A sneak preview of the new album

Hi all,

I've posted a little video up from the one of the studio sessions with Jali Fily Cissokho on a new You Tube channel that will feature stuff from the new album:

This is Fily having a go at 'Try', a song based on a young Eumachia, which also features Gary Brooker:

Nearly there.....

Well folks, I'm pleased to announce that we're nearly there with the final mixes!

On Tuesday I took a four week old Jessica in the studio with me to do a run through and listening session. While there Jez and I tidied things up and re did bits here and there (complete with baby in the vocal booth!). We've narrowed it down to 11 tracks, with 2 interludes, and are currently working on the track listing, with a vinyl edition in mind.

We've still got a little bit of work to do on one or two tracks, but fingers crossed, if we're happy with all the levels and sounds the album will be going to the mastering phase at the end of this month!

Having listened to the album so far, I have to say I'm incredibly pleased with it. We've been working very hard to make sure that every song counts and tells a relevant story, to create an actual 'album'. Something almost harking back to the late 80's/1990's. I can't wait to preview it to you.
