Blue States - Vision Trail

Aquamix 12.40, a special mix of tracks from Overlaps new album Medium Fields and EP Greylight Green - available on Bandcamp via Overlap Recordings, released 23rd February.

"Overlap proves that they don’t necessarily need multi-media to paint their atmospheres. The video images will probably be a great addition at live performances, but the audio alone works fine, too!" Ambientblog

*Due to Soundcloud low KBPS - there are some artifacts at the beginning of the track.

Restless Spheres - Slow Hands remix

After reading an interview with Jim Kerr from the Simple Minds I broke out my colored vinyl copy of 'New Gold Dream' and lay on my living room floor listening. It brought back a lot of feelings. I read up on Steve Lillywhite's guitar production technique and discovered that he actually played a lot of the guitar on the records he produced. 
I looked at the original file of 'Big Sleep' as a potential re edit, but reconsidered and chose to do something more pure. I used a Juno 106 for the main melody, MiniMoog for the bass, Casio drums, and processed my acoustic guitar as per Mr. Lillywhite's instructions. I think that it's interesting in a vintage sort of way, having stripped the needy feelings from the original and left it electronic. It creates more of an open space for us, and so far I think I like it. Dunnoe. Gotta listen some more.

Blue States accidentally established themselves at the forefront of the burgeoning wave of downtempo acts way back in 1998. Their debut album 'Nothing Changes Under the Sun' was released on Memphis Industries in September 2000, stunning critics and punters alike with its glorious retro-futurism.

In 2002 the second album "Man Mountain" was released on XL Recordings, which saw Blue States up the anti somewhat with the addition of vocalist Ty Bulmer. Including a string quartet, horn section and a kids choir "Man Mountain" was an all together grander affair, the standout track being 'Season Song' which ended up on the 28 Days Later soundtrack.

Never one to try and replicate his past endeavours, the third album "The Soundings" released in 2004. With Chris Carr taking on lyrical and vocal duties The Soundings saw Blue States once again morph into something new. The layers of strings and brass were stripped back to reveal something darker and more personal.

September 2007 saw the release of the fourth album 'First Steps Into..' on Memphis Industries. For this album Andy did a Michael Palin and went full circle, returning to the ethos of Nothing Changes and becoming a one man band again. "Allies' became the standout track, with its mix of otherworldly vocals and dense strings, all wrapped up in electronic sensibility. A solely written and produced album it sonically borrows from all three previous albums.

'Sum Of The Parts' was released in 2009, an Itunes only album comprising of b-sides from all of their releases from 1998 to 2007. A new album is being concocted at the moment planned for a 2013 release.
