New Birds Flew Backwards Remix

A good way to start the week.. The good folks at Caught By The River in association with Heavenly Recordings are streaming a new remix of Birds Flew Backwards. The remix was done by Chris Watson, one of the founder members of Cabaret Voltaire, now famed wildlife sound recordist. Do check out his website, he’s done some pretty amazing stuff.

Also announced today at Caught By The River, is the second Birdsongs compilation. This time the compilation has been put together by Jimi Goodwin! To get the download, you must sign up with your email address at the site. The download will be sent out to members on Wednesday. So if you are not signed up, do so now! Artwork for the compilation has been done by Matt Sewell, which features a Robin as requested by Jimi.

Also whilst your at Caught By The River, check out the Happy Mondays post featuring some good Factory Records video footage. Great stuff!

Electric Proms BBC Coverage

The London Bulgarian Choir

If you were not lucky enough to get tickets, the BBC have confirmed they will be airing doves performance at Electric Proms with the London Bulgarian Choir on 6 Music.

Also performing on the night with doves will be Baluji Shrivastav, who played on the Kingdom Of Rust track Birds Flew Backwards.

Looking forward to hearing a new twist on the songs. You can imagine tracks such as Shadows Of Salford, Spellbound, The Sulphur Man & Satellites sounding great live with a choir. Not so easy to imagine tracks like Pounding with a choir. Should be a great night.
