Spring is in the Air!



It's only a couple of weeks since the Winter 2010 Paranoid Podcast appeared, but it's time to move on already. Some unexpected sunshine this past week has brought on an early spring at paranoid HQ and so another edition has popped up unexpectedly.

The Spring 2010 podcast features our great 'lost' album from 2005 'Skylines of the Future'. Having just released our debut set 'Foundations' earlier that year, we originally spent many months on the follow-up but things didn't quite work out as expected. Revisiting the original recordings just this past week, everything suddenly and unexpectedly fell into place. Expect lo-fi ambience with layered electronic effects deployed to explore contemplative themes. This is an album that we're particularly proud of. 37 minutes of essential paranoia HERE

If you downloaded/listened to said podcast before today, you may want to revisit it and hear it as it was intended to be heard... by clicking here

Apologies!

Paranoid Podcast Winter 2010



With the cold, dark conditions currently evident in the UK's bleak winter, it seems appropriate to provide a new soundtrack via the Paranoid Podcast.

The 13th and latest installment in this free podcast series is the Captive Thoughts/Surveillance State EP - a 2 track, 27 (approx) minute soundtrack to the big brother society that we reside in.

It's here...



...the Infectious Unease Radio Compilation Volume 1. A 4CD set featuring 62 uneasy listening tracks from a variety of acts from around the world. Put together by Infectious Unease Radio's Gordon Taylor in Melbourne, Australia, this compilation is second to none. If you have at least a passing interest in dark music then you will find something to enjoy here.

Having listened to the 4CD compilation in its entirety I am impressed by the quality of the music and the diversity of musical styles represented - everything from electro, EDM, industrial, rock, dark folk etc. It's an honour to have one of our tracks (Waste Train - new and exclusive!) included.

The compilation can be ordered from Dark Stereo with worldwide shipping available.

Happy New Year/Decade

Happy New Year and indeed decade paranoid people of the world! Apologies for being so quiet of late, but it has been a busy time for all of us in one way or another.

Anyway, while the blog may not have been a hive of activity, our musical projects have been somewhat more so. We have product new and old this year and will provide some more details soon. However I can reveal that I am currently in the process of mastering what will be our first retrospective compilation featuring our most loved tracks since 2004 plus a couple of new ones. The collection will be entitled 'reflections and distortions' and will be both the perfect intro and summary of our work thus far. And not only will a CD/download be available, but our first foray into non-musical merchandise will extend into the realms of an accompanying t-shirt.

Exciting times. Look out for further updates sooner rather than later! Take care all...
