Work started on new album .... at last!

After spending 7 months recording numerous Kraftwerk tracks I have now begun work on my album "Where Do We Go From Here?". I have had various tracks posted on websites of demo's in different forms. Initially I was going to record a soundtrack type album as the original demo's were heading in that direction, however, I have been trying different ideas and the main album has taken more of an "Electronic Chillout" direction. I may well still do a soundtrack version but that will be put on hold until the main CD is complete. I am also do an analog edition of the album which will have totally different versions of the tracks recorded using analog synths. So far I have 5 songs recorded using the analog synths, they are, "Where Do We Go From Here?", "Quiet Splendour", "A Moment With You", "The Long Goodbye" and "Distant Glimmer".

For now I am going to concentrate on the main album which is now moving forward, albeit, quite slowly as I wanted to settle on a style before recording the songs. "Quite Splendour" has been recorded and is quite an upbeat track, nothing like the original ambient demo I recorded. Delighted with that track. I am currently working on "A Moment With You" which is getting there, this has an "Enigma" style rhythm running through the song. Both tracks have plenty of pad sounds, choir sounds and the odd sequencer part in them.

At some point I will be uploading the 2 songs, probably in the next week or so on the various web sites I have.

You can listen to the early demo's and the analog versions of tracks completed across the web pages I have. Below are the links:

I intend to do regular updates on this blog so you can see how things progress with my recordings so keep checking back often.

Finally to end on a music note I am currently learning Gary Numan's track "When The Machines Rock" which I hope to do a recording of and am also working on another "Numan" style track of my own, which incidently, I am going to work on tonight!
