The reason this CD is called "It’s About Time" is because it seemed to
take me ages to get into my stride when recording this one. It needed to be
beaty in places and acoustic in others, there needed to be enough room for
ambient soundscapes and crashing electric guitars. I worked long and hard on
the drum loops and various ideas but the recording process was rather slow.
I became obsessed with perfecting tracks and often rerecorded them from
scratch.
For my 30th birthday I was lucky enough to travel to Los Angeles in the good
ol’ US of A and I arranged to pick up an Ashbory Bass from a local guitar
shop. The Ashbory is a miniature bass instrument with silicon rubber strings
and makes the most amazing noise – it sounds like an upright bass. I put it
to good use on this CD and you can hear it on "Spaced" and my prog reggae
masterpiece "Ragamuffin".
My personal faves from this collection include "Spanish Fly" and "The
Cocksucker Blues".
