WILDEST GINA V. D'ORIO

In February 2002 LIKE A TIM travelled from Rotterdam to Berlin to record the vocal-tracks for all "Bass Girl" songs within 5 days in my flat. Most time I was sitting on my bed and Tim situated himself + equipment on a chair in front of the window behind the bed while recording.

The idea to record cover-versions of the most famous 60s girl-group-classics was even older... In 1998 LIKE A TIM called me on the telephone and told me about his plan, asking if I was into recording these songs with him. As I adore his music/art I was curious how it would sound if LIKE A TIM jumps into the Spector-World.
I wouldn't have done it for anyone else; Factory girl-group-hits... I'm not even a real singer, but that is another story... yes.

It took a quite a long time to record because the noise-level was very high outside: A kindergarden in the backyard and an old man who was cutting wood with an old saw. I still wonder what he did with all that wood. When I listened to the result a few months ago I didn't know what to think - I never heard something like this before. The picture I had in my head was a dry umbrella in the rain. No decoration at all.

LIKE A TIM is a very special person in every way. Sound by sound-always. Absolute Bass Spector addiction in this case. LIKE A TIM is true - he doesn't need more than overloading the minimum. -Peace-
