about

I don’t know why it has taken me so long to actually make this record.

It has been five years since I released The Man from Dystopia and although I put out an EP a couple of years back, and I also worked on a couple of releases by Xtul, somehow the years (as I say in one of the songs “go rushing by”.

This whole record was done here in the potato shed, and I recorded it, and am responsible for all the sounds and words herein. Many thanks to Martin Eve, Graham Inglis, Paul Whitrow and David Braund-Phillips for technical advice, and my darling wife for being my muse, at least on the nice songs. It has been remarked upon that this record is somewhat downbeat. Just look around you and it is not difficult to extrapolate why. Then add my personal circumstances at the moment, and....well, I am not making excuses. I - like Cosey Fanni Tutti and others try to live my art, and this record (at the risk of sounding pretentious) is (like all my records) as mirror of my life.

Again, if I may quote my own lyrics in an annoyingly self-referential manner, Corinna “I fucking love you”!
