All of the HappySad Demos from Flicker have now been repaired so you can listen to them again by clicking here. In the coming days we will also repair the demos for The Snail Gauntlet by Flicker.

All of these demos are a sneak preview into the forthcoming HappySad album from Flicker, which we have begun to finalise. Please bear in mind that they are only demos and the quality is therefore not the same as a fully finished and mastered production.

The first track of HappySad by Flicker is It Starts Right Here and this track is finished and available for download from our shop at Bandcamp. You can download It Starts Right Here by clicking here.

Meteor and Gottedamerung are the two latest songs to be added to the Mind Dance collection from Dark Company.

Meteor is a simple acoustic song with Pete playing harmonica and is about the results of a tarot reading. It has an outdoor summer feel and a comical ending with some very strange noises in the background. Further percussion and atmospherics will be added before this song is finished.

Gottedamerung sounds like two completely different songs that have been joined together in the middle. It begins with a drum-n-bass feel and heavy guitars before mellowing to a more melodic groove.

As with the other songs we have added to Mind Dance recently, these versions are still only at alpha stage and require a great deal of work until they are finished. We shall be adding further tracks to the Mind Dance album for you in the coming days so that you can hear how this album is developing.

If you would like to listen to Meteor and Gottedamerung or indeed the entire Mind Dance album as it stands right now, you can do so by clicking here.

Astronomy is a new release from The Bastard Sons of Dennis. It has been added to their Cosy Lube Turtle album and is a cover of a Blue Oyster Cult song, from their 1974 Secret Treaties album. It was also famously covered by Metallica.

Astronomy is the eighth of eleven songs that will eventually make up the Cosy Lube Turtle album. The remaining three tracks are in varying stages of finalisation.

We have uploaded Astronomy to several mp3 players here at Wud Records, including our default player, the The Bastard Sons of Dennis default player, and the Cosy Lube Turtle playlist.

If you would like to listen to the Cosy Lube Turtle album here at Wud Records, you can do so by clicking here.

Astronomy has also been added to our shop at Bandcamp, so you can download this new release from there easily by simply clicking here.

Anyone who downloads unfinished works for 89% or more of the eventual sales price will be sent by email mp3 versions of sonic upgrades and new tracks, as and when they appear – for free! This is like an investment in the recording and allows the investor access to rare ‘unfinished’ material.

Victory Garden and Venturi, the third and fourth upgraded alpha mixes of the forthcoming Mind Dance album from Dark Company, have been uploaded to the Mind Dance page playlist.

Track #3, Victory Garden, is a haunting and amusing look at American politics during the Clinton era and is characterised by its simple melodic guitar lines and beautiful evocative drumming by Sven. It also contains the immortal line “I lost my heart – to an organ bank”.

Track #4, Venturi, is a magical and mystical song of great power with multiple layers of vocal harmonies and wonderful melodic driving bass from Maxx. We have not yet added the wailing guitar feedback or the acoustic instruments.

In the coming days more upgraded alpha tracks will be added to the Mind Dance collection from Dark Company. If you would like to listen to these songs now you can do so by clicking here.

It’s time. It’s exciting!

Over the coming days and weeks we shall be uploading some new material for you all to enjoy, and today we are beginning the uploads of the sonic upgrades for Dark Company‘s Mind Dance album.

The first two tracks of Mind Dance have been uploaded and although still only at alpha stage, i.e. in need of a lot of work in terms of recording and production and mastering, you can at least hear how these songs are developing.

Originally the demos of these songs had the wonderful singing of Sammi on them which contrasted so beautifully with Pete’s vocal style. You can hear these demos of Mind Dance by clicking here, which takes you to the Dark Company Demos page.

The first track on Mind Dance is Beasts and Angels, which opens the album, and it is not a particularly serious song. It starts somewhat strange and then funky and then turns heavier and eventually mutates into utter filth before mellowing to a more soulful feel at the end.

The second track on the Mind Dance album is Slave of Days, which again is more tongue-in-cheek than it seems at first and has a loud punky grungy feel.

It’s been quiet lately at Wud Records due to having the builders in. We have redesigned our studio spaces for better acoustics, more space and improved feng shui. More music will be forthcoming soon.
