Sigmatropic: Could That Be The Voice?

A very limited edition 180-gsm 12" EP featuring 5 alternate vocal versions of songs that appeared on Sixteen Haiku & Other Stories. I’m doing vocals on Haiku 11 this time, alongside other contributions by Mark Mulcahy, Carla Torgerson and James William Hindle.

Next Monday will see the release of a limited-edition heavyweight vinyl Sigmatropic 12" called Could That Be The Voice?, on the U.K. label Tongue Master.  It consists of alternate versions of a few of the Seferis haikus that were featured on their 16 Haiku album.  I’m on it, doing vocals for a different haiku than the ones I did on the main record or on the Comes With A Smile CD.  Dunno how one would go about getting a copy of the 12" ’round these parts, but I’m sure those of you who want it bad enough will find a way.

I found Muze listed at FuckedCompany.com, that’s another place I used to work ten years ago.  There was always a lot of controversy there between the workers and management, so I wasn’t surprised to see people had complained about it.  But despite all that, we had a super excellent team back then, and I made more lasting friendships there than almost anywhere else I’ve worked.  One guy who commented on FC actually listed the nicknames of our whole ’93 crew and even gave me a personal shout-out!!  I mean, as one of the NICE people, as opposed to somebody he’d complain about.  I know who it was, too, and I feel the same way about him, and everyone he listed.
