I'm looking at doing a similar project in the not-too-distant future, and these are terrific suggestions. One thing I've decided to do is demo about 15 or 16 of the tunes I like the best, slap in some kind of order on a demo cd and pass it on to some selected individuals to see what they think, as well as live with it myself for awhile, so I can decide what I & others like and don't like, what to eliminate to get me down to ten or so tracks. The added advantage is that by laying down bass, rudimentary percussion, guitars etc., I'll have a sense of what I'm looking for when the meter's running in the studio. But still, getting it down to those 15 or so is tough, and the suggestions above give me something to think about. cheers, q
