Production Notes - "Pandemic"

I'll get around to the details of this one in a bit - but for right now, it's my work-in-progress karaoke backing from the Accept album "Blood of the Nations" minus the vocals & guitar fills.

The point of this one was to meet or beat Andy Sneap's production; six weeks were spent on this backing, and most of it was just nailing down tones. Hence, no melodies - but I did take a stab at Wolf Hoffman's solo.

Everything from scratch aside from the vocal stab which I flew it in until I can get a real gang to yell that :D Actually, you can play this song side-by-side against the original in stereo (CD in the left channel, this in the right) AND IT SOUNDS GREAT. Proof of concept!
