29/09/07 – New recordings in progress!!!

 

It has just been confirmed that The Masked Musician is back in the studio again.  It’s understood that he is re-recording some of the tracks from his 2002 debut album ‘Cold Blooded Innocence’.  Apparently new versions of 8 of the original 13 tracks are being re-done with the intention of re-releasing ‘Cold Blooded Innocence’ commercially sometime early next year. 

 

“The first album was never released commercially and only went around in small numbers as a private issue.  I wanted to re-record some of those tracks as the production values weren’t so great on the first album and because I think some of those songs are worth re-visiting.” Said The Masked Musician.  Currently there is no information about which of the tracks from the album are being re-done, but details will follow as soon as these become available.
