Now finally have a collection of songs called Inauguration posted at their pages on the Wud Records website. These five songs were recorded on the very first occasion that Now assembled to attempt to play music, back in September 1982. This is the first time for over 33 years that these recordings have been heard.
We hope you enjoy these songs by Now, featuring the fabulous musical talent of Mark Drower and others. To listen, simply click here.
Visitors to the Wud Records website will have noticed that our resident mp3 player, the FlamPlayer, has become utterly broken. A shame as it has served us well for the past six or seven years. This has meant that we have needed to find an upgrade solution and have done so with Soundcloud.
Over the coming days and weeks, the old FlamPlayers at Wud Records will be phased out and replaced by the Soundcloud players. We have established a growing presence at Soundcloud and more material will be added there in due course. We hope you enjoy hearing great music once again embedded into the Wud Records website.
If you are already a member of the Soundcloud community, come and follow us and like some of our tracks. We’ve only been there a few hours so it’s still quite a lonely place! Links have been added to our Links page, including one for our Soundcloud newsfeed, so you can see easily which collections have been repaired or added.
The fabulous links page here at Wud Records has been updated. Some of the pages we were linking to no longer exist or are not supported, and in one case there was something rather nasty attached to a dead page. A few new ones have been added as well.
Pok and Sven both left Wud HQ a short while ago having worked on the drums for We Know You Well, a monster of a piece that will eventually be found on Pok’s Anthology album. Weighing in at over twelve minutes in length, this behemoth has all of us excited as it grows towards its completion. It is one of Pok‘s earliest collaborations along with the awesome talent of Mark Drower.
In the past year or so we have not had much time to work on Pok‘s songs. The last couple of months at least have yielded some progress, with a few successful studio sessions being had and more coming soon.
To listen to Pok’s Anthology album as it stands at present, please click here.
As some of you know already, the Wud Records emails system became somewhat unreliable towards the end of last year and a number of emails from you were lost in the vortices of nilspace, or at best, took an absurdly long time to arrive. This has now been rectified and we are using an entirely new email system, one which seems to work just fine. Hooray!
We have streamlined the email addresses that we use as well, with a lot of our old and no longer active bands coming together under one email, and our active artistes retaining their independent addresses. A new email has been created to deal with archive material.
The ‘Contact’ page at Wud Records has been updated to show all of this and if you wish to get in touch with us, everything should be in order.
If you contacted us some time ago and are still waiting to hear from us, it is likely that your communication was lost so please send it again if possible and accept our apologies.
After a rather prolonged sabbatical to allow babies to be born and grow a little and to do dull and irrelevant things like day jobs, Wud Records plan to return to action in the very near future and have developed a number of new things for you, all of which are in the pipeline.
Behind the scenes many things have continued to take shape with Flicker, Dark Company and Pok the Bard in action in our studios on occasions over the past few months.
There will be more news on all of this and more soon.
