Hmmmmm.....well I'd better just jump straight in and explain some stuff that's been going down over the last month or so. The Good News is that Adeste Fiddles (No it's no a typo) - our "Christmas Baby", has gone up onto iTunes and Emusic now, so I hope you've all got your ipods and mp3 players ready.
The bad news is that we can't get the actual CD (complete with gorgeous artwork) out till next year. Booooooooooo! It's all down to hideously boring legal shananigans, which I couldn't bear to burden you with - plus I'll probably start crying and sniffling and sobbing and breaking down and screaming and stamping and pouting and ......you get the picture right? So ( I was quite upset ;) anyway Ollie and I are being brave little soldiers and carrying on regardless. Even now we're plotting our next album and these are some of the goodies we've made a start on. There's a really sexy version of the Arabian Dance from Tchaikovsky - yeah I know, it's another "NutCracker" toon with a gorgeous melody and lovely moody arrangement. Then we're doing a really bizarre version of the "Hall of the Mountain King" incorporating retro industrial machinery samples - like pistons - whiring cogs and flywheels mixed into the percussion. If you enjoyed "She Too" from our first album, I've written a new piece in a similar vein called "Back into the Flame" Can anyone spot the connection btw?
So thats about where we are at the moment. I'm so sorry about the physical CD disappontment (I always buy the CD then Rip - Call me old fashioned but I like to have something to hold in my hand) Oh! - S'cuse the innuendo, but it is pantomime season!
Till next time - Happy Trails and hope you like our new baby.
