SUMMONER'S TALES...
"Symphonicities was an afterthought. We were rehearsing in Abbey Road and basically pushed the 'record' button. Instead of coming in with a few chords for a band and teaching everyone the song, and finding an arrangement by trial and error, you put a score down in front of an orchestra and they play it. It took about the same time to record as it takes to listen to. I think I'm going to make every album like that in the future."
