<p><span style="font-family: arial;">We are thrilled to reveal that Ex-Easer Island Head – a band we have been huge fans of for many years, are releasing 'Norther' – their first album since 2016 on Rocket Recordings.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Watch the Tommy Husband made video for the album's title track above.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This is what the band have to say about the shimmering beauty of this first single: <i>"'Norther' makes a determined line for the horizon on a piece that finds them somewhere between Arnold Dreyblatt's Orchestra of Excited Strings and the shimmering minimalism of Kompakt records. Two guitars with their frets pulled off and with brass rods inserted beneath the strings create a chorusing, chiming lattice of alternately muted and unmuted strings, propelled forward by an insistent two note motif, pulsing kick drum and sliding slabs of downtuned bass.

For Ex-Easter Island Head, it’s also an apt title for the strange and multi-faceted sound of their new album, their first since 2016, which drifts from billowing clouds of melancholy to propulsive hypnotic headwinds.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Years in the making and crafted in their home studio housed within the former Brazilian consulate in Liverpool, the music is an ever shifting thrum of sounds, both acoustic and electronic, which appears to teem and squirm, yet which moves as part of one mighty breeze.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Building on over a decade of activity, Ex-Easter Island Head have long been a cherished part of the UK underground. Functioning variously as a kind of deconstructed rock band, ambient chamber ensemble and minimalist compositional workshop, on 'Norther' we find the group combining their wide musical experience into something singular and coherent with a deeply emotional core.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Largely orbiting around their extended use of the electric guitar, their approach might at times recall the experiments of Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca, but across the album we see a band whose musical vision extends well beyond the iconoclasm of 80's New York. Drawing on hypnotic musics from across the spectrum, they bring a compositional approach to sounds often associated with freeform sprawl or more academic settings, never letting pathos be lost to process. Equally reminiscent of the gentle rolling momentum of The Necks as they are the coiled precision of an act on Kompakt; this is a music which ebbs and flows, lives and breathes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The record consists of six pieces, each of which demonstrates an entirely different creative process. On blossoming opener ‘Weather’, whirring motors are made to dance fairy-like atop guitar strings and drums before being overwhelmed by great thrusts of bass; on the dizzying ‘Magnetic Language’ the band’s voices are played back through their phones and amplified with guitar pickups, magnets wrapped in copper wire, a conversation between technology old and new. The title of penultimate piece ‘Golden Bridges’ refers to the brass rods the band shift beneath the strings of their guitars to create its glowing cascade of harmonics.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">All, however, tap to one degree or another into that abiding theme of the weather, not least the title track for which the band erected a ramshackle aeolian harp –an instrument played by the wind – on the roof of a former meteorological observatory on The Wirral. With it they captured an actual norther, bottling its elemental power for their own devices. When examining their specimen they found a deep resonance between the sounds it made, which are eerily akin to guitar feedback, and the quest to extract rich overtones from the instrument that has remained a constant through their career as experimental outliers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Despite the long wait since their last full length, the band’s creative drive has been ceaseless in that time. Those eight years away were defined by collaborations, solo excursions and one-off performances – whether external projects like Dialect, The Aleph and Land Trance, their part in the Salford Large Ensemble of Northern underground musicians or Whistling Arrow, with Laura Cannell and Charles Hayward, a site-specific series of shows in Odense, Denmark, work with classical musicians like the BBC Philharmonic and Immix Ensemble, or ambitious educational projects with schoolchildren in Liverpool and Newcastle. “Nearly all of these have played into the direction the material on Norther has taken,” says the band’s Benjamin D. Duvall.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">“All of the projects we were involved in between 2016 and 2024 have expanded the boundaries of what we do by exposing us to a huge variety of instruments, personalities and ways of working. It's really allowed us to see the purity of making music with a four-piece group.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">That status as a quartet is a new one, with longstanding friend and collaborator Andrew PM Hunt (Dialect) now a permanent fixture. Having a member of the band handling recording and mixing has helped the band push further into their own language, moving beyond simple documentation, as on previous albums, into a lush, technicolour vision all of their own.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmSHFVoHsvGyJE3DkL1yvODJI6wu7nIBg_UkxClU1JHoHL5nHg0bDu3H-ZZbuDi3B0OvdoNq_CW3bEQCFEe01irsHtLUk5XfX9Bp1_51donE6BeOEFCQS5pTWX5Ni7V7X420CxPa0lmoGsmS6ggABN-Ke04s2xBLIx0F_SLIZC3s0QmEAs0TLVRcUCxg/s524/LAUNCH342%20EEIH%20%E2%80%93%20Norther%20Sleeve_%20Mock-Up_S.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmSHFVoHsvGyJE3DkL1yvODJI6wu7nIBg_UkxClU1JHoHL5nHg0bDu3H-ZZbuDi3B0OvdoNq_CW3bEQCFEe01irsHtLUk5XfX9Bp1_51donE6BeOEFCQS5pTWX5Ni7V7X420CxPa0lmoGsmS6ggABN-Ke04s2xBLIx0F_SLIZC3s0QmEAs0TLVRcUCxg/s16000/LAUNCH342%20EEIH%20%E2%80%93%20Norther%20Sleeve_%20Mock-Up_S.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">---</span></p>Rocket_Recordingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02147378449068385289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285421467139575879.post-48662954395503156372024-02-19T10:30:00.003+00:002024-02-19T10:30:00.135+00:00Thee Alcoholics reveal new track 'Dumb & Happy' <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z9trIZDwhuA?si=m_h1UthIZj6q6QHz" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />

</span><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Alison Cotton's new album 'Engelchen' is released on 15 March. It is an album inspired by the story of Ida and Louise Cook, two remarkable women who helped arrange the paths of refugees out of danger in 1930s Nazi-occupied Europe.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Watch the John O'Carroll made video for the second single to be released from 'Engelchen' – the absorbing 'Crépuscule' above</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">'Englechen' is released on 15 March – preorder now on 'Swirl vinyl' via the Bandcamp link below, or on clear vinyl from your local record shop:</span></p><p><b><a href="https://alisoncotton-uk.bandcamp.com/album/engelchen"><span style="font-family: arial;">Bandcamp</span></a></b></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The great 'Feeding Tube Records' are releasing the album in North America.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The secretive heroics of Ida and Louise almost beggar belief, and when Alison Cotton first discovered their story, she couldn’t understand why it wasn’t more widely known. Furthermore, she was inspired by their courage, fortitude and derring-do to compose Engelchen, a live musical tribute to the duo’s lives and work, which is now a full-length release on Rocket Recordings.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Throughout, this story is relayed by Alison, whether acapella or by means of richly emotive string arrangements, with a deftness of touch, sensitivity and intensity that matches the feverish nature of the experiences and the unforgiving environs in which they took place. Engelchen is a transporting work whose spirit is situated in a very specific time and place,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Nonetheless, the story of Ida and Louise Cook is more than merely an inspirational tribute to two mavericks who beat the odds in an unforgettable feat of altruism. It’s a celebration of the human spirit, one that reflects a universality in its narrative which transcends the boundaries of history and impacts very urgently on our daily lives. Whatever attempts may be made to tell this story, it’s hard to imagine one that resonates deeper than Engelchen.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">See Alison live at these following dates:</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: arial;">23 March / Gregynog Hall / Newtown <br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">28 March / Glad Cafe / Glasgow<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">29 March / The Lubber Fiend / Newcastle<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">30 March / Bishop's House / Sheffield<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">31 March / Rise / York<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">05 April / St Pancras Old Church / London<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">25-27 July / DK / Sønderho / Fanø Free Folk Festival</span></b></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgesGmQhd7yAhOuC_nphyphenhyphenY7vqQlkRuQ_jdaQWiET4K1jT4y1kgluddD6YEkxti3gGVZatXqI1SY9LNs163hjaT57-AQ0XtJAzsx4eId61NJoPmXi18sa8nue_xdCKp0zOxBYYpip8fc9clepEpZL4uGtCBO-Cm9XZ8stFzH-dro2CYuRNQqQwU9QF8Oc/s524/LAUNCH339%20Alison%20Cottton%20%E2%80%93%20Engelchen_MockUp_ROCKET_S.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgesGmQhd7yAhOuC_nphyphenhyphenY7vqQlkRuQ_jdaQWiET4K1jT4y1kgluddD6YEkxti3gGVZatXqI1SY9LNs163hjaT57-AQ0XtJAzsx4eId61NJoPmXi18sa8nue_xdCKp0zOxBYYpip8fc9clepEpZL4uGtCBO-Cm9XZ8stFzH-dro2CYuRNQqQwU9QF8Oc/s16000/LAUNCH339%20Alison%20Cottton%20%E2%80%93%20Engelchen_MockUp_ROCKET_S.jpg" /></a></b></div><b><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></b><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">---</span></p>Rocket_Recordingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02147378449068385289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285421467139575879.post-34583405581294879092024-02-06T11:00:00.002+00:002024-02-06T11:00:00.268+00:00Thee Alcoholics reveal second single from forthcoming album – 'Feedback'<span style="font-family: arial;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H_7bTVPmU0A?si=G-PTdcAdIiEL2nw1" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

<p><span style="font-family: arial;">To tide you over before a new studio The Utopia Strong album is released, we are happy to reveal the band are unleashing 'The BBC Sessions' album on Ltd edition LP and CD on 22 March. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">'The BBC Sessions' were originally recorded live at Maida Vale for a Marc Riley session on BBC 6 Music in September 2022, the five tracks capture The Utopia Strong stretching themselves and continuing to develop their aural explorations.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Watch the John O'Carroll made video for the track 'Lamp Of Glory' above.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">You can preorder The Utopia Strong's 'The BBC Sessions' on Ltd Edition Black vinyl and CD from 8am GMT tomorrow (2nd Feb) to coincide with the first Bandcamp Friday of the year:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><a href="https://theutopiastrong.bandcamp.com/album/the-bbc-sessions">Preorder album</a></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The band approached this session differently, as usually pieces are improvised and developed live over a longer period of time. “When we hit a point where all three of us really had something going, we would continue while the proverbial tape was rolling,” says Kavus Torabi, “So, the shorter pieces are the result of about ten or fifteen minutes playing that you wouldn’t have heard.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The history of BBC Maida Vale Sessions is familiar to The Utopia Strong. As musicians, and lifelong music fans, the legacy - the importance - of such recordings is not lost on them. Space and place influence creativity, as is the case here, and the sleeve is a loving homage to those classic BBC releases, affectionately nodding to Strange Fruit Peel Sessions from days of yore.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So put on the - classic, black - vinyl, sit back and go through all the other bands listed on the sleeve that have also recorded BBC Sessions. You will surely be familiar with them, if you are music aficionados like the band.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAi4vq65COhILylA5mwYA2-AxEB4lhpxqex1bhPV0OskeJQ-FDfoArhFXIxLDdfgUEuJs0XE7FIucqY7e6s0sQMqrpE6yIZCkfFkx8lovA63D_JhuI_4d7aD46XVTgxF9WZZmRGeY0VqR8JDqrMXHh8PM7CS53R4RSUyelW3rLp9x3H4KvGTffs9vt9Ao/s524/The%20Utopia%20Strong_BBC%20Sessions_Vinyl%20Mock_S.jpg" style="clear: left;

<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Alison Cotton returns with her new album 'Engelchen' – an album inspired by the story of Ida and Louise Cook, two remarkable women who helped arrange the paths of refugees out of danger in 1930s Nazi-occupied Europe.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Watch the video, made by John O'Carroll for the first track to be revealed, the poignant sounds of 'The Letter Burning' above</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">'Englechen' is released on 15 March – preorder now on 'Swirl vinyl' via the Bandcamp link below, or on clear vinyl from your local record shop:</span></p><p><a href="https://alisoncotton-uk.bandcamp.com/album/engelchen"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Bandcamp</span></b></a></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The great 'Feeding Tube Records' are releasing the album in North America.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The secretive heroics of Ida and Louise almost beggar belief, and when Alison Cotton first discovered their story, she couldn’t understand why it wasn’t more widely known. Furthermore, she was inspired by their courage, fortitude and derring-do to compose Engelchen, a live musical tribute to the duo’s lives and work, which is now a full-length release on Rocket Recordings.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Throughout, this story is relayed by Alison, whether acapella or by means of richly emotive string arrangements, with a deftness of touch, sensitivity and intensity that matches the feverish nature of the experiences and the unforgiving environs in which they took place. Engelchen is a transporting work whose spirit is situated in a very specific time and place,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Nonetheless, the story of Ida and Louise Cook is more than merely an inspirational tribute to two mavericks who beat the odds in an unforgettable feat of altruism. It’s a celebration of the human spirit, one that reflects a universality in its narrative which transcends the boundaries of history and impacts very urgently on our daily lives. Whatever attempts may be made to tell this story, it’s hard to imagine one that resonates deeper than Engelchen.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">See Alison live at these following dates, with more TBA:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>23 March / Gregynog Hall / Newtown <br />28 March / Glad Cafe / Glasgow<br />29 March / The Lubber Fiend / Newcastle<br />30 March / Bishop's House / Sheffield<br />31 March / Rise / York<br />05 April / St Pancras Old Church / London</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTJWk2RvEuwx93N92U0-0Abj0drMsYr8xx8cJBl_mo81_AFUk9CA-zUjXxgoj72dWWuTVx9Ir_25zYQp_vqcNRCEy9dVsurm4zgoIyTJ9Y7RiXlCYhFWtp_Ia67foMFDs8Wz3Zdv9uxioK5m6Ax_52QZxem8KyB81yPoUoIleuOXG9rezS4Q6w9d72GhY/s524/LAUNCH339%20Alison%20Cottton%20%E2%80%93%20Engelchen_MockUp_ROCKET_S.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTJWk2RvEuwx93N92U0-0Abj0drMsYr8xx8cJBl_mo81_AFUk9CA-zUjXxgoj72dWWuTVx9Ir_25zYQp_vqcNRCEy9dVsurm4zgoIyTJ9Y7RiXlCYhFWtp_Ia67foMFDs8Wz3Zdv9uxioK5m6Ax_52QZxem8KyB81yPoUoIleuOXG9rezS4Q6w9d72GhY/s16000/LAUNCH339%20Alison%20Cottton%20%E2%80%93%20Engelchen_MockUp_ROCKET_S.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><b><br /></b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">---</span></p><div><br /></div>Rocket_Recordingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02147378449068385289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285421467139575879.post-80081206498647031342024-01-09T11:30:00.007+00:002024-01-09T12:14:01.071+00:00Thee Alcoholics announce debut Rocket album – 'Feedback'<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GoFP6hSJaY4?si=sB5liwS7qqadT80S" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Excited to announce 'Feedback', the debut Rocket release by Thee Alcoholics – the London 5 piece formed by ex Hey Colossus member Rhys Llewellyn.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Listen to the first track to be revealed – the repeato psychpunk attack of 'Baby I'm Your Man' featuring the guest Colin Webster on sax noise above</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">'Feedback' is released on 23 February – but you can preorder now on Ltd Edition Yellow Vinyl:</span></p><p><b><a href="https://thee-alcoholics.bandcamp.com/album/feedback"><span style="font-family: arial;">Bandcamp</span></a></b></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The howl of the ampstack, the thump of stick on skin, the clink of pint-glass. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The simple pleasures and vices endure, even as time warps and future dystopias loom large. Yet fresh horizons beckon even with the most trustworthy ingredients, and Thee Alcoholics are here to hammer the point home. 'Feedback', the debut from this London-based outfit is where riffage, rancour and revelation do battle, a bleary-eyed treatise from the edge of sanity with a life-affirming afterglow.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Thee Alcoholics are the brainchild of Rhys Llewellyn, a longtime Rocket alumnus whose background leans as heavily into the bassbin-shaking realms of electronic music as it does the tinnitus-inducing world of the cranked amp. Not content with hammering drumskins for numerous floor-shaking records on the Rocket discography from the likes of Hey Colossus and The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers, he’s also been responsible for brain-rearranging electronic works under the Drmcnt and Acidliner monikers. Thee Alcoholics, however - which initially gestated as a result of Rhys himself wanting to pursue the somewhat hostile sound in his own head during lockdown - maps out a collision course between all of the above. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>“I wanted to capture something visceral and more intense and essentially make music that I loved and missed playing. I was doing a lot of home recording while lockdown was happening and going in my local studio in Peckham on my own just trying to get ideas out and record stuff to take home and carve in to something while stuck in the house”</i> From this, Thee Alcoholics’ name arrived from the ether (<i>“a gnarly name for a gnarly sound”</i> Rhys reflects) and soon the ensuing racket was captured on two cassette releases for Wrong Speed Records. Ultimately, this path has led to various incarnations of a bruising live band, and hence to 'Feedback', where all the malice, indignation and inspiration of the decade so far coalesced into a brain-frying salvo of ornery catharsis. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Cranky and cantankerous yet lysergically aligned, 'Feedback' is mesmeric rock with swagger, warped into sci-fi shapes by the spirit and sonics of bass and soundsystem culture. The psychedelic shapes here are redolent of the ur-klang of The Fall and the monolithic lurch of The Heads, the motorik malevolence less an uplifting trip to the heavens than a drill down to the earth’s core.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Discernible in these jackhammer beats, grimly murmured vocals and delirious dirges to certain heads may be the trash futurism of Chrome, the decomposed stomp of unsung legends Earl Brutus and the electro-punk attack of Six Finger Satellite, yet all of the above co-ordinates are waylaid effortlessly by a balls-out intensity and a fearsome intent on aural oblivion at all costs. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">'Feedback' may be elemental and primal, yet this is no psych comfort-blanket nor retro-fetishism, rather a repetition-driven journey headlong into intimidating territory unknown. Get on board, and strap yourselves in for a bumpy ride.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">-</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Get intoxicated on Thee Alcoholics live experience: </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: arial;">09 Feb / Rennes / Le Marquis de Sade<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">15 Feb / Manchester / The Peer Hat<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">16 Feb / Halifax / Grayson Unity</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">22 Feb / Derby / Dubrek Studios<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">23 Feb / Newcastle / The Lubber Fiend<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">24 Feb / Nottingham / Chameleon<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">29 Feb / Bristol / The Crown<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">01 Mar / London / Moor Vaults Brewery</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr_YHCVWC-kPI2eeOZZev0l3-PUcbgHW9OJkj7GdrV5f_NBE4Dm80SVVxIONvoKTOTeeiwozTm9Cn6eDMcBUZqKEkXUJnNZ4BQH7BERa77ietYszIP5MCFhfnE7exXAr2MVqTr7RCETNcwUoXJde8Gs1sQOQ5xXJBnNDa1BdRs6LX1voBQBj6_glkoxXA/s524/LAUNCH328_TheeAlcoholics%20%E2%80%93%20Feedback_Mock-up_S.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr_YHCVWC-kPI2eeOZZev0l3-PUcbgHW9OJkj7GdrV5f_NBE4Dm80SVVxIONvoKTOTeeiwozTm9Cn6eDMcBUZqKEkXUJnNZ4BQH7BERa77ietYszIP5MCFhfnE7exXAr2MVqTr7RCETNcwUoXJde8Gs1sQOQ5xXJBnNDa1BdRs6LX1voBQBj6_glkoxXA/s16000/LAUNCH328_TheeAlcoholics%20%E2%80%93%20Feedback_Mock-up_S.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">---</span></p><p><br /></p>Rocket_Recordingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02147378449068385289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285421467139575879.post-38577546092006286902023-12-31T12:00:00.003+00:002023-12-31T12:00:00.146+00:00Rocket Probes – December 2023<p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXIweL-u8-A0tEqvPtEgySlMMRsJonCyGuxNzjlbq4O3MVqqlcJMoLdYGrY_uwQfwffwtCK9Ar9utpOXV3Jr46mcUw5QOE77mk4pu84CzWSJA5Yy1BQOAwusqqVDUutBtQbgeJCXn-CxvfJRmQl2p5RO8iRffIN9CIkNz4WV_OMjC18Ip7yXWI-18hEw/s524/Probes_Frame1_S.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXIweL-u8-A0tEqvPtEgySlMMRsJonCyGuxNzjlbq4O3MVqqlcJMoLdYGrY_uwQfwffwtCK9Ar9utpOXV3Jr46mcUw5QOE77mk4pu84CzWSJA5Yy1BQOAwusqqVDUutBtQbgeJCXn-CxvfJRmQl2p5RO8iRffIN9CIkNz4WV_OMjC18Ip7yXWI-18hEw/s16000/Probes_Frame1_S.png" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Well here we are at the end of another year, and we are sad to reveal that this is also going to be the end of our Rocket Probes transmissions.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Our first Rocket Probes was <a href="https://rocketrecordings.blogspot.com/2009/06/rocket-probes-jne-2009-playlist.html"><b>June 2009</b></a> and for 175 months we have shared new and old music that graced Mission Control's decks.
