Well, considering I was there for the tracking of WS, yes I certainly saw the settings. We messed around with loads of amps for days looking for the perfect sound, and ended up with the Soldano. As that album was recorded over 26 years ago though, I have no idea what the settings were at this point.

That's what we're talking about. But, you know, it's still a ways away. So, that's what we want. So it takes time between albums. So it's a big job.

There was a blending of a number of elements, one of which was an EKG at the end, right before the song BW kicks in. Actually, I don't have a copy of the album, so I can't double-check exactly how many elements were in it, but there were certainly a few. It's been years at this point, but I...

:Spin:

To be honest, the only thing I specifically remember (off the top of my head) is that that lovely vibey intro to BW was put together one very late night by my two assistants, Justin and Bobby. Killer job.

Not really any explanation, but I only work on music I like, so that way I'm always able to give 100% to everything. Music is not a job to me - it's a passion.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Sounds like some rank amateur had access to the tapes and then just cut them up at random. Sucks.

We spent two weeks working on the material and getting it tightened up and ready to go for the studio. I always prefer to work on one song each day if possible, and after all the initial changes have been made on that (and there were often quite a few tweaks) I'd record the latest updated...

I got some Saxon demos once, and the "songs" were all at least 8-9 minutes and completely shapeless - would have taken forever to turn them into songs, and they would have needed to be concise songs, not 6-7 minute meandering ones, so..

On RFO there was a lot of fat trimming / rearranging that went on - about five weeks worth in fact. Great fun!

To be fair, on all the Nevermore stuff I worked on, we spent several weeks "trimming the fat". It's a normal part of the pre-pro process, and nearly always has been in the 40+ years I've been making records. Still happens on every album I produce.

I'm available ;)

Glad you're enjoying it!

Nothing like pounding meaty canvases.
