The test pressings have just arrived for this very limited edition Gaelic electronic double 'A' side and they sound amazing!
We have had to wait a very, very long time for the records to be pressed up and I hope the mail snail has them loaded up and ready to deliver soon!

The cover image however adequately reflects the label's commitment to the promotion of the album !

Awful cover of 1970album 'J J Jackson's Dilemma'

Awful cover of 1970album 'J J Jackson's Dilemma'

This abysmal effort from RCA was doubly galling as our keyboard player who was also a trained graphic artist had submitted a superb finished cover image of JJ gazing out of a space capsule and making a peace sign - all very relevant in 1970. The whole band were appalled at the final cover . . .

Don't often use soft synths these days but Pigments did find its way onto my most recent album. I am also having fun with the software version of Modwave which has some similar features.

Erica Synths Black Sequencer

Erica Synths Black Sequencer

I have been through so many sequencers (and still have most of them) - Oberkorn 3, SQ-1, Dark Time, Klee, but I am now pretty much only using the Erica Synths Black Sequencer - I have it in a case separate from my Eurorack which makes it more easily accessible!

Patch cords

Patch cords

And this is only about 75% - box of short ones and separate hooks with very long ones! I used to try and use colours - blue/audio, red/gate, yellow/clock, green/modulation but that no longer works with the addition of orange, purple and black . . .

I now remember why I never went for it - having to change the jumpers on the board to set various output configurations. . .

Wow - you don't see too many Vulcan Modulators around these days! Even when I started my modular journey in 2012 Livewire modules were not easily found.

Had hoped to have the 7" vinyl in time for Burns Night but as the man said 'the best laid plans of mice and men . . . But if you can't make the Soho gig head over to Bandcamp for a bit of Gaelic Folktronica with @mccookerybook.bsky.social
