Looking in both directions

It's a bit late for a 2011 retrospective, but then again, why not? We were both away over the Christmas period, so here's your slightly delayed entry...

All round, we think we had a Very Good Year. We finally released our ninth album Transmission, and managed to squeeze out a further six b-sides and a healthy handful of remixes on the singles Better Days, I'll Give You Electro and Remission. We've learnt a lot, particularly from the wonderful remixes which Sappy was kind enough to do for us towards the end of the year. We've also re-recorded some old tracks for our own amusement, which may one day see the light of day. Finally, if that weren't enough, we started work on four brand new tracks which we're saving for our next album.

After 2010, 2009 and 2008 being largely quiet, that's a lot of stuff that we've done there.

We've already kicked off 2012 with I'll Give You Electro II, and we're intending to follow that with another single soon. We're currently working on three or four b-sides and we've got another four or five remixes we're playing with too. At the same time we're thinking about what would be on a Transmission "special edition" if it happened, working out how to open up more of our back catalogue to the wider world, and toying with the visual medium too.

But more on all of that to come. Thanks to everyone who has supported or helped us in the last few months. Happy new year!
