Hopefully this is part of the 10th anniversary celebration of Noel’s debut (can’t believe I just wrote that). Put some juice into the project.

Sales links now up. 41 minute single + remixes disc: www.fsoldigital.com/product/we-persuade-ourselves-we-are-immortal-mpb-remixes-doublepack/41 minute single only: www.fsoldigital.com/product/we-persuade-ourselves-we-are-immortal/The Amorphous Androgynous return with the symphonic, 40-minute prog space-rock concept album We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal. The album contains 5 epic parts, featuring the legendary Peter Hammill (the Van Der Graaf Generator) on vocals alongside a host of musicians including: Paul Weller (piano and guitar), Ray Fenwick (Spencer Davis Group/Ian Gillan) on lead guitar, Brian Hopper (Caravan/Soft Machine) on sax. The Chesterfield Philharmonic Choir and a 25-piece live orchestral string section round out this sumptuously-recorded album. We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal opens with the 13-minute epic of the title track (written with Peter Hammill and Paul Weller). The themes of mortality / immortality are then musically and conceptually catapulted to the far-flung corners of the AA sonic multiverse over 40+ minutes. Channelling A Space Odyssey, the dystopian choirs and moog of Hymortality crash full-force into the John-Bonham-like drums of The Immortality Break. Meanwhile, Synthony On A Theme of Mortality lives up to its name, utilizing the classic 70s Yamaha CS80 synth before progressing to a female wailing aria against classic vintage guitar rock. The whole cosmic trip cascades finally into the harp daydream reverie, choir and romantic strings of Physically I’m Here, Mentally Far, Far Away. http://instagram.com/p/CHSZPBBAGUW X

Just received my copy today. Two full sized CD cases for a single.
Genuinely running out of CD storage space now. Thinking about an IKEA hack to extend my CD racks upwards.... maybe get some ladders on the go.

It’s at the more songy end of their spectrum - I think Gaz said Noel influenced their next album to be more songy. It sounds very 70s. Big Floyd influence. X

Gaz on the track (and how it sounds like 1971 era Pink Floyd):
“ I love that period of Floyd and that frustrated year I spent making Noel G’s ‘ Everybod’s On The Run ‘ into a floyd epic left me with the vision and know how and the hunger so once I’d dusted myself down from all t the disappointment there I went for it on this instead ! ”
REALLY wanna hear the version of Everybody’s On The Run that sounds kinda like this 😍😍😍

Noel’s fourth album will probably be coming out around then, so we’ll probably get nothing for the debut anniversary, but I live in hope we get at least a track or two from the AA sessions. Noel said he couldn’t be arsed to finish the AA album but this year he’s been stuck in his own studio in a pandemic enforced lockdown. So if he doesn’t finish some songs now he probably never will!!

X Scary to think it’s been almost 10 years! I remember so vividly checking for Noel debut solo album updates religiously end of 2009 and all of 2010. AA? That ship has sailed.

There was a a guy who walked backward in Tokyo, 9 hours... you'd think that was too long. I almost watched the entire thing. Cant say i would listen to a track that's one month long though. For instance, when do you sleep ? coz if you pause, you lose interest.

Wouldn't it be nice, given 2020 has been a bit of a shitter, if NG dropped the AA album as free download on Xmas morning. Only dreaming, of course

Noel his said his next album might be a double and will be eclectic, so maybe Crimson Rambler will get an airing at the very least.
Hahahahhaaha.

On Facebook Gaz has said their new album probably won’t be out til next year now, which is a shame, but the next album length single, Crossing Over, will definitely be out this year. That’s the one with Weller on vocals and Noel on bass and drums. Looking forward to finally hearing this, the demos they’ve posted sounded really good. X

Was it ever proven/disproven that Noel did indeed destroy the master tapes? I know he said he did but you know Noel
