Black Apple Pre-Order is Charting!

As of June one, you can now purchase Black Apple in digital format. The digital album has a compressed song total of 30, when in fact there are actually 36 songs (the CD has 36 indexed songs). The simple answer for this is that the song 'Seven Rooms' is in fact 7 songs, and they are indexed as such for the CD. But, we could not index them for digital as there would be big gaps of silence between each song (or room), and that would not sound proper.

Meanwhile, Black Apple is climbing the pre-order charts quite nicely in Japan. Disk Union Records has been our #1 distributor for all 5 records and we love them dearly. Charting at #4 is not a bad place to start considering that the album was just released (digital) and people are just now hearing it for the first time. We appreciate the emails and YouTube comments from those who have heard the album and had very nice things to say about it. Thank you!

And since the record is doing well in Japan, we are nearly sold out of CDs before they even arrive to Orange Records. A 2nd pressing is eminent. Please be patient if you order after July 1st, we will have you sorted as promptly as possible.

And please do visit our YouTube page and subscribe! There will be lots of video singles, video shorts and other surprises posted along the way. Our Current single(s) is 'One Need Leads', a song that sounds like McCartney could have written in 1974 (who knows, maybe he did). Also, the song 'Soft Beds, Hard Battles' and it features the great Dave Gregory of XTC on electric guitar. His solo is absolutely brilliant and one of my very favs. Dave plays on 9 or 10 songs, three of which are rooted in that XTC sensibility. But overall, this double record leans heavy towards that of early 70s McCartney & Wings, much like our first two records.

Our next video single will be 'Cellar Door', which features brilliant horns throughout. A personal fav. Look for that on July one. And soon after another single will appear.

The band and I would like to say 'Thank You'. We appreciate all the love and support.

Cheers,
