It's only a month to go now until we hit the studio again to begin recording the follow up to "Wings of Forever". We'll be bringing you some snippets of info over the next couple of weeks about what you can expect in terms of songs, guest appearances (!), artwork etc

Working title for the new album is.......NEVERWORLD!

Bit of an update

Andre is flying in on June 9th and will join Steve S and myself in the studio on June 10th to setup the drums and run through any issues there are before we hit the record button on June 11th.

 

[Symphony]

One week left before the hard work starts.....

 

[Ayeka]

Take it we won't be seing much of you on the forum while your working hard?

 

[Symphony]

I'll be around dude.....especially on weekends. That's when I'll try and keep everybody up to speed

 

[WeekendWarrior]

That's great Steve. Keep us updated no matter what!
Good luck with the recordings when the time comes

NP: Morrowind theme

 

[Symphony]

A bit more news on the "guest appearance" situation. It's looking pretty certain that we'll be lucky enough to feature a vocal performance from a certain European female vocalist on one or two tracks!

 

[Symphony]

Tomorrow is the day....we'll be heading off to Thin Ice in the morning to get the drums setup and run through any issues there are to be dealt with before Wednesday.

Andre is laying down the drum tracks on his great yellow drum kit
see www.yellowdrums.de for his gear

he also has bought the lastest double kick pedal from mapex very fast very smooth

we have recorded 5 of the tracks so far and just the raw mix even sounds great

Andre is doing most tracks in single takes which has been great for the schedule

The guide keys are also going down,we are on a G4 with Pro Tools a full TDM

more news soon

 

[Symphony]

Just to re-iterate what MR Looseunit said...number of tracks done is now 6 including a mammoth eleven and a half minute epic. i suspect another track will be completed by the end of today which leaves another 3 to complete on Monday and Tuesday.

Guide keyboard tracks and some initial orchestration work has been done using a Korg Triton Pro and a Korg 01W.

 

[Ayeka]

Most.................triumphant.................................

 

[WeekendWarrior]

Seems to be good progress going on..
Can't wait to hear the new songs! Especially the long epic! Can't wait ! !
Hopefully it's not to long before we can start counting the days till the release of 'Neverworld'!

NP: SoulSource - Track 1 (??)

 

[WeekendWarrior]

BTW, will a PQ version of "supersticious" be included on the new album?.. it would be really cool, although I know the album will be a masterpiece anyway

NP: Galloglass - Remember the Fire

 

[Symphony]

I don't think we will have enough time to record a version of "Superstitious" for the album unfortunately guys

 

[Ayeka]

Superstitious?
