All
these tracks were recorded on the 5th of February 2003
in a few hours. I do this pretty fast these days. Again,
it has pretty long tracks which move slowly, 'reasons
you gave' in particular has a lot of, like, spaaaaaaace,
man. The album title came from my visit to Opatija,
where I found out that over there 'nada' means 'hope',
and in spanish it means 'nothing'. So it's really fuckin'
deep. 'Constellation' was named after one of the big
US aircraft carriers that is about to go and bomb Iraq
to fuck, but it's also a reference to the Montreal
post-rock label I nick many of my ideas from. 'Nada'
sounds a lot like Godspeed, if there was only one of
them. Which there's not. 'Pyskick' comes from Phoenix
Nights, as comedy fans will no doubt have spotted,
although the song itself is not brimming with Northern
humour, being as it is a short piece of experimental,
um, fucking around. The vibrating backround noise bits
sound a bit like 'Aether' by The Necks, which proves
that, if nothing else, I can drop obscure references
like a mo'fukka. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with this
CD, so ner.The acoustic CD was done on the same day,
and no-one's having it except me and Tina cos it was
part of her birthday present, so if you want this you
only get the first CD. Sorry. The CD features a couple
of tracks that were due to go on the album ('fire this
time' and 'variable geometry'), but which I couldn't
get to sound any good on my shitty electric guitar.
The final track features a phone call by some idiot
from an insurance company. Fuckers. Anyway, the fact
it was a surprise present meant I couldn't ask Tina
to design the artwork, so I botched it together out
of some pics she took in Sale last November which I
'chalk and charcoaled' in MS Photo Editor cos my printer
doesn't like colours. So, sorry about that, too. |
