Progress...

We've been busy recording of late. "Whatever Happens, Happens" is pretty much done, the vocals were recorded today and sound really great, edited the structure, and it's sounding really good. Very happy with it. Need to do some more work with "It was Summer" (working title) - there's a big build-up at the end we need to sort out, and pretty much all the parts will need to be rerecorded, which is pretty standard for these things. The third track is going to be a re-mixed version of "Interference" (not remixed as in a four to the floor beat stapled on, just the levels and sounds tweaked about - we've learnt quite a lot about mixing since we initially recorded it). There may or may not be a fourth song. But these three are gonna be killer, and very much value for money.

Sit Down

Our track is not going to be on "Army of Mexes", the Bjork "Army of Me" covers and remixes album. Oh well. Check out the details on bjork's site. It's for a good cause.

(We might reuse the music, which we rewrote from scratch, in a new song, but we might not.)

Some more comments

Check Purpose Built Records for some more comments on our track (plus some other stuff on the album, obviously):
"19: Electrum - Interference - a 2 piece male/female ensemble, catchy pop, criminally short [song] though."
Of course, our philosophy is to keep stuff short and sharp. We'd rather you listen to the song twice than listen to the same chorus twice and a guitar solo which won't add anything to the song. The Aphex Twin's "Richard D. James" springs to mind, you can listen to it twice in the space of most electronic albums, and there are more ideas going on every second than in most people's hours. So there. But it's a nice comment, so thanks.

And they've raised £230.00 before the CD's been distributed. Which is obviously great.
