We know we’ve been a bit quiet of late but we have been busy…here’s a few pics from recent mixing sessions for our next EP before we get fully stuck in the new album.

We’ve already demoed around 30 new tracks which will form the bulk of the new record, and the EPs - and there are bound to be some special remixes and collaborations too.

We’ve again been working with the sonic scientist Tim Holmes from Death In Vegas, at the infamous Contino Rooms and our own Mosquito Dorm studios.

More soon…

As we go into the sessions for the new album, and ahead of new releases, we thought we’d share with you a final and free download single from ‘On The Twelve Thrones’.

‘Afraid Of Your Love’ is probably one of our oldest songs, a live favourite and a track that has been in many different incarnations over the years. We couldn’t tell you how many instruments (let alone people) that have played it at some point during its life.

Here you get the final album version which recorded in the ‘Mosquito Dorm’ and ‘Analog Studios’, and the previously unreleased ‘Jagz Kooner Mix’ which we recorded at ‘Miloco Studios’. Probably one of our most enjoyable, decadent (and expensive) sessions ever with the Dark Lord of Electro. You also get the fantastic ‘Electric Loop Orchestra Remix’ recorded by the genius audio scientist that is Tim Holmes (who’s also one half of Death in Vegas).

Special art work as always, comes from the ”destined to be national treasure” Stuart Semple.

Hope you enjoy it and please feel free to share. Just click through here to listen and download. ;-)

As promised here’s a link to a little something we put together yesterday called ‘Surround the Possible’. We thought we’d try something a little more cinematic and just see what happened. It’s kind of an ethereal musical snapshot in time of where we were from 9:00 until 14:00 rather than a ‘New Song’ as such, but we said we’d share so here it is. Artwork by Mister Semple.

You can listen and download for free via Sound Cloud or listen and watch to some visual stuff we found on You Tube and set the track to. (No copyright infringement intended of course)

We recorded everything live to an analogue 16 track, and then mixed down in stereo, then popped it onto a mac and converted to MP3.

For those fellow gear geeks amongst you, here’s what we used:

Akai S20 , MPS 2000 , Leslie 2101 Rotary Speaker, Hammond B3, EH Memory Man Delay, Korg MS20, Fender Jazz master, Les Paul Black Beauty, Les Paul Custom, Fender Jagstang, Devi Ever Truly Beautiful Disaster, DBA Octave Clang, Boss Analogue Delay, DIY Spring Reverb (Made by Matt Sladen (Live Keys Player) Marshall Valve Combo Stack, 1989 Mesa Boogie MK iii Green Stripe.

Thought we’d just share a couple of recent album reviews from Mojo and Classic rock Magazines. Not bad for our first go. We think album number two might just pull a few surprises though.

Just before sound check at Sheffield’s O2 Academy on the Machine Music Tour, we sat down with Gary Numan and Soundsphere Magazine to talk about the PETALS project and the charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).

This is the first in a series of four videos that were recorded. For more info on CALM and what they do, CLICK HERE

Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:02:00 +0100

Thought we’d share a bit of an improvised groove captured in rehearsal a while ago. It took on a life of its own as we played it through. We tried tarting it up a bit a the time and then lost interest. We didn’t really know what to do with it as it’s not a song as such, more just a musical moment in time. We thought we’d put it out there to show a different side to what we enjoy to make and explore sonically. Feel free to download, share, chop it up, play it out or whatever.

We might share a few more as we clear up the drive space in prep for recording the second record. Don’t be deceived though - you’ll need to watch your speakers on the outro. It gets quite fierce ;-) X
