Bootblacks are a postpunk band from New York City
They worked on it for nearly 2 years with Peter Mavrogeorgis in Dollhouse Studios in Long Island, and were lucky enough to have Jim Sclavunos (Grinderman, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) involved on three songs. He produced "The Flood," co-mixed "Unfortunate Rose," and played saxophone on "Machina."
The record is a run of 150 clear vinyl, and 350 black vinyl, hand-numbered, and includes a download card and screenprinted patch.
Null, Ayria, ?) will be handling the worldwide distribution of the upcoming RECOIL Blu-ray 'A STRANGE HOUR IN BUDAPEST'. RECOIL is the project of Alan Wilder, formerly of DEPECHE MODE.
"A Strange Hour" was presented during 2010/2011 in 52 cities across the world as part of the "Selected Events" tour to celebrate 25 years of the RECOIL project. The Blu-ray features the second and last full show of 2010, held in Budapest at the beautiful newly-renovated Szikra venue.
The performance was filmed using the latest high-definition technology in order to capture the event in its full glory.
Alan Wilder gave feedback to rough edits which Atus sent to him whilst Paul Kendall and Alan simultaneously worked on the surround sound mix.
Attila's film is nothing less than stunning and offers a captivating and exhilarating document of "A Strange Hour".

copies will be individually hand-stamped/numbered and the disc will also feature extra promotional films and live projections. All store on-line orders will be dispatched with an exclusive code to receive downloadable
extras such as a pdf art booklet with extra pages, a soundtrack sampler, Recoil 'live' photographs and project wallpapers.
