Flicker: HappySad development

Posted by Wudmaster on 22/08/12

Flicker have been in the studio recently and we are pleased to announce some developments for their long-awaited HappySad album. We are hoping there will be further developments and a track or two to release in the near future.

George and Maxx have been recording some of their parts for Little White Dress, Shooting Star and Minack. Sauce is almost finished and It Starts Right Here has already been uploaded to our shop at Bandcamp as a teaser.

If you would like to hear the old 4-track demos of the HappySad album that Flicker are creating, you can do so by clicking here. If you would like to listen to or download Flicker‘s HappySad album as it stands at the moment, you can do so by clicking here.

Pok: two songs recorded

Posted by Wudmaster on 07/08/12

Two songs by Pok have been recorded these last couple of days and they will become parts of Pok’s forthcoming Anthology collection.

The songs we worked on were two more from the very early days of Pok as a composer, those songs being Young Light and Summer ’83. Apart from a few production issues and some tidying up, these two songs are almost finished and we should be able to release these to our shop at Bandcamp soon.

We have also seen Pok‘s beautifully presented box set of CDs, which are available to order from his Soundcloud page or via his Pook. By clicking on the links just above you will be taken to these external pages concerning Pok.

Wud Records: site maintenance

Posted by Wudmaster on 24/07/12

This is an advance notice that both the Wud Records and Explicit Music websites may be offline for a time on Monday 30th July. This is so that we can blow toothpaste through the keyhole, arrange our socks in alphabetical order and oil the nurdling trunion. Essential work.

Once this is all done we will be able to give you our usual uninterrupted service for a full ten years before having to break out the aforementioned tools once again.

We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing all of you again on the far side of our essential site maintenance.

Wud Records: forums status

Posted by Wudmaster on 13/07/12

We need to give you some news concerning the Wud Records forums status. If you have visited our forums recently, you may have noticed that the forums are disabled and you will be unable to log in or register. Whilst it is still possible to read posts already there, a certain spillage of html code has taken place and our special rubber html cloth appears to be too saturated to wipe it up.

We have been aware of these issues for some time and unfortunately the software behind the forums is no longer supported. This means that we will probably have to install different forum software and transfer everything to the new format. This is not an easy or quick task.

So for the time being, we apologise for any inconvenience. Visitors can always make comments to posts in our ‘News’ service or contact us by email if something needs to be said on some subject.

Updates to the forums status situation will be published in due course. Meanwhile, all we can say is: ‘Flump’. :-|
