Well in the down side, I have had a phone and laptop free week. Not by choice, as on Monday they both crashed and had to go away for repair, hopefully I should have them up and running next week. On the up side, I have now finished the IV album. I was sorting through some old recordings and came across a song I originally wrote for the "view" album but then decided it didn't really fit so put it away and forgot about it. On listening I decided that with a few tweaks and some remixing it would be perfect for the IV album. The I had a flash of inspiration and finished writing the "For Queen and Country" track. So I spent a whole week mixing and mastering the tracks and getting the artwork together and submitted. IV was officially released on 1st August but as it take s a couple of weeks or so to get it into the download stores it should be available anytime from next week (fingers crossed. I think my laptop probably decided it was time for an impromtu holiday after that. Just when I thought I would have a nice break from song writing now that the pressure is off, there are song ideas flowing now. If they are still there when I get my laptop back I shall play with them and see what happens and maybe release an EP early next year. Enjoy the holiday period Naraick
