20/03/06 New single Desert Soul

'Desert Soul' will be available to order via the website from Monday 27th.
Desert Soul is a fantastic song, and marks a thumping return for the band. This has really been a labour of love for Paul, with catchy keyboards and some stunning guitar work (and there are quite a few guitars on this!) this is undoubtedly one of his best tunes to date.
The CD will include two specially recorded acoustic renditions of tracks from the new album, one being 'Desert Soul', and the other entitled 'Under the Stars'. Both these tracks have an amazing sound about them and are quite unique ( there's something quite 'Woodstocky' about them) - NOT to be missed.
Also included are live versions of 'SHY' and '8 DAYS' (from 'The Pressure Sensitive') recorded last November in Belgium.
Work begins on the new album next week.........
