Track 14 - "Prelude To":
When we asked Knappy to compose an instrumental introduction
for ”Strung Out On You” we had no idea that his
vision would take us halfway around the world. He had a particular
sound in his head, but was unable to duplicate it with the aid
of modern technology. We had to get “old school”
and I mean real old school…
Cut to a mountainside in the Alps. Picture three men in silly
suits. For the sake of argument we’ll call them Chris,
Dave and Billy. Under the direction of Knappy, these three men
blow upon command and at that precise moment he yells…
YEAH BABY!!!
That’s it…the sound…it’s an Alphorn.
What did you think I was talking about?
| While Knappy studied
at a classical music conservatory, none of his training
employed the use of the Alphorn before this album. |
