about

NB NB NB NB NB NB NB NB NB =
When I tried to name this album I got a pop-up warning from Bandcamp saying that they strongly recommended not including the word "vinyl" in the title because fans might think that when they download the album they'll be getting an LP. So, to be clear, if you download this album I will not be sending you an LP. I've made it a free download - ie it can't be bought - to help avert disappointment/confusion.

This is a very self-effacing unambitious ordinary slack little album, perhaps only the 2nd and final tracks are really good, maybe the penultimate one too. It's one of those lazy albums which I am more fond of than I should be. No idea why. I just like quiet things, ordinary things, ordinary people - like this morning, over in that "Docks" (?) place over in Ocean Village, having coffee with a few nice people, it was nothing amazing, conversation was so ordinary that it even veered over to that old standby of what we'd do if we won 175 euro-millions - and I was and am so ordinary and boring that I couldn't think of anything, nothing, I'd give it to you, I'd make this a pink vinyl LP and send it out - but otherwise I'd not do anything different, just churn out ordinary boring stuff like this - a million years ago I might've ordered the building of vast pyramids in the desert, but I wouldn't want to do that now, I like the thought of the desert being empty, yonks ago when the Taliban blew up those statues at Bamiyan and everyone was shocked about it, I wasn't, I really like the idea of emptiness and quietness and nothing and no one and music as near-zero as this.

.................

(LATER) - I think I've been overly disparaging about this album - coming at it with low expectations and fingers high on the volume knob, it turns out that it is really quite good, and the gentle blips of distortion are nice too)
