'Joy Through Amplification' is more, er, um...lets just say a tad more abrasive than many of my more rock oriented recordings...it features, (possibly,) the most serrated-edge stylings of any album of mine so far, with the possible exception of the Red Noise album. But, then again, it has very little of the 'rinky-dinkyness' of Red Noise. It leans more towards a kind of surrealistic metal, squall, shred, garage, twisted, hybrid-pop, romantic fusion. :shock:

It still sounds like me, of course, (hey, how could it be otherwise?) But if you're imagining that this momentary return to loud rock will equate to a nostalgic Be Bop Deluxe revival, you'll be barking up the wrong tree. This album is simply, just barking! :wink:

I've just ordered LoTNC, but JTA is even more eagerly awaited after that description.

It also has a sort of 'album within an album' feel due to the 12 experimental/ambient/free-form guitar instrumental tracks, which are set between each of the rock/vocal tracks. These pieces function as a sort of 'sonic sorbet,' a respite from the noisy fuzz box and wah-wah pedal tendancies of the album's primary, (and primal,) focus. These 'non less rock' interludes also attempt to steer any headbanging fundamentalists amongst you towards a forced appreciation of the more abstract facets of this strange album of bright and rough diamonds. I predict that you are going to LOVE it.

But you will have to wait a fair bit longer...(unless you try to grab one of the VIP launch party tickets when they are announced.) As always, stay tuned! :wink:

You're not helping us to keep thrill levels under control here Mr Nelson :twisted:

Sonic sorbet or amuse bouche?

Tasty.
