How long does it take to make an album?  I suppose it depends. When we were all single, we thought nothing of spending a whole weekend recording up at Mark's house, and were able to release a CD a year.

Now we've got partners, wives and in some cases babies. It took us 2 years and 10 months to get out 'Buff My Lizard', and we're 2 years and 7 months on from that and 'Osbert Scoon' still isn't ready.

All the recording and overdubs are done, we finished those in March. However we've had real difficulty in doing the mixing. Our initial attempt at mixing went nowhere because we weren't able to transfer all the material to a PC as separate tracks, and this meant that when we had finished the mixes, we couldn't make any changes to them.

 

Finally Dan has made a breakthrough and is able to get everything transferred to his PC. We hope to get all the mixing done in the next month, and the CD itself out and ready to sell by August.

Then, we will have to sit down and decide whether there is a better way for us to do albums, that is more time efficient, as one album every 3 years isn't really where we want to be.
