Another little anniversary

It's 10 years since we released 'Synopsis', a collection of our first twenty singles (28th October 2002).

It's an interesting release because it includes all of the singles from our first six albums, plotting our development along the way. Certainly, quite a lot of growing up takes places during the course of the album.

Some of the single versions are quite different from the original album versions, which is a tradition that we still quite often continue when we can think of interesting changes that we would like to make.

With a bit of luck and a lot of hard work, we might be able to issue the second chapter in our singles history in the next few years, covering the period from 2003 onwards (three albums so far) and our adventures in the internet age.

Happy 20th anniversary!

It all started 20 years ago today.

The 26th October 1992 was when we released our first album Schizophrenia. It sounded about as good as you would expect for an album written and recorded by two people in their formative years using a few tape recorders, a tiny Yamaha keyboard and a variety of household objects.

It's not exactly a landmark in the history of modern music, but it's still an event that we look back on with a mixture of fondness, amusement and relief that we've learned a few things in the years since.

Our next challenge is to try to write and record our 10th album in time for our 21st anniversary...
