Greetings blog readers - just to let you know that last weeks Wireless session recording was an absolute stunner. Marcus has been given his feet back after a period of self-imposed restraint (he's the drummer with his kick back) and provided a subtle yet undeniable motorik groove. Richard went into a state of micro-sound playing with his guitar work, working the notes in a repetetive but not riff-tastic way. Bens keyboards were applied with easy confidence (that boy never seems to put a finger wrong, even when he introduces one of his inimitable comic touches...) Paul played his XPiano like a dream, generating long, attack-free notes that hung in the air like a musical mist and were replaced by melodic pluckings, bowings and scrapings. My role, as the bands ears, was to marshall and organize these sound down to two-track.
The resulting sublimity can be heard from Friday 7th October on my internet radio show, Crooked Stylus (
www.totallyradio.com) As always, feedback is most helpful.
Thanks to you all,
