Most
of day one was spent settling into our new (very rural) surroundings,
and then the realisation that rehearsing for gigs was one thing,
but the recording stakes were much higher. We had to be tight and
on the ball at every change of the songs. Owen helpfully pointed
out specific parts that needed work and pushed us on to get the
best take. By the evening we had backing tracks for Lights Out and
Deathshead March recorded, but we knew we could do better. Time
to stop for the night. After a pasta special created by Mr Hatfield,
we tucked into our beers and relaxed our busy minds with a spot
of Hellboy. Then it was time to brave the rustic charms of our caravan
bed space. The photos make it look cozy. It wasn't, but sleep was
needed and it was at least warm.
