Recorded at Studio 308 and Baroque & Roll Studios, Miami, FL, USA.
Engineered by Tom Fletcher. Mixed by Tom Fletcher and Derek's comments: After playing 10 shows w/ Yngwie in South America the year before, Yngwie invited me to play on his new CD,"Attack." I flew down to Miami, and finished all of my tracks in 4-5 days at Yngwie's mansion/Studio 308. As we were tracking, Yngwie, would switch Rolex watches five times during an 8 hr session. He would never announce it, but he would quietly leave the room, and would shortly return with a new Rolex on...I like it!!! Yngwie knew exactly what he wanted keyboard-wise which was unison runs doubled with a harpsichord patch, choirs and strings throughout the CD. I was disappointed that he didn't make room for me to shred ala Jens Johannson in his early CDs, but I am glad that I could give him what he wanted. There was an instrumental titled "Baroque And Roll" that stood out to me. It was after I completed this session that Yngwie immediately played three songs on my solo CD, "Black Utopia." Fast facts: * Yngwie played on 3 songs on my solo CD "Black Utopia" immediately after I finished my last track on "Attack." * Tom Fletcher who engineered and mixed"Attack" also engineered my first demo tape in 1988. He also did my first solo ,"Planet X" (1999) and Planet X "Universe" (2000). Tom also engineered the Al DiMeola and Yngwie sessions on "Black Utopia". * Yngwie first flew me to Miami in February 1999 to play with him, I think he was thinking about firing his keyboardist at the time, but ended up keeping him. |
