Except that it took you guys quite some time, how did the recordings proceed?
Andre: Man, it was a long process, looking for the right sound. Our sound, that is.
Daan: Because we had the possibility of recording in our own studio, we took our time getting the perfect sound. At a certain point you just know what's right and how to accomplish that.
Why did you actually record in your own studio; you could have gone to one with an engineer who's got everything sorted out.
Richard: Because we think no one else does the job well enough. We've experienced producers misinterpreting our ideas, so we thought: let's go with Frankie, and this is the result!
Daan: Of course you've got other limitations when you record in your own studio, but that's OK. 'Cause otherwise you have got to make a lot of decisions too quick with soundconditions you are not familiar with. Now we had the opportunity to take tapes home after we'd cut some new tracks and compare them to previous sessions.
Andre: Taking distance, listening to the tracks at different places, different stereos.
Daan: That's a luxury you can't afford at other studios because the clock keeps on ticking, costing you loads of money. Then you can't take too long making your mind up.
Are you going to use the album for luring record labels or getting gigs?
Andre: Both, of course! A sort of musical business card to get people interested. We kept the album as compact as possible on purpose, we deliberately did not make a full-length record because we didn't want to give everything away immediately. It's our strategical choice to put 5 tracks on the CD.
Richard: One thing's for sure: we know it's solid, we know it's chunky. It sure is gonna kick some serious ass!
Mark:Yèp.
