"... Killer Killer tune that is called "Alone“ by RUINS that’s off a record called "Occasional visits“ originally recorded in 1981 (actually 1984 n.d.r) ... italian business and reissued by Stroom TV … a killer killer whole record as I said …"

BACK IN THE STUDIO ...

... Yesterday RUINS was back @ AGW Home Studio for a new recording session, this time hosting a very special guest (& longtime musical comrade) like Franco Moruzzi on drums.

The studio worksheet @ AGW was reading:

Drums parts for song n.1: "I gotta"

Drums parts for song n.2: "Night"

Actually there are still some other songs in the pipeline waiting to be completed with new vocals and keyboards arrangements as well as with the definitive drum parts ... like "Bit by Bit", "I'm scared", "Pale idea" and "Spiritual man".

But at last we can officialy report that "Addicted" and "Out of this mess" are finished and waiting for the pre-mastering sessions.

'Til later ...
