I'm really looking forward to this one.

Album Update
So yeah, the album is really in full on mode right now - as mentioned before it's called Paradigm's & Storylines, Stefan Fanden is at the helm for the production and mixing and I got two work in progress song mixes back from him tonight for "Days Like These" and "Yesterday's Fool" I really can't wait for people to hear this album, as sonically it sounds HUGE, which is great as the songs are turning out to be very....well... cinematic, and larger than a large thing that's on make me larger pills. Carl Westholm is providing all the keyboards on this album, so the Swedes have sort of taken over, which is fine 'cos these guys are just incredible musicians - very exciting times
From the snippets Dec's posted on Facebook, the whole process has been going really well. No Difficult Second Album Syndrome, there! I'm really looking forward to this next one.
Excellent news, the first album is a firm favourite, so definitely looking forward to the next :)
Hi guys 'n' girls - thanks for the support on this thread, just wanted to let you know that the new album is sounding great, I'm already getting mixes back from Stefan Fanden who is mixing and producing this one and I'm so happy with how it's sounding - sonically, and songs-wise, this one is a big step forward from DAM, can't wait for peeps to hear it. I sent Jem a few rough mixes and he really liked what he heard, so wish me luck guys - tour in Sept......
lots of love
Dec xx
Nice of you to drop by again.
Really looking forward to this.
Luck! :)
I'm so pleased that "going solo" has worked out so well for you Dec. I'm reallly looking forward to hearing what you ahve up your sleeve....
what they said!! can't wait to hear it!
Likewise, good luck Dec - Got Destroy All Monsters on my amazon wish list - looking forward to hearing the new album too :)
Always nice to have members of team Frost* pop by
Been away for a few days - just seen this:

Not being on Facebook myself (spawn of the devil etc) could someone tip us off when this takes off?
Northampton's easier to get from here than Derby!
Thanks for dropping in! :)
Can't wait to hear it all, been playing a lot of DAM and Darwin's recently, the time is right for a radiant return! :D
Rawk!
No updates on his website yet

Nice vid on there
The new album is due to come out in september and is only seven songs long, does this mean they will be longer and more proggy ? I would love that to be the case, cant wait to hear it. :D
Quote from: "turbo"The new album is due to come out in september and is only seven songs long, does this mean they will be longer and more proggy ? :D
Or maybe it's Radio 2 friendly and only 21 minutes long :lol:
Here we go. (Vit P artwork Brilliant!!)
(//http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x48/peel_bucket/DECBURKE2011Poster.jpg)
This show will be the first gig to feature material from the new album 'Paradigms & Storylines' also material from Destroy All Monsters, some Darwins Radio, and some Frost*
Album is produced by Stefan Fanden of 'Carptree' .
Live Band includes:
Dec Burke - guitar/vocals
Paddy Darlington - keys (ex 'The Urbane)
Tim Churchman - drums (Ark, Darwins Radio)
Hywel Bennett - rhythm guitar
Steve Kightley - bass
lovely stuff as always!!
I'm really looking forward to hearing this. Dec proved on DAM that he had the songwriting skillz (like, innit), so hopefully he'll have nailed the production with PAS. It's going to be a must see gig, I reckon, especially with the amazing performing Matt Stevens as support. 8-)

I shall visit www.decburke.com (http://www.decburke.com) in due course.
I still really want/need to get the rebooted Destroy All Monsters too.
Looking forward to the gig at The Peel. (hmm, should really book hotel...and tickets!) :)

Ordered my copy today, looking forward to hearing what Dec has cooked up for us.

Quote from: "Mikey"A few little Dec reports on his web site
and sporting a Milliontown top too - nice touch! (especially since Dec wasn't even on that album! ;) )
Do we need a roll call for Saturday?
Me
Us
I hope you have a great time. It's rare that I miss a show at the Peel and I'm particularly gutted to miss this one. Dec and Matt. I saw them both at the Peel a couple of years ago and both came off the stage absolutely shattered.
Moi
Really excited about this one :)
Did someone convince Twang to let us in early so that we could spend money over the bar at the Peel rather than anywhere else?
Myself and Wing Commander Fogeyspasm will be there. Can't wait! I hate to go for too long without a visit to the ol' Peel. :D
Quote from: "L33VEY"Did someone convince Twang to let us in early so that we could spend money over the bar at the Peel rather than anywhere else?
You should be able to walk in to the main bar without problem, so you can get sufficiently watered up before the gig.
And you, Mikey! I look forward to meeting you, sir! :)
Tonight YAY !! :)
Go get em, Matt!
Now - which Frost* T shirt should be worn tonight?
It'd be foolish not to celebrate!
Erm...yes...that'll be me foolish then! :)

A bit of Dec live on the Summers End trailer.
That would be me and the boy Pedders blocking the view.
I'm the bald midget in white
Pedders is the collossus,,,, with err Pedro on his shirt
Oooh, shirts with names on....now there's an idea...
BTW if anyone wonders why I appear to not be paying too much attention at some points it's because I was downloading, setting-up and trying to use an Android "chat" client so I could report-in "live" to Gonzo's show! I only did it during that song, honest!
Haven't watched them all yet but at the end of the vid there's a link to the next song, then the next......you get the picture
Pleased to report that Sir Declan of Burkeshire has granted me the world premiere of two new tracks for my show tomorrow. 8-)
epic!!
Sir Dec played a veritable blinder this evening getting Summer's End off to a great start.
Lazuli were impressive and wowed the crowd much as Unitopia did last year.

Mind you I'd be a bit surprised if it had arrived by now
It's just plopped on my mat :D
Yep - it's arrived and to prove it - it's here! :D
EDIT: And was just about to throw the package away when I found something else inside - a signed copy of the DAM remix :o
I'd bought a new one at the Peel anyway, so this one's going somewhere special..

OK - what really happened was I put a note on the payment for P&S saying that I was "in the market" for a copy of the remixed one - wasn't sure that the ones in Dec's shop were new ones.
So him popping a signed copy in the packet means that either:
1) Dec mistook me for the other "Tim L" who Mouses around here; or
2) Dec's a jolly top bloke.
And good to see the Top Frost*ies got credits in the booklet :)
Incidentally - P&S is successfully fighting off competition for airtime in the Frost*mobile from the new ones by Steven Wilson, Steve Hackett, Airbag and Magenta. And tough competition coming up from Kate Bush, Neal Morse live and Coldplay - PS one of these is a joke. :lol:
Quote from: "Mikey"Quote from: "Mouse"it is all kinds of brilliweed. :D

....and getting better and better with every listen, just like a Frost* album :D
Whats all this about a remixed DAM? I'd be very very much interested in one of those if they are indeed available, the mix was the one thing that was holding me back from properly falling in love with DAM the first time, I cant find it mentioned on Dec's website, but this would be most welcome if it exists! :)

One lives in the car, one on my PC, must get around to comparing them.
Matt Stevens, Dec's new one & Steve Hackett permitting :D
I think there are only the remixed ones available now.
I needed to turn down the treble and up the bass on the original, new one is way better on the ears.
There's a track from Dec (from the Paradigms & Storylines album) up on Soundcloud - Days Like These (//http://soundcloud.com/dec-burke/days-like-these).
Plus a very nice review of the album, Dec's Summers End performance and a 2-page interview and pin-up photo in Classic Rock Presents Prog.

Although it looks like someone should send Jerry Ewing a copy of DAM remixed pronto..
Good point - I'll check which version he has.
And who's the band with "a bit of clout in the prog fraternity" that he'll be working with?
Frost* mark 3?
Ah well, that'd be telling... ;)
Quote from: "catherine"Ah well, that'd be telling... ;)
Hangman?
Does it have an O in it?
At present I cannot confirm or deny that.
To be fair the quote says "with people who've got a bit of clout in the prog fraternity".
So, no disrespect to anyone, but I suspect we are talking further afield than in the Frost*iverse....
Quote from: "Pedro"but I suspect we are talking further afield than in the Frost*iverse....
Scary stuff... :evil:
And interesting :)
Album is really good... and big thanks again to Dec for getting it to me after the first one went missing.
Crumbs - I have to go to the Fishtank to see who Dec's new bass player is!
As if you couldn't guess. :P Who else is it going to be?! :lol:
Exciting news!
The vinyl version of Paradigms & Storylines will be available very soon from www.decburke.com (http://www.decburke.com) :D

Booo !!!!!!! I thought it was going to be some dates
8th July in Kingston?
I shall check this out now. Thanks. :)
Playing at the House of Progression festival along with Tinyfish and It Bites on the 8th; the festival also has IQ, The Tangent and Sean Filkins on the 7th.
Weekend early bird tickets will be available end Feb; £50 I think.
Quote from: "L33VEY"And who's the band with "a bit of clout in the prog fraternity" that he'll be working with?
Frost* mark 3?
A reasonable guess as it happens - Dec with JJ and Colin Leijenaar, Neil Morse's European band leader.

New liveband Dec Burke
Posted on Wednesday, 15th February 2012
Former Darwin's Radio star Dec Burke will play some shows in support of his strong current release "Paradigms and Storylines" and also it looks like he's finally got a new group project on the go:
"Im doing a new group this year with Collin Leijenaar, the live drummer with the Neal Morse band and
former Frost* überbassist John Jowitt, who's playing on my solo project too. At this moment I have some
ideas, but I'm hoping we will write as a band."
The project is as yet untitled bit Dec is making all the right noises. "It's going to be in a more proggie vein, more technical playing, Spock's Beard/Frost* territory. We've had a couple of jams and I'm very exited about this one, I think it'll be good. We could very well have an album's worth of material by the end of the year, and we'll certainly do some promo gigs and see how it's received."
08 July – Kingston Upon Thames (UK)
(Celebration Fest with It Bites, Magenta and Tinyfish)
P&S now available in vinyl at http://www.decburke.com (http://www.decburke.com) although the price did make my eyes water.. :roll:

Plus a mystery keyboards player who's "a bit good". Anyone fancy owning up?
Quote from: "Dec's website"Writing away furiously for the new album which Patrick and I are writing & producing together.
Andersson/Burke Project:Is gathering momentum. 4 songs on the drawing board, working titles: Lie to Me - Fading Away - Closure - Out there in the Silence
This is shaping up to be a very cool album, catchy pop/rock songs......you'll love it :-)
Jowitt/Leijenaar/Westworth/Burke project: Prog, prog & more prog, this is a full on prog rock assault, the writing going great!
Other news: I've contributed a guitar solo to a song on Simon Godfrey's upcoming project.
That's about it for now, I hope to meet some of you at the upcoming UK dates

A busy man! Looking forward to all this new stuff, his two solo albums are quite quite brilliant :)
Pleasant surprise to find this is due out.
Hadn't heard anything about it.

Everlasting From The book of secrets, Dec Burke (http://www.progrock.co.uk/acatalog/Dec_Burke.html#aP18507)
& the boy's got a new website, not much there yet, unless you want some guitar lessons

Everlasting is great - having liked Dec's previous solo efforts (and his Frost* contributions) have duly ordered!!!
Not sure if some of this material is repurposed from the 'Brave New Sky' project which also featured TBE but seems to have disappeared ??
I believe Brave New Sky became Audioplastik with a different drummer. Not Sure what happened to the track Silence that they previewed on YouTube though...
