Cherry Beat - Recording Sessions (Part Eighteen - The Band's Fourteenth Album)

November 2004
The band had played two large successful concerts at the City Field Stadium of New York City in the last five years. One in 2000 and one in 2004. The band had also written several new songs during the sessions where they rehearsed the songs that they would play for their concert in 2004. And now that the big day of the concert was past, the band decided that it was now time to start recording songs for what would become their fourteenth studio album.

It would be the first studio album to feature Torquil Dohrn since his departure from the band in 1982, the second album by the band since their reunion starting in 1999, and the first studio album to feature Wilbur Milardo as a band member who wasn't in the band when they had recorded their previous album.

It would also be the first album to be recorded at Eastern Sound Recorders and issued under the Starboard Music Records label since the band had defected from their longtime recording studio Moonlight Bay Studios, and their longtime music label Moonlight Bay Records.

Unlike their previous album "Paintball Arena" where the songs were co-produced by Gregory Dogan, and featured the participation of numerous session musicians, this album would be produced entirely the band, and feature minimal participation from session musicians.
