Revision

Revision could be best described as an album that ties up a lot of the loose ends from the years 2000 - 2004. Five of the songs are collaborations with songwriter Richard Anderson. These songs were meant to be part of a larger collaboration that has remained unreleased until now. The rest are songs recorded during the sessions for my first two albums (which will be re-released shortly). This is perhaps my most diverse work so far with several songs ("Corruption" and "29 Seconds Earlier") being in styles I've never really tried before. Earlier this year I found myself revisiting all these songs again and realised there was a potential album there. Much work still needed to be done, "Forever Yours" had an elaborate mix of piano, strings and choir added while "Over The Edge" was a complete re-write. "29 Seconds Earlier" is based around my original demo for "29 Seconds". As much as I love the re-written version you hear on "The Face Wall" I realised there were some parts of the original demo I still liked, so I decided to develop the idea in its original (and very different) direction. This also explains the reasoning behind the title. The end result is an album that has gelled surprisingly well, given that the songs were intended for two very different albums.
