He'd be my first choice (if there was a vocalist) for the project with Webster and Adler, but both guys would prefer all instrumental. I wouldn't mind if the CD was all instrumental, all songs with vocals, or mostly instrumental with just a few vocal tracks. We're planning on having a very concept minded release, but no vocals/lyrics. However, if Dev were to be interested, I'd have a talk with Alex and Chris and see if I could push for a few vocal tracks. But right now, we're all on the same page, and that's with no vocals at all.
I think with the release of the first Spastic Ink CD and "Solitarily Speaking..." and "PHHHP!" I've pretty much got an instrumental tag happening, and I don't mind it at all. For some wacky reason, "Ink Compatible" made #2 on the PM board for best 2004 instrumental, even with 6 vocal tracks! I don't get it, but it just seems that unless I'm doing a CD with WatchTower, I'm viewed as an instrumental artist. And again, that's OK with me...
