They didn't pick Anyone Else, the record company did.
I totally agree!
Good to know folks. Maybe a future project there!
I'm not sure Jeff, maybe Stephen can answer that one. I know they usually remaster for vinyl specifically.
No, nothing to do with copyright. They just couldn't decide. I think maybe the record company may have had some influence on keeping The Girl With No Ceiling on it, then Wasted got the boot. Not...
Shaman was meant to replace The Girl with No Ceiling, but instead replaced Wasted. The Girl With No Ceiling went around the block so many times, none of us could tell if it was still a great track or...
Sorry, I got it wrong. I completely forgot they recorded Everyone Believes, Life Goes On and Day Off at another studio before they started at mine. Actually Day Off was the first thing they did at my...
That's news to me regarding 'Everyone Believes'. At the moment there's only 2 or 3 that could be released, the others would need serious work. Not sure if they are worth attempting, when so much...
Videos are generally made to back the single(s). I'm pretty sure there will be a second single and most probably a video to go with it. It isn't over yet! lol
Hi folks,
Interesting chat. Lots of great points. To answer some of the above questions. 'Shaman' was written towards the middle/end of our time making the album. (the end of year 2 going into year...
HAHAHA, brilliant! Thanks Robert.
Agreed Jeff! Thanks for the support. I know all those young LGBT people living in America really appreciate it. It's sad state of affairs, when people think their opinion on other peoples...
They are all 4/4.
* last NOTE, not night.
I think it was either a delay, possibly doubling itself up or he's bending the string slightly on that last night. Probably both. He only played that particular note at the end. Me thinks... lol ...
Ahh, 'Hard Times spr'. lol 'Spr' stands for 'sprong'. One of Rupert's sounds. Hard Times, was a track that they work on, the very first time we worked together at my studio. We never really finished...
Agreed Bandit! They've totally helped our cause and have brought people together, through their sheer absurdity! I was hoping they'd see the video. Anyone have any connections to Anderson Cooper? I...
I can't see why not. Specially if you do something creative on the video side with the lyrics. Creativity spawning more creativity is a powerful thing. I think every bit of social media helps. Saying...
Hi guys,
You're doing a wonderful job! I see Anyone Else is now being used in other videos for different causes. This is so important. Fan power pushing the music, album and video, is how success is...
Thanks John! I've always loved the epic side of the Fixx. I think we nailed having a good 'variety' of tracks with this album. Which I think is important. We hit all sides of the coin and more....
Hi Shoeman,
Glad you're enjoying this track. One of my favorites too! This track was recorded fairly early on in the album sessions. It still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I'm...
Well, as a gay guy. My view is, it's never been proven to be biological. Still waiting for real evidence. Which probably goes against every argument the LGBT community has ever made. My position is...
Hi all,
Nick here, who produced the BF album. What happened to that last post from the man celebrating his 3rd anniversary with his husband? Did he delete it? It was well written! Anyway, I'm gay...
Interesting times indeed...
