Chycki actually recorded the vocals for ADTOE in the Toronto area. James told JP that since they are trying things a new way, he didn't want to record his vocals in NY and he didn't want to be messed with. JP gave the ok and Jame went ahead. I think maybe 5 or 6 tracks were recorded without JP but then he wanted to be present for the remaining tracks so he flew up to Canada so it was just him, James, and Richard in the studio.
That began the relationship with Chycki and DT(other than James was in Winter Rose with him)
