Thanks to everyone who came and caught us at The Spitz and apologies for the slightly short set. Things were running short and we wanted to make sure that Arovane got a fair set, since he'd come over from Berlin for it. Massive thanks are due to Bruce from Seed, the ex-girlies, darryl, the very cool Sancho and Arovane himself for everything. Thanks also due to Matt Farrow for coming down and taking some superb photos of us.

Next stop, Big Chill! We're hoping to announce a pre-chill warm up date with Kirsty, as well as another major festival appearance, and full details of The Foundation Festival which we'll be putting something together for. We are also going to release a new track exclusively for free download as part of a sutemos compilation, coming out soon. Watch this space!

Morning.

We've got the live section kind of sorted, and added the latest information to it, which includes a Dublin date for Andy, and full details of this month's Arovane support slot. Whilst we're pretty sure that most visitors to this site will know Arovane well, if you haven't come across his work, we strongly recommend you wander over to arovane.de and check him out. We're proper excited to be sharing a bill with one of our influences.

We'll hopefully have a new track available soon courtesy of Sutemos and some other tidbits as well.

Samy and Cal should also have their blogs up over the next few days which we're sure will make for interesting reading.

Out this week is the new Big Chill Recordings compilation, 'Take Me Home' compiled by Pete Lawrence and featuring an exclusive mix of "A Lighter Touch", made just for this release.

The compilation also features tracks by Jon Hopkins, Tom Greenwood, Dollboy, Animat, Andreas Vollenweider and Sebastian Tellier and is available at all good record shops (probably in the chill out section of the dance compilations), online at Townsend Records, or directly from The Big Chill. You can read some reviews here.

Incidentally, Dollboy have also done a superb remix of Seraphim which will hopefully be made available in one form or another soon.

.:Hello:.

Apologies for the lack of updates recently. This has mostly been due to the rebuild of the site that has been going on. Although it won't look visually much different, we've got a new blog-style backend system in place which will mean that updates are much easier.

Other new things are W3C XHTML standards compliancy which might not mean much to anyone, but it's a badge of pride for Andy who actually builds these things for a living. We've also added a personal blogs section. At the moment, you can view Andy's which has been migrated over from our myspace page. We'll hopefully add new blogs from the rest of the band as time goes on.

Please let us know if there are any other bugs or problems with the site. It's been a bit of a rush to get everything done this week and we haven't had time to test it thoroughly!
