Hi guys 'n' gals

Had some requests for some old Rook tracks so have uploaded these to my Soundcloud page:

http://soundcloud.com/jonboyes

There are 12 tracks. The originals from the "Judge & Jury" EP and a load of others unreleased as yet (including a cover of Turn it On Again).  Rook was a band put together after Freefall which included Simon Godfrey, Julian Garner (from Kick) and myself. It's far lighter than Freefall and you can tell that we were heavily influenced by It Bites (especially from the endings...)

Unfortunately Simon spontaneously combusted before we could commit him to tape so these recordings feature Carl Sampson (ex- Casual Affair) on drums.

Enjoy

Now then.... I don't post a lot here but this deserves a wider audience.

My better half Sarah has just done a couple of press releases for a band called Northern Kind who I have to say are superb. Listen to these guys and you're back in 1980.  Cue up the track "Electric to me" first - if that's not Madge then...hey..

Its a gorgeous synthfest of a sound with a great female vocalist and lovely production.  So if you're into 80s Electro/retro in any way  - have a listen:

I'm sure the Jemmeister will truly appreciate the sounds here knowing his love for all things vintage.

Just a heads up for the new Karmakanic album "Who's the boss in the factory?".  Definitely the best yet.  Never thought they'd better "Wheel of Life" but they have.

You can hear some clips on Jonas Reingold's site:

Sublime.  Recommended for Frosties!

So I go away for a bit, come back and you've all moved here!  Very posh.   So as a way of getting my own back I thought you'd enjoy these Frosty treats given that it is now officially "15% VAT December"....  So Ladies and Gentlemen, please sit back and enjoy some Xmas Frost..
