(It was no contest really.) I told Dave about the plan, he liked it, and I remember the two of us going to a library in Torrance to look at a map and find Caudeval!ĭave: I recall being skeptical, as our lives in California were then pretty comfy.

I suggested that Dave and I go there, buy an ADAT, use Maggie's mics and desk, and record a new uu’s album. Maggie was about to move from Rotterdam to Barcelona and Chris ran ReR in London, so no one expected that anyone would go and fix up-let alone live in-the old house in France anytime soon until then. It's then they told me they owned a farmhouse in the south of France and nobody lived there. I can still see the scene-we were driving past the lake used by the Pilsner Urquell brewery!
