The last post of 2008

Here we go again ...

(List of excuses deleted)

We've done about half a dozen rough mixes of tracks for our next album, with more to come as soon as is humanly possible.

Thank you once again to everyone that has downloaded our iDusk EP so far. The number of downloads has far exceeded our expectations... but then our expecations were very low (always aim low, that way you can't miss). The EP will almost certainly not be available indefinitely, so if you're interested, make sure you act sooner rather than later (early bird, worm and all that).

We wish you a Happy New Year if you happen to be using the same calendar as us. If not, we hope that the next time this planet passes some arbitrary point of your choosing along its orbit of the sun, you will have a happy next orbit, or something.

PS. The jetstream was too far south again this summer. Could someone please sort this out? Hello technical support? Thanks.

All the broken promises

Close your eyes, think of home
So far from you
All the broken promises
None of them came true

OK, not very profound, but never mind. That was from a song we wrote in 2000, called White Noise. It sounded a bit like OMD, but not as good, probably.

Speaking of songs, you might be wondering where the new ones have got to. In his last post Simon said "keep checking back here regularly". For those of you who have (many hundreds, I imagine) you may be wondering what exactly you were expected to find.

So what has changed since August? We have done preliminary mixes on lots and lots of vocals; vaguely decided on what the album will look like; drunk at least 329 cups of tea; umm...

So here's an early New Year's Resolution for 2012 err... 2009. We will complete our new album, and stick it out. There, I've said it.

I'll go away again now.
