Pagan Altar hat geschrieben:I have decided to redo the music on the room of shadows.
This album was finished and could have come out in 2014, but neither of us was happy with it. Believe me if my Dad wanted this to come he would have brought it out in 2014.I am not going into the whys and wherefores of this because it is not anyone else’s concern, and I certainly am not getting drawn into any slagging matches online.
I have recently asked Andy and Diccon to come in and redo the respective parts. This will take some time because we have really got to go back to the beginning. We have made a start but it will take some time. This has obviously put a few noses out of joint and bruised a few egos and I’m sure there is going to be a lot of rubbish said, but at the end of the day this is my music and no one else’s, and I certainly don’t want to bring out something I wouldn’t want to listen to myself.

During my time with PA I played those tracks hundreds of times in rehearsals and they are some of their best material to date especially the one about Jack the Ripper.
It's also really great to hear that Alan decided to re-record the tracks and use Diccon on bass who in my opinion was their best bassist and not use my so called friend who I got in the band, whom also ended up being the nemesis to my end with the band.
Respect and love to Alan and the rest of the team.

Alan Jones hat geschrieben:I could not get to a computer yesterday so I was not able to put this post up. I thought it would be nice to tell a funny tale about my dad when he was younger and not to just go on about how I miss him.
My dad had quite a few jobs in the 60’s and early seventies because for one he wasn’t very good with authority and kept getting the sack and the other was there was quite a lot of jobs going around at that time. On one of these jobs was he was working outside a scout hut in the middle of a park. There were no facilities available if you got caught short, and unfortunately for my dad he ended up breaking his neck for a number 2. By the time he had finished work for the day it had got dark and hanging on wasn’t an option anymore and he decided to break into the scout hut and relieve himself. There was no light to be found and it was also pitch black. After finding a bit of space in the dark he preceded in doing the deed. After he had finished the job he felt about for something to wipe his posterior with and after a while came across a large cloth lying on a table. After a most satisfying and relieving poo he made his escape out into the darkness of the park.
The next day my dad was back to finish off the job from the day before and was greeted by a very red face scout leader at the door of the scout hut. He had the door wide open and was in full rant mode. He said to my dad “Bloody Kids, they’ve got no bloody respect. Not only have the little bastards broken in they have shit all over our flag. He then held up the Union Jack of Red white blue and brown.
