| − | =Introduction=
| + | [[Category:Disambiguation]] |
| − | [[Ghost In The Machine]] was recorded and mixed at [[AIR Studios (Montserrat) | AIR Studios]] on Montserrat - between [[1981-06-21]] and [[1981-07-27]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first song to be recorded was [[Demolition Man]], a song that [[Sting]] originally composed for [[Zenyatta Mondatta]], but was left off that album. It was chosen to be the first song as it was supposedly easy to record.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Once Upon A Daydream]] and [[Love Lessons]] were recorded, but left off the album.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While on Montserrat Andy's song [[I'm So Tired]] got his new title: [[Omegaman]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[I Burn For You]] was probably the last song to be recorded during these sessions - several photos of song sheets behind the mixing desk show that this song's sheet was added last. It was also left off the album and re-used for the [[Brimstone & Treacle (soundtrack) | Brimstone & Treacle]] soundtrack.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Jean Roussel]]'s keyboards for [[Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic]] were recorded for [[Sting]]'s demo at [[Le Studio]] in January [[1981]]. As the band couldn't improve what [[Sting]] and Jean did back in January they eventually played their parts to the demo, keeping the keyboard part. Jean was present on Montserrat for a few days, so it's possible that he also added keyboard parts there.
