Swing out sister almost persuaded torrent download

I suppose there was a turning point — you could say this album was our Pet Sounds. We were so engrossed in the studio; we completely lost ourselves in the music. We concluded the album in the French Alps; imagine the awe of the elements on a mountaintop, under a full moon surrounded by nothing but stars and sky. If Somewhere Deep in the Night drew on the incidental music used in films, then its follow-up was more about the big, catchy numbers that play out during opening and closing credits.

The final major label offering from the group, Where Our Love Grows benefitted from a bigger marketing push than some of its predecessors. We focused on more ballad-esque writing.

It still has a cinematic feel but more like the main theme tunes. Andy changed the rules with the recording as he would rather be writing than producing, but in the ever-changing digital world, recording and writing increasingly happen simultaneously, a kind of record-as-you-go process. This gave the album a more intimate feel. Gina also sang on and worked on the vocal arrangements, which are an integral part of this album. Beautiful Mess received much acclaim from the soul crowd, especially on the Northern Soul scene.

Their tenth album preceded by a special project, Private View , in which the duo performed mainly back catalogue songs with their touring band is a glorious sound-bath, with an emphasis on the marriage of soul and jazz that informed European and American film music soundtracks in the late s and early s.

It has a laidback, summery air about it. Close your eyes as you listen and a panoramic sea view appears. The project began as a PledgeMusic campaign, Moveable Feast , that allowed fans constant glimpses of the album in progress.

It may seem like it took us longer to make due to the ten-year gap, but the writing and recording of this album were interrupted by two tours, one of the USA and one of the Far East, and several festival appearances. We managed to reschedule the tour four years later. We also arranged and recorded an album of our songs with a big band — that was how Almost Persuaded started out. But as we had signed up to Pledge Music, we thought we should make it a brand new album.

The recording process took longer because we made short films to accompany our work in progress, making the journey of this crowdfunding campaign as important as the finished album.
