Rolling Blackouts - Instrumental Version
Tuesday 31st January 2012

On the first anniversary of the fantastic Rolling Blackouts being released, a new version of the album has appeared! Well sort of. There's currently a promo CD of the album doing the rounds which is completely instrumental - i.e. no vocals on any of the tracks at all. We've yet to get hold of one but can confirm its existence and we're obviously very intrigued to hear it. No doubt, as with the original album, it will leave us...erm, speechless. Hope to have some more news soon... 


Roudou Can't Fail
Friday 13th January 2012


'Roudou Sanka' the track co-written and arranged by Ian Parton for Japanese girl group Momoiro Clover Z, covered here on its release last November, apparently got to number 7 in the Japanese singles charts with sales in excess of 45,000.  If you are interested in tracking down the single (and we certainly were!) it came out in three CD formats (see below) and is available from most on-line Japanese record stores. Here's the details...

Sample Examples

Many thanks to Richard Russell for a link to the Who Sampled website, which pairs up tracks containing samples with the source material from which the sample was taken. There's a whole bunch of Go! Team ones on there  including a fair few from Rolling Blackouts on the second page here. Fascinating stuff and well worth checking out. Cheers Richard.
