I'm very much moving towards 'DAZZLEBOX' as a strong contender for the first album release of 2021, which will be the second of my Cubase recordings after the upcoming 'NEW VIBRATO WONDERLAND' album. I know this is pushing all the previously recorded but unreleased albums back even further but I'm rather enthused about this one and thinks it's something special.
This will be a totally instrumental album. There are 22 tracks recorded for it so far, so it may even end up being a double album. Here are the titles of the tracks completed, though there may well be a couple of additions later on. This is not a running order, just a list of track titles:
'SLEEPLESS CITY.'
'FOOTSTEPS IN SNOW.'
THUNDER, PERFECT MIND.'
'THE CLOCKWORK LIGHT MACHINE.'
'GREEN TIGER IN THE GOLD.'
'REVERSE ENGINEERING.'
'SELECTATONE.'
'TREMOLA.'
'VENETIAN SUBMARINE.'
'WHEN WE WERE BEAUTIFUL.'
'IN THE REALMS OF THE UNREAL.'
'BILLY'S BLUES.'
'MOONLIGHT RIDER.'
'BLUE SPIN.'
'UNEARTHLINGS.'
'THE INFERNAL MACHINE.'
'ANTIQUE GODS.'
'COVERED IN CHROME.'
'THE MEMORY MUSEUM. (ROOM ONE.)'
'COASTING.'
'AMIGO.'
'OTHERWORLD.'
'
'
Well, I think I've made a final decision about the running order for the 'DAZZLEBOX' double instrumental album. Now I need to choose which mix of each track should go on the album as some tracks have three or four different mixes, (though not radically different, just subtle level or eq differences.)
So, here's an advance peek at the track list/running order.
DISC ONE:
1: ‘ANTIQUE GODS.’
2: ‘SHOW HOME.’
3: ‘ART DECO DANCE.’
4: ‘SLEEPLESS CITY.’
5: ‘IN A STREAMLINED WORLD.’
6: ‘REVERSE ENGINEERING.’
7: ‘WE RUN BEFORE THE WIND.’
8: ‘MY AMIGO.’
9: ‘COVERED IN CHROME.’
10: ‘OUR FRIENDS IN THE STARS.’
11: ‘THE ROAD TO ELSEWHERE.’
12: ‘THE CLOCKWORK LIGHT MACHINE.’
13: ‘OTHERWORLD.’
14: ‘UNEARTHLINGS.’
DISC TWO:
1: ‘SQUEAKY TOYTOWN.’
2: ‘RADIO RIALTO.’
3: ‘NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS RAIN. ‘(FOR HAROLD BUDD.)
4: ‘BLUE SPIN.’
5: ‘VENETIAN SUBMARINES’
6: ‘TWEETIME.’
7: ‘GREEN TIGER IN THE GOLD.’
8: ‘SELECTATONE.’ .
9: ‘TREMOLA.’
10: ‘EXPERIMENTAL EROTICA. (SCENE ONE.).’
11: ‘IN THE REALMS OF THE UNREAL.’
12: ‘BILLY’S BLUES.’ .
13: ‘FOOTSTEPS IN RAIN.’
14: ‘SPY VS SPY.’
15: 'UNDER FADING STARS.'
There are quite a few tracks left out of the above running order which may provide the basis of another album at a later date, we'll see... 😉
