hot dog! The new material is materializing. I have 8 tunes ready for tracking for the rest of the group and am working on several others. Rich began tracking last weekend and we spent quite a bit of time hashing over the sound. We're really trying to combine the retro-pop feel we're known for with sounds you haven't heard before or wouldn't think typical. Know what I mean? All in all, I am quite excited by the sound. We have decided to use the new tools we have to re-hash a couple of the old ones that we really wished at the time could sound bigger, and since the first album was a little light in the production dept (mainly due to financial restraints) we can now beef them up and make them sound the way we wish they always did and we are going to include them on this album. Anyone wishing to know what I am using in the control room feel free to drop me a note and I'll make ya jealous as hell.
