Introducing...STILL MOVEMENT the brand new album from Billy Currie. Weighing in at 6lb 8oz, baby and fatha doing well !

Just received your new CD through the post Billy, thanks very much. Recognised your handwriting on the jiffy bag immediately from the autographed stuff I already have.

Well, I'm off out in the TT to listen to the new born. Verdict coming soon.......

THANKS AGAIN

MR PIG

Does anyone know where I can buy this CD? Amazon are quoting 2-3 days delivery, but that means I'm going to back in the Middle East before receiving my CD If anyone knows of stores in London which are carrying it please let me know. Thanks Paul.

Any REPLICAS Billy!?!

Billy let's have some more of those signed CD's available. Give us your bank details...the Forum will surely boost it up!!!

Congratulations MR PIG and how's the little one?

My Billy (my son) is 18 months old. Ahead of his time. He's asked me for an ARP for XMAS. No Billy, you'll have to go for a minimoog. Remember you're a Replica!!!

Chris C

Thanks for that Mr Cross We're all fine as it happens.....I envisage a lot of sleepless nights ahead in the coming weeks.



Just played the first few tracks from Still Movement and was well impressed. Will be giving it big licks to and from work this week :p

Opened the inlay card and found Billy's message and scribble, a nice surprise !

Looking forward to getting the headphones on tonight and aquainting myself with 'Movement'

The pig is a smilin'

as always

CD thussly ordered through Billy's Amazon linky.

Chris/Connie's Pig: Am introducing my young'uns to PROPER music* after digging out my 100W bass bin from storage and hitching it up to some quality sounds purchased through this very site.

The neighbours complained, and they live on the other side of the island.

* I realise that saying this makes me look incredibly old. Which I am.

Congratulations on your new arrival, CP

No, it aint my new arrival

It's Billy's new album

Mr Pig

I have a great idea. Why don't we ask our Billy to pay us a visit on The Forum just before XMAS!!!

(and please don't ever say Billy Ocean!!! )

So Billy John. Gives us your XMAS message or Piggy will get you!!!

Chris C

Billy Leigh!!!!!!!

Er...anyway...Billy's made appearances here. I'm hoping his CD will at least arrive in my postbox by my birthday (December 2) never mind Christmas! Hard to say if Billy will make another appearance here by Christmas. Don't know... Maybe.

Mrs. X

Well, Billy's a busy bee aint he. Brand new album out, etc. Listened to it again today and it's definately a grower mind you. Some great stuff on there so dip ya hands into ya pockets cos I'm sure it's on general sale from Monday 29th Nov.

Hey Chris, aye, a fusion of Billy Currie and John Foxx. A one for the sentimentalist I reckon. As for the two of 'em spawning a sprog in a musical sense......well, remember that Ice-skater...

JOHN CURRIE

or was it 'Curry', oh hell, dinnat go there.....that word.........Cur......Curr...............CURRY !!!

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRP !!!!!!!!!

Soz folks, terrible flatulence I sport

THAT CP GADGEY WANTS BLUDDY CERTIFYING !!!

NO HE DOESN'T

YES HE DOES

NO HE DOESN'T

Anyway, splash out on Billy's new born, a wise move indeed.

Hey Billy, giz the tenner later !

You talking to yersel' again Piggy. You know where you'll end up - the funny farm (Pig - farm - geddit)!! <img border="0" alt="[Shake head]" title="" src="graemlins/shakehead.gif" />

My coat is on and the taxi has arrived.

Mr Pig,

I'll get it just in time for the New Year's concert in Vienna!

Billy we all understand what a workholic you are!! Keep it up son!!

T A X IIIIIII

Bleedin' 'ell Ash, has Billy got you COMMISSION or WHAT?!!!

Buy Nissan, quality motors, built by farm animals and driven by Edinburgh folk called Donald.

I always wondered why me cars ayewiz ficked...built by a bunch o SMB's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Drinks are on you Ashley Corr

Sleepy, ya not wrong there mind. An Audi TT leaves the 350Z a standin' in my humble. Av seen first hand what ganz into these motors and a wuddint touch one. Nissan....pah !!!
Hows the Primera gannin' then. Hope ya took out a decent warranty with it. We're building the new Quashki n' Tone [S.O.P Feb '06] and they come with tow rope as standard. Heated rear screen too..........ti keep ya hands warm when ya pushin' it

Gung-Ho !!!

Hey Flip, aye yev sussed it....az on 10% commision wi Billy's new album, as you know, I do have connections in this area. Do ya fancy buying yersel a copy and reviewing it ???
A heard on the grapevine ya done a review for the 'Unearthed' album.

Nice one

Nope, but I did the Unearthed concerts review for Cerise and it were a bloody good night...

As for buying a copy of the new album...yeah right, har har... No ta matey - I don't hold grudges, but if someone ****s around with me I'm not one to forgive without an apology. Old news now anyway, yawn yawn...
:p

Spent me dosh on Colin and Danny's opus - excellent stuff.

Yeah Flip, I understand. Having said that though, it's nice to get an apology back when you've given one yourself aint it.

A loaded comment aimed in my direction? I don't know what you're referring to, but for the record...

If you think I've ever said anything to you that was unprovoked by your previous outbursts in my direction then I apologise on here for them. I can't think of anything that wasn't provoked, but you of course may well feel differently.

If I didn't respond to your private apology in the way you wanted, maybe that was because from where I was sat, I didn't think there was anything for me to apologise for at the time.

You never gave any inkling that you were expecting one so maybe you're referring to summat else; you'll have enlighten me...

Talking of Nissans... We drove a Nissan Almera while on holiday in Inverness - it had the worst gearbox I've ever used...and it accelerated like a shed nailed to the floor. Comfy though...

Eh , I wasn't referring to you. If I was I would contacted ya directly, which I did.
Water under the bridge me reckons. Old hat.

Anyway, the Almera....rough as a bouncers bull-terrier

Won one in the company draw this time last year and sold it on for a handsome sum, top o' the range anarl !!

Fair enough, I didn't know what you could be referring to so assumed it was that. That's all right then. So er...don't do it again...er or something...*ahem*...

Yeah well, if I had a TT, I wouldn't exactly be interested in keeping a Nissan either...

Great!!!

Cancelled by tickets to Amazonia !

Off to Huddersfield!!!

Thanks Piggy!!

Chris C

Nice one Piggy!!

Chris C

At last...
My SM cd is on it´s way from Amazon - my god it has been a looong time to wait...Now it´s only a matter of days!

All the best from Denmark
Ole

You should be so lucky ! Since the family are cutting down on Christmas this year ( Nativity scene a pale reflection of its Blue Peter glory years - Mary's become a single-parent family, only one shepherd (and he can only stay at the stable for half an hour because the parlous state of modern farming means he has to get back to "diversify") and the Three Educationally Advantaged Democratically Elected Leaders are all bearing Gift Vouchers) the only thing I could think of that I really wanted (apart from Helen Baxendale covered in marzipan and drizzled with Apfelscnapps ) was STILL MOVEMENT , so I have to wait another three-and-a-half-weeks to get my fix (and our Bill has to wait another two weeks for his tenner, or some meagre cut of this after packaging, marketing, handling, managemental and hot air charges have been rapaciously grabbed from it to his detriment). Mind you, anticipation is a fine aperitif.

Mr Pig,



He'll wake up this morning to such fine tunes...not Ginger but The Great Incontestable Star!!!

Cheers

Mr C
Hey Piggy how's your PC? Feeling better after all that operation!

Give it some of that Still Movement and he'll be a happy chappie too!!

Back on subject: Got my copy of Still Movement today - utterly blown away by it.

Another high-quality work from Billy. Well done, sir!

I agree...listened to it and drifted into the heavens. He takes the granular synthesis sound even further to create this unique ambient sound.
Stately is the stand out track and probably the most upbeat.

For me it's up there with Cathedral Oceans.

Billy you are the Great Incontestable Star.

Chris C
PS Billy, once I play it a few times more I'll add my full commemts on the album to your topic.

Please, pour light into my benighted brain: what exactly is "granular synthesis"? Sounds like summat fer t'do with the manufacture of sugar! The sleeve notes for "PUSH" refer to it without ever really explaining it. I'm sure someone here must know.

Aha! You haven't visited our Billy's website.



You'll enjoy it especially the section on fiddles.!

You'll find your answer under:

http://www.billycurrie.com/music.html

Double click on the album 'Push' and read the notes.

Enjoy the site!!

Chris C

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The website stuff was pretty much what I knew already, and I was curious about why it's called "granular" synthesis, and how the technique differs from other forms of sampling and distortion (about which I know little more than their names).

That's a technical question for the maestro.

E-mail Billy via his website

info@billycurrie.com

Ask for Diamond Dave and say that Chris (from The Forum) sent you.

Billy's a busy man. He answers some e-mails not all.

With regards to John Foxx I email Rob:

robinharris@metamatic.com

If Billy's busy John's nowhere to be seen. I feel 2005 is going to be a big year for him.

What a passion we've all got for synth music.

I say...modern classic music Oesterreicher Zweiter...mmm Vienna !

Chris C

IT CAME!!!!!!!!

Never did I think in my wildest dreams that I would get an unintentional birthday present from a member of Ultravox...but I did! (Yes, today I turn 32.) TALK ABOUT TIMING!!!!

Thank you Billy!

Mrs. X

Happy Birthday Mrs X!

Mr C

Mrs. X Congratulations! A little birthday song from Denmark: Så gi´r hun nok en lille en...

I got my CD yesterday - wow I LOVE IT!!! - congratulations to you Billy for such a nice work of art...Another great album to my BC collection!!

Thanks Chris C and Ole, for the birthday wishes!!!

Chris: Er...he's sitting quietly on the coffee table. I haven't had a chance to listen to him yet.

Mrs. X

Can I just say that I had Still Movement once, but some Senokot sorted that little problem out...

Ba dum bum tsssh... :p

Mrs. X

The triplets arrived safely nicely wrapped. They never separate. I wonder how they would get along during XMAS!

Cheers!

Chris C

Kind words Chris, Cheers

Just glad to get those discs out to ya, I know you were lookin' forward to receiving them. As you'll agree, the footage is rare and almost impossible to get hold of these days.......all the more reason to share eh.

As for the Curry........oh don't tempt 'uz squire. That stuff has been the undoing of a noble little piggy from time to time.
Havin' said tho......a cannit remember the last time a' refused a one. As 'Infection' says.....FOOD FROM THE GODS. mmmm

Eez not wrong there mind

Glad to hear the triplets have bonded mate !!
Speak again soon, toodle pip

Hey Chris, al hev a laugh anywhere me

Yep, might just be over your neck o' the woods soon as it happens, nice to hear there's an abundance of fine Curry houses waiting.

I heard Billy went for an Injun Banquet with their lass just afore Crimmy. Maybe that explains why he aint been here for a short while, mebeez he overdid it a tad

I reckon Billy's a Vindaloo fella me'sel..........hits all the reet notes and has a fiery kick to boot ! The jewel in the crown of all Ruby Murray's eh Mind you Billy, after a one o' them down ya neck yel have to tone down the dance routines mate.......then again, if you've gorra pair o' bicycle clips hands then just hoy them round ya ankles.

BICYCLE CLIPS eh....me fatha used ti call them Shitcatchers !!!! <img border="0" alt="[Shake head]" title="" src="graemlins/shakehead.gif" />

Any personal appearances planned to coincide with the SM release then Billy ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />
