Hi, Thanks for all of you that have been
buying our music recently, it’s great to see some real support for our music.
We have seen that lots of you use itunes to buy, did you know that we have put
lots of links up on the donttouch website to places to buy our music? Go to www.donttouchrecordings.com/catalogue.html
for all our releases.....

I wanted to let you know what has been
happening in the last few weeks. Well, I have been working on a new project
called ‘Walk in The Garden’ which basically is Alpha’s music put to filmed
adventures in the Pyrenees Mountains, South Western France. The result is a
real escape from the madness of life. Each walk is one shot so you get a real
feel for being there, it’s a fantastic way to lose yourself for a moment. Rain
and snow has brought a delay to
the project, we want sun so the project is on hold for the moment! I will be
uploading a demo video shortly so you can get an idea. The walks will be released
on DVD.....
....
Alpha have been in the studio working on
new tracks. Some new tracks are already available to hear thought the
subscription service featuring Hannah Collins who also sang with The Heavy. We
are all very excited about the next album with vocals from Wendy, Hannah and
Dunc from Blueneck, I know you going to like it. ....

BTW have you heard about Blueneck? – post
rock is the tag, I hate tags but this is what people say, I completely
disagree. I remember recording ‘shoe-gazing’ bands in the early 90’s with a
very similar style. I guess we need to keep coming up with new genres to make
us believe we have new music but the fact is there has been no new movement in
pop music since ‘house music’ which came from the rebellion that the major
record companies had started to commercialize and buy-out independent music.
Ok, get off your soap box, I know but it’s true and while I’m on one – radio
dj’s, will we ever have another John Peel? Someone who actually plays music on
major station regardless of their bosses and pluggers budgets.....
....
One last thing before I go, have you been
listening to our free radio? We have been doing live shows, they have been a
lot of fun. Blueneck will be in for another live session and I am hoping Wendy
will come and do a piano bar evening, keep alert for the posts.....
Cheers....
Corin....
