review...
Two deliberately very different sessions to each other,
trying out different new combinations of instruments. The laptop I'd been
using for weirdly manipulated samples had developed a fault, and thus it
wasn't used at all in the October session, instead I made use of some rhythm
programming I'd sussed out on the guitar synth. I'd also got a cold and
wasn't so focused, which meant Steve and Dave more space to lay on the fudge
big time. Naturally that meant some overlong pieces that needed judicious
pruning. For the December session I'd got the laptop working again, with some
wicked rhythmic and instrumental samples, and Dave brought along a new toy -
a Stylophone! This meant a rip-roaring intense session was inevitable! The resultant
2CD is a hefty, powerful and very long outing that goes many places that
we've never been before. Prepare to have your socks blown off!
