“(…) And 45 minutes later I took a deep breath and realised that the world was suddenly quiet and empty and promptly cued the sucker up again and enveloped myself in the world of Engine 7’s newborn. This is absolutely bloody wonderful. (…)” – Alan’s new label Herb Recordings is pretty euphoric about his new album. And indeed, the wait was worthwhile.

It was about three years back we published the CDr-version of “Hope Street” in close collaboration with Legoego Netlabel. The EP was a huge success for both 12rec. and Legoego these days, and Alan came up with some small EPs at Microhertz and Pre|Post not much later in 2005. Then things became quiet around Glasgow melancholica McNeill and his Engine7-moniker…

Exactly one year ago, Zymogen Netlabel releases a remix album from Crepusculum’s “Sky Diaries EP” out on 12rec. in December 2006. Engine7 is featured with a cine scope rework of  “Anachronism” and wins the hearts of both knob tweakers and broken-hearted girls. At this time, his full-length “Me, But Perfect” is already ready to go but had to suffer some delay until now. Several live gigs, two awesome tracks on different Netaudio compilations (“Phantom Channel I” and “Drifting Skywards” as posted on this blog) and a baby daugther later, the CD is finally available.

The album consists of 11 huge songs, somewhere between IDM, Postrock and New Romantics-style Pop. You can listen to the album at last.fm, but make sure to order the fine CD over at Herb Rec if you dig “Me, But Perfect”. Well done mate!
