Mr. Craddick II: the sequel.

[daydreamer]

OK, it's been 362 days since the first world renowned post about Paul's (yes Paul, you ) endeavor's.
Being the loquacious guy he thankfully is, I think it's time for an update. So, Paul, what's the current status of things? Are you still thinking of releasing that material you've been working with Mrs. Craddick? Is that project trashed? Are you considering of doing a collaboration with other musicians of a certain caliber, it being a trendy thing and all? What happened to furious skeleton records? We need input godammit, don't let that musical spirit die, I believe we've all been wounded enough *pun intended* when Geimer quit the business.

I remember him being absorbed by the computer industry, and I also recollect that you're into something similar as well. I hope the claws of corporate america don't get the best out of you, it would be a shame...

mmm. I remember that the reason I became an Enchant fan was because somebody made me listen to Xen. I liked this album so much that after that I bought the whole Enchant catalogue.
So I would like to know as well what Paul's been up to lately. And seeing him post in here from time to time may give us the opportunity to ask him this and to get an answer. Thanks DAYDREAMER for posting this thread.

Thanks Keeper!

OK another thing I'd like to ask Paul since he seems to be lost in cyberspace is this:

When you have a drum groove/idea/chop/whatever in your mind, how close is what you actually play to what you had in mind you wanted to play? I'm not sure I'm getting clear enough about this, but there are many situations, at least for me when, what I think is different in various degrees from the final outcome, regardless whether others like it in the end or not.

Cheers!


:hotjump: (no particular reason for this smilie, but hey, it's funny!)

I'd love to see the Craddick's hook up with Mr. Rothery again for The Wishing Tree pt. 2. One of my favorite "side projects" ever.

Please fill me in on something that must have escaped me. What is this wishing Tree project? I'd very much like to know something about it. I only know about Paul's solo CD Xen.

check it out here.

Thanks. I've listened to three clips. Sounds quite folky, a bit Irish in fact.
Not bad at all.

Paul's wife Hannah has a beautiful voice. I would hope that anything he does in the future would include her on vocals.

I agree - pretty cool! Thanks for posting the link, IL! Too bad, though, you can't hear much of Paul on any of the clips. No matter, though, it is on my shopping list! Hannah's voice is pretty interesting - yes, defintiely a Celtic feel. I will be in the UK next week so I'll have a look about in record shops.

IL - are you able to catch Neal anywhere on his little tour? I can't wait for the 21st in NJ!

I was planning on making the 8 hour trip to see the Nashville Tower Records gig, which I heard was really cool, however, some personal issues prevented it from happening. Unless he finds himself in the Chicago area, the odds of seeing Testimony live aren't very good at this time.

I see Enchant and SB are doing a show together on Nov. 5 in CA. Tough seeing your favorite bands if you don't live on one of the coasts.

I was going to see Neal the 21st being as I live in NJ but I have to go down to Kentucky that very weekend for a percussion festival

Are you seeing Spock's Beard there the weekend before?
