A HEAD FULL OF MUSIC

So I just got back to London from another very productive recording session in LA. 

The album is really beginning to shine I think.
Beyond that I can say no more, people will have to wait and hear it when it's ready.

As a more general comment I will say this though; I love this point of recording an album. It's like the initial nerves of trying to find the path the record wants to take is over and we're just running free with it now, following wherever it decides to take us yet reining it in occasionally so we're still pointed in the correct direction.

Here's a shot of one of the studios we've been in last week, a beautiful hardwood room on the top of a hill in Malibu with a 180 degree view of the ocean. One of the most inspirational spots I've visited in recent years.

So, we're breaking soon for Xmas after an extremely busy year;
  • One album finished ("Ghost Stories")
  • A concert film made ("Ghost Stories Live 2014") at Sony Studios in LA
  • Lots of theatre shows (which were a nice break from the usual stadium massiveness)
  • We also recently made a start on LP7 (currently called "A Head Full Of Dreams").

Oh, and as if that was not enough my wife and I had our first child, Stella Adi Rae, in June. She's awesome, without doubt my best production to date!!

I'm looking forward to this break (and maybe finally getting some sleep) but also looking forward to whatever 2015 may bring, I have a feeling it'll be epic. :)

Have a great Xmas everyone!!
