Posted by joneserooni | Filed under Making Of..., News/Blog

… or as complete as my wallet will allow. heh. The rest of the session went pretty fast with little fanfare. Paul and I re-tracked more vocals and added a few extra keyboard tracks here and there. ‘Ego’, ‘Sweet Simulacra’ and ‘First Five’ got the treatment they deserved and sound even better with the additional [...]
