Well, well... here we go again.
It's 2007 and the New Ancients have begun another album. We already have identified about 10 or 11 tunes to tackle and have begun recording parts for them in hopes to whip up another knockout indy-neuveau-hymn CD. I got a lot of positive feedback about doing a blog on the recording process of the last CD, so it's time to start another one. These blogs will be organized a little differently; first off this one will be a separate blog itself, as the other one by the end was so long and full of embedded quicktime movie clips, that it took 15 minutes to load. Also, speaking of video clips, all the new ones will be hosted on the new boob-tube: Youtube.com, so anyone can see them anytime.Plus, it will save the ORB space on their server not having a 2 dozen or so 6 MB clips of their pastor acting like a mental patient.
This time around the recording process will look much the same as it did for "Light For Dark Eyes", with the exception of some new gear, new instruments, some dandy new microphones and guitar amps, and some new people lending their skills to the party. We should be working every week at least 1 session a week, so look for this thing to be completed around early 2008.
Serious. I'm being realistic.
Ok, on to the show!
The first session began with no ceremony or celebration to speak of, just get in, sit down, shut up and lets go! We began by choosing songs that we wanted to do... some of which are being demanded by people (quite fervently may add) and we started assembling scratch tracks for 5 or 6 of the 11 or so we had picked out. In attendance was Tim Bennett (doing electric guitars), Christian, Michelle, Tom (shootin the vids as usual), Brian Jones, and myself. I think christian did most of the scratch acoustics for the night, and Tim put down a few electric parts. Brian did some glockenspiel for "These Burdens" - i liked it so much i went ahead and ordered one of the same glocks that he has. i love it except for one or 2 of the notes being WAY sharp. oh well, that sort of thing never stopped us before!
