Session 4. Picking up where we left off, revised MIDI files in place, with the focus on tracking as much bass as possible – including first-time fretless on STROKES and TRYPTOPHAN. New Bass Friend Forever in the form of the UA 6176 interface. All bass now recorded.

Back from Glasgow with the first two tracks in great shape. A big shout to Rico at The Doghouse for his sonic crafting and treatments, and to Gerry Gregory for his engineering stamina.
