But the songs are there and sounding good. I have one song that I need to arrange and then add guitar and vox though - we called it 3-2 due to its time signature and we never got the time to get it to a finished format so we recorded instead a number of different parts and I hope I can stitch a coherent structure

You know, when I was younger I was a selfish prick. Now I think I'm probably just a prick, but back in the day my mantra to any girlfriend went something like "...the band comes first - I need you to understand that.

The story here goes back to the 8th Feb 08 when we’d completed recording Grey-11. I think it was Stanier called the breakdown in the middle section, very “Rollins-esque”. Me, I thought it was more like TMOC, but I could see what he meant from the point of view that there is a drop away of the guitar and the bass and drums mute somewhat and play this driving riff for about a minute and then get back into the song.

I really have to apologise for keeping people waiting for the next part of this blog – Basically it was very difficult to keep up to date while we recorded as I’d get home about midnight each recording day, and then have a little time spare to prepare for what song we thought we were doing next.

I spent most of today going over the new songs and sorting out lyrics and writing down any arrangement ideas I think might work.

I'd like to have 15 new songs, plus there is a song I remembered the other day that I always wanted to cover which I'll get the guys to learn and see what we can do with it - I won't say what the cover is cos it might turn to shit and I'd rather know if it will sound good first. I think it will though....
