I came across this article this evening. A long, detailed piece with Mark Needham. It is really fascinating if you are into how music is made, recorded, and mixed. Some general things we knew. They record a lot of the guitars and basses DI or direct into the recording console and not through amps. On the other hand they did basic track a lot of the music live - guitar, Hammond Organ, bass, drums. We also know that Lindsey loves to layer tracks. And Pro Tools have given him nearly infinite expansion capabilities.
But did we know how much ---???
Feel About You was 189 tracks including 44 drum and percussion tracks and 76 backing vocal tracks.
It is a long and for many an overly detailed read that will be boring. But I thought a few of you might enjoy it as I did.

44 drum and percussion tracks...
'... It might be somebody tapping a hand on a couch. In fact, there are a lot of couches on these tracks!'
They stepped up from chairs to couches.
I think less may have been more. Particularly on this song....as much as I love it.
