Title:  A very long way from anywhere else Artist:  Spaceheads and Max Eastley - Various Artists Label:  Bip-Hop Format:  CD Price:  € 15.90   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Spaceheads are a unique duo of trumpet (Andy Diagram) played through electronics and looped with drums (Richard Harrison). Max Eastley is a sound sculptor, artist, and musician. When with Spaceheads he plays an instrument he invented and made himself called The Arc. It is a monochord of wood and wire, which is scraped, bent and flexed into an orbit of amplified effects. Since releasing "ancient astronaut" in 2001, Spaceheads and Max Eastley have played a variety of gigs including a live session for the BBC "Mixing It" programme. Their live sets are totally improvised and form the basis of this new CD. It was recorded at two very different locations, one an island of the south of France, and the other a remote village on the North Yorkshire moors, both venues a very long way from anywhere else. The shed is, as the name suggests not much more than a shed in the very small village of Brawby.The Mimi festival gig was held on one of the Friouli Islands south of Marseille, the former site of a leper colony. It was on the way to the island that the Spaceheads sailed pass the infamous 'Chateau D'if ' the setting for incarceration of the future 'Count de Monte Cristo '. A reading of the book was the inspiration for most of the titles on the CD.
