I was going to digress and mention that I'd seen her listed in the credits of a movie I saw at the 2nd Ave film Archive a couple weeks ago then thought better of it. But yeah she was, as I recall, a big help.<br />And yeah, Berger did concoct the doo-doo-doo-do-do-do-doot-doot-doot riff.

TracyMcKin. I also forgot to mention Mike Berger, the tenor player we had briefly whose claim to fame is that he wrote the hook for Doomsday. Osho tells me I got some of the horn ordering wrong, but he hasn't written me back, so I'm not sure what he is talking about.<br />-bAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-90800573050369560232011-05-10T17:10:34.528-04:002011-05-10T17:10:34.528-04:00Actually it was Bill McKinney (guitarist on Might-...Actually it was Bill McKinney (guitarist on Might-Ay White-Ay, and an old school friend of mine from Ohio) who put us in touch with Bill Laswell. McKinney had recently worked with Laswell and Funkadelic guitarist Michael Hampton in a studio band called Slavemaster, recording the album Under the Six. McKinney played rough mixes of God Bless Satan for Laswell, who liked it and said we should give him a call if we needed production help. Laswell offered us a two-day mixing session at Greenpoint Studios with mix engineer Bob Musso (of Murphy's Law fame) who shares co-production credit on the album.<br /><br />-Greg RobinsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-32709916981127192642011-05-10T02:44:00.976-04:002011-05-10T02:44:00.976-04:00I always wondered what happened to Meph.
