We used to drive great distances on our scooters to buy some nice microphones for recording or some good speakers. We would schedule recording times for 4-5 songs that would last about 30–35 minutes. Every song was captured in a single take. I also appreciated those times. But in the end it was worth it since we had to fight for the life we have now."
