We had picked out songs to record for the album and recorded guide tracks over a period of a few weeks in late 2005. The guide tracks were really tight and solid, and we were pretty keen to start the proper recording process. We arranged to setup Tim's drums at Bicton Uniting Church for the drum recording. We booked in for acouple days straight after Christmas, the 26th and 27th. Tim set to work on practising to the guide tracks and we eagerly anticipated the next step.
