1977. A year that changed everything for me.
I remember seeing the Advert's performing Gary Gilmore's eyes on Top of the Pops.
Loved TV Smith's song writing. I still do. He's been more than a little influence on me.
23 years later and a chance meeting between us online and i was helping arrange a show in Coventry for a now solo TV Smith.
We started recording a collaborative version of Gary Gilmore's eyes in my studio. It wasn't the right time for me and the project lay shelved for 14 years...
Until another chance meeting online between me and our old Antler records label boss Roland Beelen. We talked music as we never had the chance to back in the late 80's when ATTRITION were signed to Antler. We shared a love for the Adverts and i mentioned this long forgotten project.
Now lying in state on obsolete hardware somewhere at the back of The Cage Studios storage.
It had to be completed. and it has. finally. and we both love it. and Roland and KGB have created some fine reworkings for this release.
So here it is: "Let's do it"...

Fear Incorporated, a theatre macabre- avant garde- baroque rock' n roll band, released a video for the song 'Sweeney Todd'. A song from their upcoming forth album: Cloak and Dagger. Come into the world of ville villians like Jack the Ripper, Sweeney Todd...
From Academy Award® nominated director Stephen Frears (The Queen, Philomena) and producers Working Title (The Theory Of Everything, Everest, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), comes the true story of the meteoric rise and fall of one of the most celebrated and controversial men in recent history, Lance Armstrong.
Based on the award winning book “Seven Deadly Sins” by David Walsh, and featuring a stellar cast including Ben Foster, Chris O’Dowd, Guillaume Canet (Tell No One) and Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad), this tense and suspenseful thriller looks at how one of the greatest deceptions in the modern era was uncovered while Armstrong convinced the world he was a hero, winning the Tour de France seven times.
Khost is Andy Swan (Iroha, Final, Atrocity Exhibition), and Damian Bennett (Carthage, Deathless).
Corrosive Shroud is the second album from Birmingham band khost, following the 2014 debut Copper Lock Hell. The album has a singular theme: inside the hand-me-down concrete relics in which we necessarily live and from which we draw perceptions. The music is the sound of lightless blocks, oxygen-starved sheds and apparitions, using stark and unrefined found sounds stacked against Khost's massively detuned guitars. The album includes Eugene Robinson of Oxbow and Syan who add their stories to the narrative, along with personnel Jo Quail, Daniel Buess, Gustave Savy and featuring a contribution from Tel Aviv-based Hostage.
They came from all over Africa. Across inhospitable country, war-zones, through deserts and savannahs, dodged corrupt police, violent and ruthless human traffickers and people smugglers, to make their escape, travelling like sardines in all manner of makeshift and unseaworthy vessels and boats… Discovery by the authorities, violence, robbery, risking their life savings and, ultimately, the very real threat of death are among the daily perils they face…
The tortuous journey of one group of Africans desperate to reach a new life is powerfully told in new documentary Adrift: People Of A Lesser God.
2015 has seen unprecedented numbers of African migrants making desperate voyages across the sea to seek refuge and a better life in Europe. Their plights, and the tragedies that so often accompanied them, make headlines across the globe. This is the story of one group for whom risking their lives is a necessity…
Directed, filmed and presented by multi Pulitzer Prize-nominated undercover journalist, Dominique Mollard, Adrift is the inside story of an incredible odyssey. This incredible documentary follows Mollard as he sails 38 African migrants, including a mother and baby just five months old, out of West Africa on a fraught quest to reach the safe shores of Europe.
They’d do anything to leave behind the poverty of their homeland, but adrift in the Atlantic Ocean, they soon realise that the sea is far larger and scarier than they ever imagined. This never seen before, eye-opening account makes its debut on DVD on 20 July 2015, courtesy of Simply Media.
