It was quite interesting, as for me I found that once I thought that I had exhausted my ideas, I would land in the solo section and just have to play whatever came to mind. I found that after so many cycles, you are constantly thinking ‘I’ve got 12 bars to think what am I going to do next?’. It did help us switch off and try and just improvise. This kind of rehearsing allowed us to get to grips with the way we all improvised and exited solo sections. We would sometimes spend 15-20 minutes, just soloing for four bars each, which was exhausting, but did bring some really creative ideas to the table. We would spend time just running the head section over, and then we would just run the alternating solo sections over. As the rehearsals progressed, we would gradually take the tempo up until we got it at the correct speed and in time. This was a real test for us as a band in rehearsal and we had to start it at a very slow speed. It is a very technical track – odd time signatures, odd rhythms and some of Dennis Chamber’s signature ghost-note-fusion drum grooves. ![]()
