David Ireland's Website...Cosmic Glue - LIfe Beyond Sint

I've just updated my website with the lyrics of the Christmas single, some ancient history and a few video clips. The clips include a few songs recorded live at Womad in 2012, a radio broadcast and a couple of studio recordings from the 'Cosmic Glue' sessions.

We're concentrating almost entirely on the promotion of 'A Good Old Fashioned Christmas' until the end of the year, then the 'Cosmic Glue' sessions will re-start in earnest at Skyhook Studios.

Eight songs have been recorded so far with four more ready to go. The majority of the songs are new, with a handful being reworked from the 1978 16 track master tapes of the 'Hot As Ice' album. (sadly four songs had been destroyed, but we did discover a complete song I'd forgotten recording!)

The thrill of playing with my younger self was exquisite and the results have surprised everyone. One song in particular uses most of the instrumental and vocal backing tracks, but the melody and lyrics are new giving the song a current relevance. Look out for 'Slow Poison' (based on my novel of the same name: Slow Poison - the novel)

'Cosmic Glue' will be released in the spring of 2014 worldwide.
