A very Long Way from Anywhere Else

Spaceheads and Max Eastley – 2007

This CD is a follow up to “the time of the ancient astronaut” released in 2001. It was recorded at two very different locations , one an island of  the south of france , and the other a remote village on the north  yorkshire moors, both venues a very long way from anywhere else.

The shed is as the name suggests  not much more than a shed in the  very small village of Brawby .
The Mimi festival gig was held on  one of the friouli islands south of marseille,the former site of a  leper colony. It was on the way to the  island we sailed pass the infamous  ‘chateau d’if ‘ the setting for incarceration of the future ‘count de  monte cristo ‘.

A reading of the book  was the inspiration for most of the titles  on the cd.

“ taste this, and the boundaries of possibility disappear; the fields of infinite space open to you, you advance free in heart, free in mind, into the boundless realms of unfettered reverie.” Alexandre Dumas  ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’
