Details:
A five year gap since the previous Strangefates album: There were several band reunions inbetween, including the infamous ''Melt my Fridge'' Sessions at Oakland Road Studios, Sheffield in 2004 with Silent vocalist Johnny turning up out of the blue (considered lost at sea) taking photos of the band playing in Rob''s front room. Some of these tracks were the basis for the ''Silent Ghosts'' Album. Johnny''s sepia photos are currently being tracked down after being stolen from the local Curry House outside the ''Blue Ball'' pub in Hillsborough. A reward of two onion bhajis, a Chicken Korma and a Gallon of Kingfisher Lager is still on offer. Many fakes responded with photos of people in alien suits playing cardboard guitars.
Dave and Rob decided it was safer to meet in Polish restaurants from then on, eating Hungarian Pancakes, and beetroot soup whilst drinking Brock beer followed by Cherry Vodka shots. This severely affected the band''s work rate, but resulted in sessions with a more relaxed pace. "Eat Your Dreams" is an example of this process. Dave had to be strapped to his chair whilst recording this song after a night of Polish Icecream covered in sugerlumps soaked in Bison Vodka which was set alight.
It also represented work which included synthesizers for the first time. Dave invested in the celebrated Propellerheads Reason software to try and discover a range of ambient noises to embellish the new Strangefates tracks with. Some pure electronic sequences were recorded 2004-6 and then later overdubbed by the ever faithfull drummer And.D. The snare on his electronic drum kit was not always triggering which resulted in strange but cool time signatures.
On putting the drum kit together again, yet more spare parts seemed to exist. However, And.D was able to record Shine (Drum remix) which received very good feedback from unsigned band websites and even entered the charts remaining in the top 20 for six weeks. Dave had posted a number of tracks on the internet for feedback and advice on the production. Responses from a Country singing truck driver from Utah, and a Harlem Rapper helped shape the album.
Snippets of some early electronic tracks were brought back to life by Dave to use as breaks inbetween heavier tracks.
The result was considered to be a long awaited success, bringing real life fans and virtual world users together. Long live Strangefates.
