heh, funny that this thread got bumped today. I haven't talked much about it here, but I bought a new house. We're moving next week. One of the big wishlist items for me was an expanded studio and so I am taking the second-largest bedroom in the home and converting it into a full-time, always-on, fully-equipped, modern recording studio.
Also, the second album is pretty much written now. Recording will commence as soon as I get the new studio up and running (probably about a month from now)
Lee Abraham will be producing and mixing again. The thing is, I think this time I'm going to make the trip over to Thin Ice studios in London for the drum sessions. That's not to say I didn't like the drums on Back From Being Gone. Gerald did a great job. But I would like to have a bit more creative influence while they're being recorded and that's hard to do on a cell phone call across the Atlantic.
