Cosmic Glue Time Travel Sessions

Well...I finally began the last phase of the Cosmic Glue sessions...

Monday evening found me singing new lyrics to a couple of my 1977 'Hot As Ice' master tracks. There was an eerie normality about    singing in 2013 with my younger self harmonising and singing back-ups.

The engineer could hardly hear the difference. I could hardly hear the difference either. (I don't have an operatic voice - so there was little that was going to change - plus I still have whatever range I used to have)

The musicians from '77 haven't met the 2013 guys, but the blend is seamless. Last night there was my good friend Jan Stavinoha playing his exquisite bossa nova 1977 guitar with my new friend Chris adding a little 2013 Getz to the track. Sublime!

There are some more of the 'old ' tracks to vocalise and then we're on to the mixing phase. The new guys will be going out on the road with me too...there is indeed life in the old dog yet!

I'll add a little snippet of sound to keep you going...there will be much more soon...

Cosmic Glue - Worlds Collide...

I'm crashing toward completion on the Cosmic Glue project.

I have a couple of studio dates next week when everything comes together. The definitive vocals will be added to both new and old songs.

I've stripped back some of the 1977 recordings to their essence so that I can build them as though they were completely new recordings. It seems to be working.

Songs that seemed fixed in stone have taken on new characteristics, a new freshness and relevance.

Some of my current collaborators are working with me on tracks from both eras, making the link complete.

I'm in touch with some of the 1977 crew and who knows what might happen when the album is released... I rule nothing out.

There will be some selected concerts throughout the year with a full-blown tour in 2014.

Those Peter Pan Pills I took back then have kept my inner self as young as ever... (it's only the mirror that reminds me of the passing years)

I've added a few new images and a clip of a work-in-progress song from Cosmic Glue.

Technology has given me the chance for a little taste of Time Travelling...you should try it too!
