Thank you people! I'm afraid we have removed all our other stuff from soundcloud to promote this new song. All I can do is point to a video we did not too long ago (recorded live with hidden mics in a vintage dress shop) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EysgZI-BPc and here we are live, playing Valiente (thats definitely Spaniish!!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuaFpXdnJyU

OK, here are some of James' pics! [attachment=134455:P1020320.jpg][attachment=134456:P1020326.jpg][attachment=134457:P1020337.jpg][attachment=134458:P1020341.jpg]

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1368123892' post='2073581'] although Parano is not Spanish... it might be French? Certainly not Spanish) [/quote] Oops I think you're right. I googled and discovered a 1998 film by Terry Gilliam in French based on F&LILV [url="http://fr.wikiquote.org/wiki/Las_Vegas_Parano"]http://fr.wikiquote....as_Vegas_Parano[/url] As the songwriters in my band tend to switch between Spanish and English (our songs include Aura Negra and Valiente) I just assumed it was Spanish

Thanks so much Paul and Sam! Glad you like it

Many thanks, Simon! Glad you enjoyed it

Got back late from work but had a play and its truly lovely. Very happy indeed. Pics will have to wait, sorry, bit mad at work for next two days!

I just bought an utterly gorgeous 74/5 Jazz off James. He really went above and beyond. Photos, soundclips, parts info, everything I could possibly need to make a decision. Then he documented the entire packing and delivery process with photos and emails and kept in touch throughout. Faultless and as highly recommended as can be by one of BC's most frequent users of the FS forums!!!!

Cheers Nige, Karl, Jack and Ray! I've been champing at the bit for us to release this as I'm so excited by it (it was recorded and mixed over summer and autumn 2012 but only recently mastered)

[sub]Cheers Lozz! Leaving office now, whoop whoop[/sub]

Thanks matey! Normally the two lead singers and guitarist thrash it out in one of their kitchens, then the rest of us come in and work out bass/mandolin/percussion lines to rough recordings. In this particular case there were quite a lot of extra flourishes added in the studio (Spanish guitar overdub, lots of reverb - way more than we usually use - as we wanted it to be a bit soundtrack-y).

Here is a taster from our debut album 'Hearts for Judas', due out in July. This song is called 'Las Vegas Parano' (which for those googling translates as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in Spanish). It needs to be played loud! Has an additional BassChat connection in that the Spanish guitar was borrowed for the recording from our Nigel/silddx/xilldx. Hope you all enjoy it - we're immensely proud of this one [url="http://soundcloud.com/all-the-queens-ravens/las-vegas-parano"]http://soundcloud.com/all-the-queens-ravens/las-vegas-parano[/url] PS, apologies for double posting but very few BCers seem to visit the Recording sub-forum where I initially posted this - and I am very excited by this!

Thanks James - the bass has arrived at home .. but I'm currently stuck in the office and may be here late

Thats a really high quality recording. The Jazz sounds lovely

There's a name for people like you!

I had exactly the same yesterday. I paid up and am keeping fingers crossed it doesn't result in an import charge. If it does, it will be my last order from them

Airport porn? Do tell, Jas ...

More seriously, you very well know the answer Nige! Combination of hero worship and anorak-ry (I am partial to a bit of it myself too)

Coz if I play the same base wot Flea played it will make me a betta playa init

Vicente Amigo's new album Tierra, which combines flamenco with Celtic music and is a real grower (I was a bit meh at first as I like a bit of fiery flamenco and this is much more nuanced and world music-y) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2zY_9E5DNk[/media]
