THE IDEA is the musical project of ,one Mitch Salisbury. Born in a barn back in 2006, ALTER EGO REHABILITATION CENTRE is the first L.P, recorded entirely on 8 & 12 track with the guidance of "less is more" guru, producer FRAN ASHCROFT. From the Buzzcockian "Sentimental" to the pastoral psychedelia of "Away Day" and Barrett-esque, Brit Pop, blur of "Peter The Frog", the songs stick to you teeth like Blackpool rock.In a nice way, of course. Single "Suck" was released in the fall of 2007 and orbited the outer reaches of the download chart along with Mitch's solo single-"Blue". Now relocated to Hollywood, California THE IDEA are working on the new album in early 2008 and concentrating on dates in Southern California before heading out on the road. Album track "Stop" recently featured on Jetspeed Records compilation "Shuffle". Info at www.jetspeedrecords.com Web site; www.theofficialidea.com Links; www.myspace.com/theideauk
Sentimental Opening track and first single from debut album "Alter ego rehabilitation centre" Written around Nathans 5ths riff which he came across whilst messing around in my front room. I think I was putting a flat pack computer desk together at the time.
M.M.D.G Title track on new E.P for 2008
Nice Girls (Don't like boys like me) Was supposed to be the second single from the album but somehow that never happened. 12 string guitar - Nathan Smye.
Time Slower and darker than the rest of the album. Backing vocal - Jules
Sentimental (acoustic version) E.P track. Acoustic version of album track-"Sentimental".
Polly Trotsky playtime A fans favourite album track.
Away Day Wrote this in about twenty minutes about someone special I was yet to meet.My 60's inspirations are pretty much to the fore in this one. Recorded on 8 track with very few over-dubs.
My Autumn Girl Smiles If you're French then please excuse me.
Peter The Frog Written when I was 17 and full of positivity. 8 track again, recorded in an afternoon.
Finish To The Derby Another older song re-recorded in double quick time and finished off by Fran. Very proud of my drumming on this. Quite rocking by my standards.
Stop THE IDEA go all electro for three minutes. The drums and sequencer are played. No machines on my records. (well......not many)
Sane Once described as "A face burner" by Radio Insomnia.
Suck (full single version) Second single released in the fall of '07. Another killer riff from Nathan. He really is the Riffmiester.
Let's Just be Friends Bonus track featured on "Sentimental" EP
