Peter Broderick, Machinefabriek, Various - Brian Records 0000001

Brian the music club was started almost five years ago as an excuse for seven guys to meet at the pub and to be rude about each others tastes in music. Now we are at our 50th meeting and it has transformed into something wonderful.

To celebrate our 50th meeting I wanted to create something really special so I wrote to friends, family and past contributors asking them to write something to join us in our celebration. The result is more than an odds and sods compilation, it is a selection of songs which could happily form five EPs in their own rights and yet flows as one beautiful whole. Machinefabriek has provided two very special tracks, Ax, which was written for Brian 50 and is also featured on the Nerf record, and Nerf (Brian Version) which is exclusive to this release. Peter Broderick has written a stunning lullaby to the three Brian's he has known. There is also a beatbox intro, electro acoustic pop songs, field recordings, solo piano recorded to an old tape and of course some straight forward rock.

Brian 50 includes an 8" lathe cut record with a song by every artist and two locked grooves, a CD with even more music, a hand drawn hand made sleeve and a history of Brian the music club. The release is limited to 50 hand numbered copies of which only 30 are available for sale. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed making it. Jim Lad - Brian Records
