Planet Retropop

Blog Posted:6/5/2007 2:57:00 PM

Another project finished. Something new.

Recently I completed recording a collection of original songs with my musical collaborator, Rob. In a world of rampant comercialism and greed, we have no agenda other than to subvert by, primarily, not making any money. Therefore, here's a deal, a free music initiative, a methodology of undercutting that can't really be matched. The album, entitled "Planet Retropop" is one that is designed to sound by turns retrogressive and new in a strange and compelling way. The cues and influences for the songs are obvious and hopefully this instils them with a sort of immediate primal hook type-thang that people will gravitate towards. Hey, they're pop songs, you know.

Samples are available on MySpace - www.myspace.com\thewatercolours

If you like what you hear, email me - bushtony@tiscali.co.uk - and I'll give you details of how to get the full 12 track album on CD for free mailed right to your door. Can't say fairer than that. Can I?

Have you put the words to any of the songs at PoetrySoup? I have such an antiquated computer that I won't be able to access your site or hear the music. Maybe next year ... smile ...
