We are aware of the fact that recordings are taking longer than most people expected. But don't worry, the people are still hard at work. Fred grabbed this opportunity to throw his 2 cents into the discussion:

"It's really a matter of time and money. There really isn't anything else to it. We're trying to find the right balance and since we want UP to kick off with guns blazing and since we live in a world where money rules everything (including this project), I had to spread the different recording stages in order to get everything to sound huge and the way it's really supposed to sound.
Drums, bass and synth recordings are all finished and I am only waiting for Glenn and Michel to finish their respective guitar parts before I can wrap the record up by adding my own vocal parts as well as guide vocals for the other vocalists; and you're in for a suprise. But yes, we are getting there!"
