MONDAY Q&A 2/24/20

Q: I saw your post yesterday about possibility you working with Kitty Lectro again. I am a fan of her mixes and ‘mash-ups’ and also of your music. Is this something that will happen?

A: Thank you for your kind words. While still in the planning stages, I certainly would like to do another ‘re-mix’ style record as we did with ‘beauty re-envisioned’. That was an amazing process to see come together. We do still need to finalize mixes for the new album ‘the storm before the calm’ .. but the songs on this record certainly lend themselves to some interpretations! I think Ms. Lectro’s mixes on ‘beauty re-envisioned’ are some of the best on the album, and as I mentioned what she did with ‘Man Of Faith’ (and even the injection of a bit of Tish’s ‘Look Up’ vocals) is simply amazing. For anyone who has not heard ‘Darknesses’ (which she titled from Mr. Hussey’s line ‘we all have darknesses to hide ourselves in’, I urge you to give it a loud listen. If this was the way for music in the ‘80s and even ‘90s … this would be a darkwave club smash! Simon’s bass sounds INSANE! Ok, back to your question! She is a total pro and it is a joy to work with her. In a perfection world I would love to do another remix record. I have started the conversation with several, including Ms. Lectro about this. She has zeroed in on at least one of the songs that she is interested in. I do hope to have her do her kitty-thing on at least two! I do have a working title for this possible record .., ‘sonic deconstruction / aural reconstruction’. A bit of cart before the horse, but I really think it will happen.!
