Notes:

•  Keep vocal dry on Beautiful Shadow verses – more verb on Choruses

•  Mic model neumann on Close the Door – key dry to cut through – edgy (Airbag) – compress/adjust levels

•  Feedback on Close the Door background vocals

•  Hiding vocal – lots of verb with Santana effect on hiding line

•  In the City vocal feedback throughout – more on chorus and wash at the end

•  Beautiful Shadow moog effect on verses (ref: Do You Realize?)

•  Dessing vocals - ALL

•  Something going from ear to ear for part of one song

•  Stars should sound like ‘Clocks'

•  Empty should sound like ‘Karma Police'

•  Palo Alto more acoustic w/ keys – what it would have been on ‘OK Computer'

•  Almost Real – fuck with the guitar intro like Yoshimi track #3
