What-hey!
In just under 8 weeks, I shall be premiering a new Frost track!
To celebrate 10 years of that most excellent online bakery of all things prog, The Dividing Line, they're having a weekend of celebration on the 4th and 5th of April. I shall be performing the Esoteric version of Snowman and by way of a thank you and to mark the occasion, I've decided to write a new Frost track called...."The Dividing Line"! It's just such a total prog phrase that it would be churlish to not jump in with both feet. :D
I think with a title like that I need to make it fairly significant so expect some length and some girth. Ark ark...
Johnny M's up for playing on it so hopefully I can get the rest of the clan involved too. Think of it as like one of last year's Dr Who specials. :D
I shall, of course, be commencing a Frost report.
Onwards!
Jx
What absolutely splendid news! :D
After a long day at work, that's just the sort of excellent news I needed to hear - looking forward to it and thank you! :D 8-)
Would it be churlish to mention that Genesis beat you to a prog song called The Dividing Line on the Calling All Stations album? :P
Hip Hip.......
well if you've been suffering from the winter blues that is definitely something to cheer you up hey. :D
HURRAH! :D
Awesomeness.
By the way, who exactly is in "the clan" these days?

Is that a euphemism? ;)
Excellent news!
Top. With a title like that expect a 15 min epic in three parts... at least :)

NDV's Mum bought a copy too...
Awesome news!
Was this announced anywhere else? I just happened to catch people talking about it on Twitter. :)
RAWK!!! can't wait!
but I will. :¬ )
Fantabulous news ! ... and welcome back online :D
AWESOME! I just poured myself a beer and got a plate of some lasagna I made the other night.
Such delightful news to read whilst stuffing ones alchohol buzzed face.
We needn't ponder the fact that a FROST* song by the same name will actually be better.
In fact, I think genesis are actually copied FROST*
I truly believe the conspiracy that Mr. Banks and Mr. Rutherford have their own time machine and
went into the future to find a new song title and heard the live internet show. They heard this incredible band playing an amazing song and decided to "steal" the song title and bring it back
to the year 1997 and use it for their own lame composition.
Unfortunately they went too far forward and missed the time period when they found
the album sucked a**.
but thats just me, I could be wrong ;)
Top news!!!!
And from memory 'the clan' for recording would be Jem, JM, Dec, Nathan and TBE (think it was 'live' work he semi-retired from!!!) ??
Or possibly not :?:

Hopefully that'll be us, yes. Andy's been very busy lately so he may or may not be up for it. If he's not, I'll be drum boy. Not a patch on TBE obviously, but I can play in 7/8 so it's not all bad. :lol:

Now I'm confused ... Is Alex out of the picture already? I thought he was going to be the live replacement for Andy, but couldn't he step in on the recording side as well, if Andy can't make it? Or did I miss a memo regarding Alex's status?
Not doubting your progulicious 7/8 licks for a second, Jem, but just trying to keep this all straight in my increasingly-aged brain (thank you, Catherine) :?
In any case, spiffing news regarding the new track, of course ... :D
:?: You're confused!!! Who exactly is playing bass may I ask?
And just what is wrong with Calling All Stations? :!:
:roll: :lol:
Right, Alex was due to stand in for the live gigs last summer. Andy said he was still fine for recording. However, he's a very busy boy at the moment so I can't guarantee he'll be around for recording The Dividing Line. Alex was very busy last summer with Glastonbury and Squarepusher and so on and as a result was a bit patchy on being able to a) do the gigs and b) make any rehearsals so I told him not to worry about it and Andy filled in as a last favour for the Dream Theater shows. Alex got a big of a bag on about it so it was left at that. No hard feelings and good luck with the future.
Nathan King replaced John Jowitt last summer and is Frost's bass player.
JM and DB will be taking part in the new recordings as I hope will Nath.
I think the best way to view Frost is in a similar manner to Peter Gabriel's band. Or Zappa. There is freedom to add and subtract people every now and then as and when required, but it's not really a question of being in or out of the band, it's more to do with availability, suitability and time. Sometimes it's quicker to work on my own, sometimes only a couple of the chaps are required, sometimes it's the whole enchilada. Either way, Frost is more of a collective than a hard and fast set of the same humans. Sometimes, I'm not in it either! :lol:
Does that put everybody in the blinding glare of understandment? :D
Major news, everyone: Jem's not in Frost* any more ... ! :shock:
( ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) )
No, seriously, thanks for that update, Jem: very clear. I shall now think of Frost* as a hippy commune or a music-based kibbutz, rather than a band. Means it's only a matter of time before I get to play triangle on a song, right? :D
I've got a 7' single of me, playing glockenspiel, on a track featuring the one and only Johnny Morriss. I believe I'm playing triangle on the b-side of it.

Triangle players are always welcome! :lol:
Quote from: "Jem"Triangle players are always welcome! :lol:
To be consistent with the New Way With Music, I shall record just one note from my trusty triangle and send it to you by email to be used as a sample. After making my debut on Frost*'s next LP in fully multi-tracked, polyphonic, hypersonic mode, I can then be invited to the next gig to reprise my note live, and immediately retire after my singular moment of glory.
I can almost taste the champagne already! :D
Anyone else want to join our burgeoning Frost* Triangle Synthesis, purveyors of fine notes to the world ... ? Twenty of us could surely pull off Hyperventilate ... ;)
By the way, Nice to have you back Jem!!!!
:D

And very nice to be back. :D
Well if you're ever short of a guitarist on short notice, you can always give me a shout ;)
I think you'll find twas Jem who conceived of The Dividing Line, but mistakenly uttered the title to Banks and Rutherford whilst on a pocket sun/Tardis romp through the 90s. And The Dividing Line took its name from Banks and Rutherford, ergo we've come full circle and Jem's kept the fabric of time from unraveling... again.
As I recall, Nick D'Virgilio played on a track or two on "Calling All Stations." I may still have my copy somewherst. But, now Nick's run off and joined the Cirque-us. Hopefully, he won't be forced to wear anything frilly.
Quote from: "Jem"http://www.thenewcube.blogspot.com/
Update! :D
BARSE indeed. Now, how long do the Frost*ie troops have to decode the secret and no doubt hugely profound (as in "How many roads must a man walk down?" profound) message you've hidden in the title:
The Dividing Line - UPADTE! ;)
Oh bollocks. Typing in a hurry again. :lol:
Woo hoo! :)
I think that about sums it up :D
BARSE-oon!!!
Toot toot!
(But I must say that I'm rather disturbed that no-one is asking the obvious question, namely, why has Simon Cowell, under the pseudonym of gr8gonzo, been posting in this forum? I think we should be told.)
Splendiforous news on the new track, can't wait to hear it :D
Oh, Jem, found you a new drummer:

At last some good news...happy days
It's going to be interesting to see how this 'online festival' works out...but on behalf of the DLBN DJs, Jem, thanks so much for penning something specially :) I know that Da Bishie will be highly chuffed...
Da Bishie?
Shawn Bishop, station founder.
Ah, OK, I thought it was a cryptic reference to the inhabitants of The Fish Tank aka the tinyfish forum, particularly as "fish" are always referred to as "bish" in our house after my younger son was unable to pronounce "f" but was particularly keen on "bish bingers".
A bit late, so WOOHOO marvelous can't wait and I like Calling All Stations and fish fingers. I think that covers everything so far. 8-) :mrgreen:

You're very welcome mate. I have to say this new track is turning out to be an absolute belter. Could well be a 10 minuter. :D
yeeehaaa!! thats sounds very good! 10 minutes of proginess.
Only 10 minutes?!
Quote from: "catherine"Only 10 minutes?!
it's called "Thousandtown".
Ah, OK, thanks. For a moment I was worried it might be "Dark Grey Light Machine".
Majorly good progress tonight on The Dividing Line. TBE's agreed to drum it and I got up to about 6 minutes 30 of music today...and that's before the whole instrumental section that I've got planned goes in.
I might have to expand the predicted minutage. 12-15 minutes now?? :D
There is some properly cool stuff going in here. It's sort of like a Black Light Machine 2. :lol:

Where's the drool emoticon? Cannot wait for this track. I'm loving these "no Frost*" years so far.

Ohhh there's lovely!

Is this sudden spurt of progress to do with relocating to off site haven or the looming deadline ?
Either way ... Hussah ! :D
I dunno really, the old floodgates have opened at last. I'm writing lots of it in my head while still in bed first thing in the morning.
I sent a bit to Dec and he said -
"The song sounds huge bud, it's more Milliontown in it's feel. I can imagine this being a real show-stopper live."
I sent a bit to Mitchell who said -
"That sounds insane!! :-) I love the whole slightly unhinged sound to it all...right up my strasse!!!"
So I think we've got something pretty special cooking up here. I'm taking the sound into new waters yet again, but it's still deffo Frost. Mad mad Frost. :lol:
That's what we like to hear! Sane Frost* would be a poor shadow of the real thing.
Sounds jolly exciting - will this track be a one off purchase type thingy?
Quote from: "Jem"I'm taking the sound into new waters yet again, but it's still deffo Frost. Mad mad Frost. :lol:
Crikey, I just had a sudden image of the Frost* chaps on one of them ye olde tall ships, dressed in old red British naval gear brandishing swords and ploughing the thing through crashing waves and cannon fire going "Tally-ho!" I need to lay off the strong cheese...
I suppose we would tolerate a raw snippet via Dividing Line Report if you insist.
Well it would prolly sit nicely alongside the B-sides (and an EIMA remix kit?) on a luverly little CD in a cardboard wallet (like the tour CDs)...but this is not a Frost* year, is it? :)
It's not a Frost year no, and I can't sell you TDL as it currently stands for reasons that will become abundantly clear in time.
However, as you say Pedders, seeing as I need to finish the EIMA b-sides too, I'm sure some sort of limited edition thingy could become a distinct possibility. Truth be told, I'm rather itching to do a few gigs later this year so maybe that could all tie in with the autumn or winter or summat. :D This new song is so utterly and totally a perfect show opener that I rather feel it needs to be heard through a PA at some point.

Zoetermeer, please!

Could we fill it do you think?
Quote from: "Jem"It's not a Frost year no, and I can't sell you TDL as it currently stands for reasons that will become abundantly clear in time.
That's intriguing. The folks at TDL going to be selling it by chance? I trust the song is to become their anthem, played at the top of every hour for the foreseeable future.
Quote from: "Jem"Truth be told, I'm rather itching to do a few gigs later this year...
You can probably get some ointment for that... but we'd rather you didn't!
Quote from: "catherine"Quote from: "Jem"Truth be told, I'm rather itching to do a few gigs later this year...

Indeed, be rash...be very rash!!
Quote from: "Jem"Quote from: "Trapezium Artist"Zoetermeer, please!

That's a very good question, Jem, and to be honest, since I'm a new boy in town, I'm not sure. I do know it's a very popular prog place in the Netherlands and I do know we have a fair number of Dutch fans on here, but adding two and two together together to get to two hundred is a bit beyond my powers of prognostication (sorry, couldn't help it 8-) )
Hopefully some of the other locals will pitch in. You could also ask JJ and/or TBE, since I understand that IQ are very well favoured at Zoetermeer. Magenta are coming on May 1st as well, so might be worth a chat with Rob. In any case, I promise to buy at least four tickets, if my kids are allowed in as well as me and the missus.
(Oh, and just as a reminder: if you visit Zoetermeer, I'll do what I can to get you in one of our big spacecraft anechoic chambers at ESA ;) )

I've been calling the new track "The Dividing Line", trouble is, now the lyrics are starting to take shape, I think it actually needs to be called "Liars".
I'll have to get "the dividing line" into the lyrics by way of an apology. ;)
The Dividing Liars?
Quote from: "catherine"The Dividing Liars?
Speaking of liars, I've just finished listening to Episode 50 of The European Perspective on The Dividing Line (catching up as fast as I can, Wilf, honest! :D ), and there was this bloke called Jem Godfrey on there telling us that 2010 would be a Frost*-free year.
I'll forgive him this one time, mind ;)
But hold on, what's this I see on The Dividing Line's web page?
QuoteMark your calendars. In April 2010 The Dividing Line will celebrate its 10th anniversary. To commemorate this awesome milestone in our history we will be presenting a very special event: a virtual Progressive Rock festival! Similar to the "Live & Interactive" broadcasts we have featured in the past, this event will consist of live performances by some of our favorite progressive rock artists. Each of the featured bands will play a full set from their respective locations while broadcasting to you via our server. The DLBN TEN REVOLUTIONS Virtual Festival will take place on April 3rd and 4th 2010, with 4 bands playing on each of the two days. Confirmed acts include:
IZZ . JEM GODFREY (FROST*) . THE TANGENT . BUSHWHACK
MAHOGANY FROG . SINGULARITY
and just confirmed, PORTAL
A full set, live? On your own, Jem, or with the rest of Frost*? When exactly?
We'll be able to tell if you're miming, Jem. ;)

I just googled "Liars" for images and found the most ghastly CD cover which I cannot post in a place like this. Be warned, not safe for work, young eyes, or indeed sanity. But I feel I must ask whether the new Frost* track contains "Slamin beats"...
If you really must see it, here it was. Edit - Link now removed for reasons of good taste and decency.
"It fit when I was a kid"
hahahaha
I had a dream I heard an early, unmixed version of the new track last night. The only thing I can remember is that it rocked. 8-)
Quote from: "rogerg""It fit when I was a kid"

Hmmm, Rog, may I venture a guess that, despite all Catherine's protests, you did indeed click through on that link?
Of course, the only way I could know that for sure was if I had also done so :shock:
Catherine: for all that you felt that the image at the end of that link was beyond the pale and that we shouldn't look at it, you went to great lengths to persuade us (via the Br'er Rabbit "don't throw me in the briar patch" inverted strategy) that we should. Odd, no? ;)
I have seen the error of my ways and removed the offending link. I have also given my mind a good wash with soap.
Quote from: "catherine"I have seen the error of my ways and removed the offending link. I have also given my mind a good wash with soap.
Ummm, that wasn't actually what I was aiming at, to be honest. I suspect most of us on here are more than old enough and broad-minded enough (we're prog fans, after all :D ) to be able to handle such things without running to the hills screaming, accusing you of acts of turpitude.
I personally couldn't give a damn what consenting adults get up to in privacy, regardless of how many and of what gender(s) they are. Well, actually, in some cases, I could very well give a damn, but only because I might (theoretically, mind you) be interested in joining in.
Nope, it was more just my wicked curiosity, intrigued at your underlying motives / interests ... ;)
No matter how old or broad the mind there are (and should be) limits. Nuff said.
I feel like I've missed something ?! ;)
Quote from: "Dave M"I feel like I've missed something ?! ;)

Quote from: "Pedro"No matter how old or broad the mind there are (and should be) limits. Nuff said.
I agree totally and that's just as it should be. Trouble is we all have different limits, fortunately on here we seem to respect that and behave rather well. Gold stars all round 8-)
I concur. The people on this forum are largely on the same page when it comes to being respectful toward one another and what's appropriate with regard to forum etiquette. Yes, we all have varying levels of offendability, the overlap being the width of...the dividing line.
well, I have certainly seen worse, but respect is always good!

I'm trying VERY hard to be a good boy and not release bits here and there in advance, I want this to be a proper premiere. It's very difficult though coz I'm so vibed about the track. :D
I'll come clean, the as-yet un named guest is the fantabulous Tara Busch. I've asked if she'd mind giving a tremendously dramatic speech through a megaphone (I did say this track was bonkers :lol: ). She's tweeting the world, but not replying to my email so maybe the Frostiverse doesn't float her boat. My fingers are still crossed however...
Whatever happens, she's still cool. :D
You could always tease us with discarded bits ... the crumbs :D
Go on .... you know you wanna !
....and why not? (as Barry Norman would say) It's not just the New Cube that could use a little Pre-Mix! ;)
Come on, Mr Godfrey! Give us a little teaser! :lol:
5.1 mix?!! :shock: :D 8-)

5.1 mix? That's what comes of getting your photo taken with Steven Wilson.

Blimey, I am getting confused: just how many places
do you blog, Godfrey?!
I mean, I've come to expect to get my news (as in Here Comes The etc.) from TVFTC, but now DS is pointing us off to some blog what where I've never (knowingly) bin before. Argh. How's a (m/f)an to keep up, dammit? :shock:
Never mind that - how come 30 odd people have listened to the new stuff on the MySpace page without telling us???

And there's a special one at the end for you Mouse - now excuse me while I go and change the underwear that I've just ruined from laughing so much.. :lol: :lol:
Sounds like Christina Booth to me :) Glitch-tastic stuff.

Are you kidding me? Is there some kind of viral campaign at work here (or more's the point, not here, but everywhere else)? Am I alone in feeling slightly tweaked that the latest and greatest is not actually to be found here on the "official" forum, but elsewhere? :?
But if nothing else, it has saved me from listening to any previews: I hate doing that, wanting to hear the final thing when it's done completely fresh, no expectations. Anyway, didn't Jem say he was strongly resisting the urge to post anything prematurely?
Ooh, and with that, I'm a Cadbury's Chocolate Finger. Ta da!
A proud moment, I'm honoured, and I couldn't have done it without the support of all of you wonderful people. I'd like to thank my manager, my accountant, my therapists (Catherine and Nellie), and ...
(It's Oscar weekend :D )
Congratulations on your Chocolate Fingerhood, TA! Onwards and upwards!
Well, Attack of the Chocolate Penguins is also known as Broadband Tom and wasn't the Mouse song called Fit? Not new music, just new names.
I've quickly become a fan of Deep Ocean, though, and o'neder could that be added to the Toys section?
grats, TA!!
and holy shit, Batman! new music?
Deep Ocean rocks.
Yeah, thanks to that little trip down memory lane, I've set my ringtone to Broadband Tom and message alert to the first few seconds of the "Survivors" vox section of Milliontown. Fun times.

There's a good reason for that! ;)

It's Frost's
Official MySpace page, what are you talking about? ;) :lol:

Ta love. I did it for a bit of a laugh one morning.
The track's off Tina Booth's new album although the actual version sounds nothing like
that. I have done an "official" v2 remix that'll be a bonus track on the album and again, it sounds nothing like the MySpace one. The v2 remix was the last thing to be done in the old Cube, I literally finished it and started unplugging everything, so it'll always be a little spesh to me. Ah...
Curses! I'm reading all this on my phone, so can't listen to the new stuff! :(
glad to see the site back though. :)
Just listend to Deep Ocean nice work work Mr G :D

You are not alone TA mate. I often get totally confused on here wondering where all this information is coming from. Just how do folk do it?, residing on several different forums, monitoring myspace, etc. I have tried muti-forumming and feel megga guilty about abandoning the Touchstone forum and joining the Tinyfish forum and never going back, but there are simply not enough hours in a brom day to keep up. Maybe I'm doing something wrong??
Then again....Maybe its our age! :?

:lol: Don't worry mate, it all trickles back here in the end. :D
aah I feel spring has sprung....looking forward to it
I don't want anything trickling in the end.

It's Frost's Official MySpace page, what are you talking about? ;) :lol:
I know, Jem, but like Brom, there's only so many different Frost*ie places I can visit in a day before my brain gets fried :D
I mean, nothing against having separate MySpace pages, YouTube channels, secret Frost* drop sites behind the park bench in Hyde Park, as long as the same stuff's here too in some kind coordinated sense. Pretty please ... ?
We're prog fans and most of us (sorry Mouse) are tending towards senescence: we can't handle all these different inputs.
Next thing you'll tell us is that it's
you that's behind this blessed (and admittedly interesting sounding) iamamiwhoami (//http://www.youtube.com/user/iamamiwhoami) viral meme ... ! :shock:
God how brilliant is that??
That's fab that is. I'd never been aware of it till now. I do love it when people embrace the weird and slightly disturbing. Marvellous. :D
Perfect timing, in fact...

It is good, isn't it? I'm completely with you on the slightly disturbing bit: exactly
what is she licking in several of those videos and who killed the puppies? :shock:
But actually you can take most of the credit for me finding out about it, since Tara Busch has been raving about it on her website which I got to via ... you :D
Of course, you could just be denying all knowledge of it until now to put us off the track ;)
Mouse .. Blur without the dirty pigeons ! :D
Hilarious and brilliant in equal parts.
My word!
Deep Ocean fucking rocks!!
I wish I could download it.
Iamwhoiamwhoami - those in the know say that it's Goldfrapp.
Which is just as it should be. Good old Alison. :D

Yes, that one would make some sense if only because they have a new album coming out in a couple of weeks. Then again, the Godfrapp website would suggest something altogether less disturbing, music and imagery-wise, and the new song "Rocket" on their (official ;) ) MySpace page is a million miles away from the wonderful weirdness that is iamamiwhoami. Is it all an elaborate bluff? Nah, I don't buy it: it can't be Goldfrapp.
One of the persistent rumours is that it's Christina Aguilera and/or Trent Reznor. If it was "and", that would be seriously strange.
However, since the girl in the iamamiwhoami videos has very distinctive lower front teeth, there's some clue there, perhaps: front runner in the dental stakes is Lykke Li.
//http://the-hidden.com/iamamiwhoami_lykke_li.jpg
She gets my vote for the time being: music and general imagery is a better fit, IMHO, than Goldfrapp. Plus she's Swedish: all that snow and those trees in the video!
...Deep Ocean...holy maroley thats amazing! Any chance of it being made cheekily available chap? Couple of quid with your name on it, or I can set you up with a nice bacon sarnie and a brew lol. Your choice!
Good times =)
Jem, for streaming music purposes may I suggest http://www.reverbnation.com (http://www.reverbnation.com)
You can use a widget thingy and chuck it on the myspace page instead of the myspace player, and the quality is MUCH much better.
sorry if this has already been covered (16 page thread - I must pop here more often) but for musical ignoramus like myself, how does the Mouse thing work? Do you credit The Streets or is it only if you were selling it there would be implications? Think its great btw, prolly more cos I loved the great concept album that is A Grand don't come for free.
Also Deep Ocean is wonderful.
Deep Ocean is wonderfully beserk. Intrigued to hear the other versions, now. Bravo! :D
Now then, think I might go out for a stroll, into the night and out of this hole. Maybe find me a meal... ;)

At least you're already there. I've still got it to look forward to. :shock:

You can... If you think you can. ¬_¬
I'm not usually this technignorant, but where are you chaps seeing/hearing this Deep Ocean thingy? The only thing I see on the Frostie MySpace is "Hyperventilate" live?!? :?:

Jem .. any chance we can have them available in the toys section ? :D
