Hi folks, well thanks for the e-mails, we've all been very busy - in the studio and I toddled off for the weekend to take in the sights and sounds of cobbled Lisbon. The Iron Maiden sessions are progressing extremely well, and we'll actually be finished all the guitars today, with Janick doing some final acoustic guitar overdubs today, and then we've got to finish up all the vocals with Bruce tomorrow and next week. We've got Jeff Bova (who programmed and arranged the great strings on Blood Brothers and Nomad, off the Brave New World album) working on a couple of orchestral arrangements for two songs at his studio in New York, and then we've a few simple keyboards to overdub in London and we'll be ready to mix, probably by the beginning of April!
