Thursday June 21st

This was one of those days were things go wrong. We started working around 12.00. We decided to go for a recording of Undermine, which is probably the oldest of the new songs. We had the feeling that this would be an easy first take recording since we played it many times live. We needed to adjust the sound for this one though, getting a bit more ambient drum sound. It took a long time to find the right sound and just when we were getting ready to record the system crashed. We couldn't record for the next couple of hours and when things were finally working again we were cold and it took us a long time to get a good take. Luckily the waiting was worth it, because late at night when the last take was done, we felt certain that it was definitely the best one we ever did. During the break in the afternoon I went to pick up two giant fender cabinets that I want to try out. The great store Rückkopplung here in Hamburg has the best vintage gear and Smukal, who's the owner, is kindly letting me borrow the cabs. It's gonna be fun hearing how my old Fender PA amp sounds through these monster boxes.
