Solid States [2 CD : Released October 2003 : Northern Echo Recordings : NE 012]   Our November 2002 trip to the USA was a first for the band, and could not go undocumented. We saw the trip as an opportunity to make as much new music as possible, and based our live sets and radio appearances largely around total improvisation. This double set is divided into 'West' and 'East' discs documenting appearances on both coasts. Our set in Claremont, Ca. was recorded on multi-track and the rest of the sessions on the RMI 'mini-mini-mobile'. There are two half hour radio sessions, extracts from our 'Progwest' appearance with drums, while the bulk of Disc Two consists of electronics only pieces from our two sets at St Mary's Church, Philadelphia. With the exception of a live version of the first piece on our debut album, all of the music is new, created in the moment and unrepeatable. The fact that it was recorded in the special circumstances of an American tour that many bands never get to make, is the icing on the cake.   Tracklisting: Disc One (West): 1. Wrecks (18.43) 2. Ants In Me Room (8.17) 3. Black Cloud Over Claremont (8.38) 4. The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Drummer (14.06) 5. 'Ave It!/Erm (26.53) Disc Two (East): 1. I Knew We Were In Trouble When They Taught The Machines To Talk (16.30) 2. Delaware Horseshoe Crab (17.58) 3. International Mass (11.18) 4. (Nov)embers (33.01) Return to Discography Full-Length MP3 : Black Cloud Over Claremont		Time & Motion Featuring guest musician Martin Archer on all things woodwinds, the band takes their foundation of sequencer based material and stretches out the space within the beats (and for some the tracks on the album, there are no beats...so think about all that space!) The band is more interested in letting a scenic vibe come across, and it's one that you might not have expected after hearing an album like Rain Falls In Gray but it's more in the vibe of Philadelphia Air Shot in the idea of taking a starting point of an idea and letting it take control...
