Unfortunately, these recordings have been made so fast and without synchronization, that only two tracks with the whole orchestra could make it on the actual album (tracks 6 and 12). Finally a few month later, the rest of the tracks were recorded on a Pro-Tools system in Casablanca, but with only fiv
