Armageddon those good vibrations.

Quick note – ting! – to say that the demo/EP/album thing is getting increasingly nearly done… so close that I can smell it, at least I could if I could smell anything with my fucking nose…

We’ve managed to get 99% of the backing vocals, a couple of guitar things, a melodica solo, and an awful lot of banging pots and pans and crap like that to add ‘texture’. We’ve also (I think) nailed the lead vocals, but its always difficult to tell just how good they are until you’ve heard them all eleven billion times, until in fact you can hear the slightest fraction of a bum note on one refrain of one note of a song… and then you do it all again. Strangely, whilst those overdubs were done at Piscorp, the vibe for the sessions was exactly the same as was in Newcastle – cold, drunk, exhausting, with Mr. Piper passed out in the corner (only after working hard on his overdubs its fair to say). We’re now faced with the looming and slightly terrifying task of mixing, made more complicated by have alternate takes of things, each with different vibes which we may want to cut and paste around a track… phew! Not to worry – we’re actually well ahead of schedule (at least we would be if we had one), and we’re still dead excited about the stuff. Hand on heart, I’m really really looking forward to y’all hearing this!!

Now, all together, “Cyberman – and the living is easy…”
