  5. Bimbimbie: hmmm. I think they recorded their parts individually and then sent them over and he mixed it into real time afterwards. It really doesn't sound like it was done on non-professional consumer durables in people's back rooms, does it..!

    Baino: did you find it sombre? I thought it was sublime. I love the bits where the choir go all ethereal, also that bit in the beginning featuring one woman in her dining room in musical ecstasy..!
