Snapshots From The Studio:

Update: October 1st, 1999:

Tech update from Michael Wilk




Despite long delays, hundreds of emails inquiring why, and having listened to John announce (each night while we're on stage) that "my solo CD project is moving like a glacier"; we're posting this update to let everyone know that we are making progress. At this stage of the project, half the songs have been mixed, and a few changes have been made to the material since our preliminary listening at Wolf Fest '99. In addition, during the course of the last year, we have updated much of the gear in the studio, having transformed the (mostly) analog facility to a (primarily) digital one, with plenty of new features to make the mixing process easier and more time efficient. Now that the 1999 touring season is just about over, we will be working in the studio just about full time to complete the project, check back often for updates.
