Today, I’m working on the mix for Silent Night, our soon to come Xmas single for 2017. As you can see from the screen grab, it’s a complex little beastie! I’m hoping to complete the mix this weekend.
Our latest video is now available. Entitled Quantum Spin, this is track 6 from our Kicking the Olive Branch album. This is just your bog-standard album cover type video thing . . . no time to throw anything more elaborate than that together for it due to time being taken up with the Xmas Single . . . More of that to follow . . .
The next video to be released, later today, will be the hard rocking number 6 song from Kicking the Olive Branch album . . . the riff-alicious Quantum Spin! This will be a simple ‘let the music do the talking‘ kind of video. More details soon. And I will also …

Just a quick update . . . I have now completed the recording of the instrumental version of this years Xmas single. As you can probably guess, it is Silent Night. But not any old Silent Night! No, this is a kitchen sink progressive rock epic! We have the usual …

Hey, we’re almost on time with this one . . . our August 2017 newsletter is now available and has already been sent to the list. If you are not on the list / don’t want to be on the list, you can read it here.
In the quest to get all tracks from Kicking the Olive Branch rendered as video, I’m pleased to announce that track 3 – Lovotics – is now available for your viewing pleasure! This is one of my favourite tunes, featuring some great keyboard and guitar solos. The video features all …
Here is sneaky look at the thumbnail shot for the forthcoming new video. This video uses hand drawn sketches (I knew art college would pay off one day!) to weave a tragic tale of automaton amour!
As everyone reading this likely knows, for some time now all members of the list have been able to download an exclusive – never commercially released – 10 minute epic called Passing Fancy (I, II). This song was recorded at the same time as the All Life is One sessions …
I’m pleased to report that Ken Senior, featured vocalist on many of our recordings, has finally released a new CD / Digital Download! Recording under the name Evolve, the album is called Future and seems to be a mixture of 1 new song (new to me, anyway!) and re-recorded versions …
We released the second video from our Kicking the Olive Branch album the other day. You can find it in this post or you can pop along to YouTube to take it or a spin. We also created a brand new Channel Intro video thing, which is quite good and …

There is a great review of the new album: “this is superb from the very first note to the last” available at that bastion of Progressive Rock, Progarchives. Do please check it out.
Shiver me timbers and call me flabbergasted, but I have now SOLD OUT of the Limited Edition CD of Kicking the Olive Branch. That’s right, they are all gone – supply exhausted, dwindled down to zero. You may be lucky enough to pick one up at your favourite stockist, though, …
Today I’m going to talk about making Rock Videos! Everyone here is likely to be aware of Album Art videaos . . . (album cover + music, and that’s pretty much it). That sort of thing is all over YouTube and I have done them myself. They are quick and …
