The Enid news...

A bit of bubbling activity at The Lodge with the Enid finally...a year after releasing a few rehearsal clips on their website, Robert John Godfrey has issued forth a few more tantalising tidbits of info for the long patient faithful Enidi...

Read it all HERE.

Some highlights (any time you see "I" below, please remember this is Robert John Godfrey speaking, not yr. obd't blogger):

I have added a great rehearsal recording of "Dark Hydraulic" featuring Jason Ducker on Guitar and Dave Story on Drums. Not perfect but exciting I hope...

It looks like the new band will start touring in earnest from Feb 2009. However there are going to be quite a few low profile warm gigs before then. I am rather rusty and the younger band members need to get used to the way we do things...

A little bit about the new Album (Far Out - Working Title):

The following topics form the underling dynamic of The Enid's long awaited and still incomplete album - but I have now crossed the Rubicon with this task and I can be certain it will be finished, God willing.

The music itself paints a hopeful vision of a post-apocalyptic future. In fact this is the most optimistic music I have ever composed.

Yet it is also a warning - a picture of what the future can be but only if we are prepared to make the sacrifices now in order to have it. It could also be prediction of what we will never amount to - A Bridge Too Far.
