BiTS: What I really want to know is how was this
done? I mean, did you do this remotely? Did you
send them backing tracks or how did it actually

work?

FL: Most of them have recreated it. So basically, I
sent them the original track, and, in some cases, I

suggested a track to them like with Zac Schulze.
He has a particular style, which everything travels
at a very high speed [laughs]. So there were a

couple of songs that lent themselves very well to
his style. I gave him those two and just said, choose
whichever one you want to do. But other people Zac Schulze

had asked, like Alice asked for ‘Archangel’ because
she actually sang backing vocals on the track on
the album.

BiTS: Right, right, that's a great idea then. Who is the actual producer of it? Is it you
and Paul?

FL: Well, we're pulling it all together with help from Dudley Ross. He's done three

of the tracks. He's produced tracks for three of the tracks. And then the various
vocalists have actually added their own tracks remotely in some cases. We've also
got a guitar solo from Joe Bonamassa and another guitar solo from Walter Trout. So

it's lovely to get those two involved because obviously Bonamassa was a massive
influence on Matt.

BiTS: Yes, yes indeed.

FL: And he played with Walter several
times on stage. So, yes, we were lucky
to get them both involved as well. So
Walter Trout
that was lovely.

BiTS: And the American people,
Walter Trout and Joe Bonamassa, I take

it that they did their stuff in the States,
did they?

FL: Yes, they recorded it and then sent

it as a file, so we were able to add it
over here.

BiTS: Right.

FL: And some people went into the
studio. We've got a friend, Dan Lucas,
who runs Joplin House Studios in Kent,
