Very flattered to be asked by Chris Phinney to do the cover art for this Electronic Cottage project, which I was more than pleased to do. That's the finished article on the left, not bad, eh? The idea was a strange invading force flying over a military fort by twilight. The picture is actually based on a photo I took before an evening football match at Plymouth Argyle back in 2011, as is the one for our own track here, designed to be complimentary, the arrival of 'The Dreamquake' itself a little later. I think I heard the word in that Netflix series, Sandman, thought it had a kind of foreboding air to it, perfect for what I wanted.

The track is also based on the notion of an approaching force. You first hear them in the distance, then growing ever nearer as the beating of drums grows louder and louder. And the menacing sound? Yeah, it's created from lawnmower samples. As I was saying in the previous entry, it's been a lawnmower kind of year thus far. You know Skit and power tools. Anything that makes a noise really. And there's still more to come; there's a 35 minute ear-bleeder (nostalgic, I know) we've done for the forthcoming EFSPACM album for the RPM Challenge. Couldn't resist dipping our toes in one more time. Getting sentimental in our old age, eh?
