Album title chosen
OK, the big revelation is …we’re going to call the album Banging The Rocks.
If you know the Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy, you’ll realise that at the restaurant at the end of the universe the host says a big hello to all sentient beings out there and advises everyone else to keep banging the rocks together.
Once you do that you get fire, then you get technology and then you can advance to space travel etc. So, Banging The Rocks seemed the ideal phrase to use for the title of this album.
For the artwork, the cover features a pair of hands banging crude stones together on the front and the same hands rubbing polished stones together on the back – hopefully that’s not too subtle a change! And the CD label has a picture of a rockslide crushing a car, which is a photo I took in Cornwall, England, when I was down there once.
And we have the running order finalised too – we’re taking the approach of starting with the most radio friendly tracks and working back from there. So open with Sound of Rock, then it’s Question Of Love, My Revolution and Girls Don’t Look. The middle section is Nothing Is More, Screw The Earth, I Will Decide and Hook In My Heart. We bring the record home with Bring On The Summer, Monsoon Rain, Come To Know and Season Of The Rose in that order.
I’ll tell some stuff about the last of the pre-release jobs next time. Have fun and make good music!
