| We've had quite a week at Racket - on Monday we all sat down as a group to listen through to the whole double-album as it stands now, and are nearly there with a final running order. |
Happiness is the Road
Album Cover |
| Not only that, we have decided on an album cover! We've been debating several possibilities for the last month or so, but have all finally agreed that the glowing red 'Asylum Satellite 1' really fits the bill. |
| And speaking of Asylum Satellite - we've also just launched a new podcast of sound clips for the album in their nearly-finished state. |
| First, Asylum Satellite 1 - this is taken from the middle of the song where the orchestral crescendo of what most bands would call a "middle 8" leads into the beginning of an extended guitar workout by Mr. Rothery. |
| Next, Happiness is the Road - as you can hear, this has a slight nod to Jamaica but soon launches into a chorus that you won't be able to stop singing after a few listens. Catchy, but not a single as it clocks in at around 9 minutes. |
| Finally, Whatever is Wrong With You? - there's nothing wrong with us. We may be old but we can still rock! |
