Mr Twister was written as a completely collaborative effort between James, Marcos and Danny, which is evident in the broad genre bending and crossing "Would". Would starts off poppy, then swing elements are introduced, with the Guitar solo going "
Outside", we had nowhere else but Latin to take the song to another level. This was particularly difficult coming from a 6 bar, 6/4 section and segueing into a Clave.
Whole is a trip down Hole Tone memory lane, with a definite American Fusion influence. The Guitar solo there was a one taker.
Predilection and Lighthouse were one take Jams during which Producer/Engineer Luke Webb said, "You guys just went berserk".
Lighthouse features a head that changes key every two beats, (which both Marcos and Dan solo over at
around 161 bpm).
There's plenty more to be experienced on this Album, including
Massive Driving Rhythms, Insane Drum Solos, as well as beautifully crafted and executed Bass virtuosity, not to mention, too much Gambalesque Sweep Picking.
Mr Twister was recorded from start to finish in 17 hours, laying the
Drums and Bass down more or less together Live. All Rhythm Guitars were all doubled and in some cases four Guitar parts were layered. All instrument parts were either one or two take, which is a monumental effort when you consider the title track, "Mr Twister", contains no 4/4, nor does it resolve to 4/4 at any stage.
