Tony – ‘Originally this was going to be a song with words, I only had an outline idea for these but decided to arrange and put down the backing track while I was thinking. The great thing about this is that is has a ‘song’ structure which adds more colour and opportunity than just an instrumental jam might have. Having laid down the backing track complete with bass and guitar riffing in unison at certain points, I still wasn’t inspired on the vocal front, but threw down a few ad libs anyway to fill the spaces. Once Joe arrived and played furiously throughout it became obvious that no words were necessary, it would indeed be an instrumental. So we worked on that a bit and two mixes later were playing it back thru’ the 100 watt speakers in my living room with knowing smiles. Controlled energy I believe! ‘
Joe – ‘That’s it really – the best laid schemes of mice and men …..blah blah blah.’
