It starts... - aberdeen-music

We head into the studio tonight to set up all the stuff in anticipation of the start of the Album sessions tomorrow. Who's excited? Me for a start, and so's Len (he told me to tell you that he's dribbling with anticipation).

Anyway - if you feel like giving us any advice or well-wishes then it'd all be greatly appreciated, we're hoping to make the best of this chance thats been given to us and create a monster of an album.

We're all really excited about how the songs are sounding and all thats left to do is for us to go into the studio and make them sound as absolutley beasting as possible.

We'll see you on the other side

Good luck dudes - looking forward to hearing the new material

Any plans for a launch yet?

Joe Atom · 21-05-2004, 12:38

Yes, lots of plans. It's with Karloff at the Lemon Tree in August (the 13th I think).

I hope this album is ruckus.

Make every take a performance. Don't just concentrate on playing every single note right, it'll just sound lifeless. Put some feeling into it and you can hear the difference. If you don't put the energy in, the listener won't get any out. Have fun.

Thats right, Friday the 13th of August at the Lemon Tree with the mighty Karloff. The album will be "officially" released the following Monday (16th) and there should be many a gig going on across the country around the same time too.

We should hopefully be able to put some sampler snippets on the website fairly soon after the album is done to give everyone an idea of what the new stuff sounds like.

Black Atom and Karloff together? *sigh* Glorious I tell thee...glorious

Cheers for that Frosty!! Sound advice indeed

Remember to turn the snare on, Lars. I mean....Len.

Dan G · 21-05-2004, 13:45

Lars didn't use a snare on St Anger... he used a biscuit tin.

I maintain that it's an upside down cereal bowl.

Me and Rass did some experiments trying to work out what it was, but none of Erskine's Ma's crockery seemed to be quite right... I think the cereal bowls had rims at the bottom which changed the sound...
