Corner of the Season

Over a period of six years (2000 - 2006, I think), Andrew Paine & Richard Youngs would meet in October / November and record a xmas single.

The a-side would be an original composition, the b-side a take on a traditional English carol or 'folk' song.

Each single was released in a very limited edition to family and friends.

'Corner of the Season' was the first and I think the best of our original compositions and is still a favorite with the 'kids' at the holiday season.

It appeared on the 'Glasgow Wassail' compilation (Sonic Oyster Records (SOR15) in 2007, in a limited release of 100 cdrs.

All proceeds from sales of the CD went to the Yorkhill Children's Hospital in Glasgow.

Download and enjoy.

And Here's Norman With The Weather...

"I like the name Space Weather. If nothing else 'cos it reminds me of the weather guy from Family Guy who shouts "space weather" in one of the Star Wars episodes. If you've not seen it there's possibly nothing funnier than watching a large black man shout space weather at you really loudly. Anyhoo Space Weather are a bunch of Scottish experimentalists who knock about with the Sonic Oyster lot, Richard Youngs etc. from what I can tell. On this cutesy 3" CD you get bass and electric guitar and the now obligitory synth. This is kinda spacey sounding as well... Bits of it remind me of Plight & Premonition (Holger Czukay & David Sylvian) with its weird sounding radio noises and occasional melodic tones. I reckon if you lived in space and took loads of drugs this would be what you'd hear all day and that's a good thing!" Phil from Norman Records
