It was really cool to be able to chat with DJ Nocturna in this video-interview and focus on the three discs of A Cornucopia while ranging much further afield too youtube.com/watch… there is plenty to say about a project as wholistic as this with a 35th anniversary year too.

Jaunt: Fast rocknroll about the Tomorrow People with added real trumpet - Mega thanks to Vive Le Rock for hosting the video premiere today! vivelerock.net/blogs/news-1...

35th anniversary year has been a busy one; Bounty the 3rd segment of A Cornucopia is live on the streamers as of today and of course already out there as part of the 3disc mega album on big stir records - all the links are here: thespeedofsound.hearnow.com/a-cornucopia... enjoy an explore around it!

Hello. Seeing as things are blowing up here a bit, here’s a refresher, MUSICnGEAR said our new single Artificial Paradise is “a lush blend of indie rock and danceable power pop” which neatly sums that one up, but the album is a hugely diverse 38 track three disc set so there is masses to explore.

35 years since this particular musical voyage of discovery, experimentation & boundary pushing started. 17th September 1989. We recorded the 1st EP on old technology. The Berlin Wall was still up & no internet. A different world. We’re still here. Still making independent music & still enjoying it!
