I just love how everybody seems to appear nearly sleeping or bored beyond belief on these. Like, "do you have something else Mark?".
I wonder what's the reason behind that? My only explanation is that Mark plays about 100 new songs for them for a couple of hours :lol

I think that Guy has told about it that what happens is MK plays the song to the band and explains to the band what he thinks will fit the song better to the band, and the band, while MK is playing the songs are figuring out in his head what they can play in the song.

They take notes and then they go for it.

I know this process. I play drums, very amateur, and a friend of mine write songs and record them with his band, Prior to this, he sometimes calls me and another friend who plays guitar and does with us exactly that, he play the song to us, with some indications, and when he's playing I'm planning what to play, how and where in the song, and then right after that, we play together and record the song as a demo. He usually likes what we do and when he doesn't, he ask us to do something different, usually it doesn't take further than two takes to get the demo as he wants.

I'm sure that MK get it ok with one take as this guys are so proffesional, but probably do more takes just to have more to choose.

I like very much that Danny sits among them as a real band member so to say and not just is allowed to come in and do his percussion job and then has to leave...

I am not too happy about Guy's recent comment on lots of Sax solos.. Not too keen to hear much stuff like Wherever I Go... although on River Towns it sounded great. Sax is so 80's in general...

I read something in Robbie McIntosh facebook that sounded great to me. He said to Danny C that he was called to BG and he worked on some songs in which featured Danny and Ianto, and that he was amazed about the grooves they played.

Obviously I guess it's the MK record and that comment about the grooves, you say that about a song when it's a cool song, from my very little experience drumming, so I have hopes for this new record.

Maybe I missed something but it's new to me that Robbie McIntosh was among the Musicians for the album? Did Guy mention him?

No, so my guess it's not the MK project Robbie talked about.

It is nice to see Danny there again and he appears to be one of the few actually looking interested!  I wonder how he feels sitting near his replacement Ianto who appears to have nodded off... :think

Maybe it's the musical... we don't know if Ianto and Danny were involved.

Robbie post in facebook was after Guy already posted his diary, maybe he was called after cause they needed more guitar on any track and call back Richard would had been more difficult...

According to facebook that post was two weeks ago.
