Part of the time taken to complete this record had also been trying to find the balance between work, home life and then using what little time is left at night to go into the studio and work.

It’s been a hard couple of years and I never expected the album to take so long to complete but we are now coming to its final moments before it is thrust into the world for better or worse.

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.
