Dalham made the quarter final [out of an original 128 records]
Winner was ‘Decadence’ by Gong Expresso - a quiet breezy jazzy affair, that kept revealing more each time I played it
Glad to hear you’re recording fresh ear-cocktails

Ooh that isn’t bad!
I hadn’t heard Decadence before but I love it, a worthy winner I’d say.
Test pressings of Heat Death arriving in around a week!
That’s good news, hopefully they’ll be fine and beat the completion of your new album!
Yeh ‘Decadence’ is an LP that doesn’t really reflect any modern genres, but it grows on you the more you play it
I often judge music by the ‘12 months’ rule i.e. if you’re still playing it and loving it after a year then its probably a good 'un
Just looking through this year’s ‘record shop day’ releases, as I feel morally obliged to buy something

Finally, a release date! May 31st. Have to say, I’ve got the finished article in my hands and I’m really proud of this one!
Just thought
Who will be stocking the new release, is it limited numbers again?
I think Normans of Leeds had it and the first one, but I might be wrong
Jean-Marc
Yes limited numbers again. Hopefully Norman records will be stocking it but if not you can get it from the label’s bandcamp as well 
Love the new album, sounds a bit ‘richer’ than the first two if that makes sense
Hopefully it sold out like the first two?
Any plans for some gigs? Not that I suppose you’d be visiting the wilds of the Highlands & Islands!
Jean-Marc
Thanks Jean-Marc. I’m definitely still exploring and trying to improve the sound of the music I make but it can be quite hard to be objective when you’re in the midst of working on something. I was aiming for a fuller sound so glad you heard the difference.
No firm plans for live gigs, a couple of vague possibilities, but not in Scotland I’m afraid! Next thing on the horizon is to get the next record out!
Just listening to Heat Death now having read about it in Electronic Sound - it’s fantastic!
Thanks McGarnagle. I didn’t know it had been reviewed. Was that in issue 55? Would love to get a copy for myself!
Current issue - number 56. Arrived through my door just yesterday.

Shame the vinyl’s sold out already or I’d have grabbed one. Shame for me, anyway - I’m sure you’re fine with it having sold so quickly!
Haha yes I’m sorry you missed out, but equally I’m very pleased it sold so well!
Hopefully you’ll catch the next one.
