So what was the point of this little trip....your only just releasing Panic Moon....
The point was there was no point...it was an opportunity that arose for some recording in a studio that i wouldn't normally have access to. A question i get asked a lot at gigs is "Do you have any recordings that are like what you do live?". The answer is no...i don't, and Ive never been totally happy with the results of just myself and an acoustic guitar. So the idea was the set up mics and record live but with the added bonus of valve equipment and good A/D convertors, an SSL desk and lots of yummy outboard gear, whilst i could just concentrate on the job in hand.
There is Panic Moon material, and older material in there. 12 tracks spanning across the albums all live and acoustic..I havent even heard it yet! too tired ive only just got back in and had the nice'est bath ever. Who knows what ill do with them, but im sure they will see the light in some form or another.
Panic Moon is the priority and these acoustic versions could be another shade of how the songs were written for the album and were they originated.
It nearly didnt happen whilst we were out there! Some arrangement mis-understandings made me worry for a second there, but we pulled it round.
Ill have more on here tomorrow, but for now i need some sleep.
