.

Max.
