It's been a good few months since I started recording this album I know but at last the finishing line is in view. The album itself has been recorded in full with just the mixing left to do...well with just the mixing, artwork, video's etc left to do! Thanks to those who have waited patiently and to those who didn't...please come back!! I have to say I sulked like a kid in the back of the car when I had to leave LA. I never thought I would say that but it turns out LA is a pretty amazing place. Yes they like yolk free omlettes, cow free milk and for some reason lots of cinnamon but I like 'em. Getting back to the album, we managed to record 16 songs in total of which all I'm dead happy with. In the second stage of recording Josh Klingoffer ( sorry Josh I will find out how to spell your name some day) who plays with PJ Harvey came to the studio for a few days and put down some killer guitar. Around the same time we managed to get Zac Rae who at the moment plays with Alanis Morrisette to play some rhodes, many variety of keyboards, bells, whistles etc. The cherry on the cake came in the form of Lisa Germano who dropped in to play violin on a couple of tracks. We had Robert Caranza engineer the second phase of recordings. All these people were bloody great, the whole experience, although a lot of time consuming hard work, was bloody great. We even managed to record in Cello Studio's ( Pet Sounds being just one of many amazing albums recorded there) just before it was closed down. Actually I would love to find out if we were the last session or not. So there you have it, the second album is soon to be placed in the lap of the gods but I gotta say it's wonderful to finish an album at all. For a while there I thought I would never write again. Oh by the way I haven't got a title yet so suggestion's are welcome. Ye will have to hear some tracks of course so I'll set that up with 'a god send' Laura. All the best Gemma x - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.
