AE: this version was conceived before Lost in the Looking-Glass came out, in conversation with Larry 'Cerdes' Pennisi; and then it was discussed the first time I met Gary Shepard – with whom I'd already recorded a couple of tracks – in an Irish pub across from Imac Huntington when Procol played there in 2003.We discussed how to make an 80s new wave punk sound with the Procol feeling, and Gary's rhythm-track answer to that question (this is his second version) is the basis of the present track. I added vocals at Jeremy Gilien's studio on two occasions, and Roland creatively blended these on his own equipment. When Roland was in LA we had further discussions, during late-night driving, about how the backing vocal should go: he went home and communicated this to Jane. As I listened to various mp3 mixes sent over from the UK, I clearly heard additional percussion parts, which I then dictated over the 'phone to Bristol, where Peter executed them! A few more vocal parts, and a final mix, were completed when I was in Bristol in December 2003. So – although it was conceived in LA, the song has gestated for the best part of two years in many minds, and covered thousands of miles before being born here. |
