MEDEDELING !!
Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

| Omschrijving | 30th June 2023 sees the release of Ingenious
Devices by Big Big Train on their own label
English Electric Recordings.
With the band currently in the early stages of
working on a new studio album for release in 2024,
Ingenious Devices features new versions of a
trilogy of revered Big Big Train epic tracks –
East Coast Racer, Brooklands and Voyager – about
how mankind has used its ingenuity to extend its
reach by the development and deployment of
technology.
The new versions of East Coast Racer, Brooklands
and Voyager prominently feature an elite 17 piece
string section recorded at Abbey Road Studios in
London. Apart from the late David Longdon’s lead
vocals, which have been compiled from the original
album sessions, East Coast Racer is a completely
new studio version recorded by the line-up of the
band as it was in 2019. Brooklands features newly
recorded drums, bass and bass pedals, while
Voyager includes additional guitar and violin. All
three songs have been re-mixed for this release.
Gregory Spawton explains: “I was always happy with
the original recorded version of East Coast Racer,
but adding the strings at Abbey Road gave the song
a further lift and the new recording also features
Dave Gregory’s guitar solo on the closing section,
a solo which has only previously featured on live
performances of the song. I am pleased we now have
the definitive studio version on Ingenious
Devices. The timing of this release also
deliberately ties in with the 85th anniversary of
the Mallard’s speed record which inspired the
lyric.
“By contrast, I was never entirely satisfied with
Brooklands and felt it got a bit overlooked on the
Folklore album,” Spawton continues. “That is
perhaps why we’ve not played the song live yet.
The Abbey Road strings have significantly enhanced
Brooklands and I’m delighted with the outcome. The
changes to Voyager are more subtle but still
elevate the song beyond the version on our Grand
Tour album.”
Additionally Ingenious Devices includes a
previously unreleased orchestral piece called The
Book of Ingenious Devices, which links East Coast
Racer and Brooklands, as well as a live version of
Atlantic Cable, which was recorded on the band’s
tour in September 2022.
Alberto Bravin comments: “Atlantic Cable was
recorded at our second show of the tour last year.
It’s not an easy song to play at all and we were
both amazed and relieved that we pulled it off so
well. I experienced a real baptism of fire playing
that show in front of over 1,000 passionate BBT
fans, but their response to the song and the rest
of our live set that night was truly motivating.”
Nick D’Virgilio says: “Ingenious Devices is a
great way of uniting four of Big Big Train’s epic
songs about technology. The album also celebrates
the wonderful vocals of our late, great friend
David Longdon on East Coast Racer, Brooklands and
Voyager and looks forward to the future with
Alberto putting in such a great performance on
Atlantic Cable.” |
