On Friday 2nd June 2017 God Unknown Records will release McBain’s Accidental Soundtracks Vol. 1: The Alpha Particle. Recorded in his own home studio in San Francisco this record sees the instrumentalist McBain giving us his masterpiece. Although the record may never have seen the light of day if it had not been for a discussion about modern recording technology. McBain says; “This record was the result of a dare. My friend Luis Gutiérrez and I were talking about “how easy it is to make a record” with current technology. So we challenged each other to record a song a day until we had a complete album. This record is the result. I made an Accidental Soundtrack. Took about two weeks.” McBain had thought about the way he used to make music. It was all so immediate. Quick and painless. Throw up some mics. Hit record. Add a vocal and one guitar overdub. Done. No more tracks left. Next song. He wanted to work like that again. Here’s the thing; modern recording technology makes its too easy to drag your feet as there are so many options, so many tracks and lots of distractions. Accidental Soundtracks Volume 1: The Alpha Particle is recorded with modern technology but recorded in an ‘analog’ way. Limited to no more than 8 tracks and using complete takes with the guitar and bass tracks. Make a mistake and you gotta go back to the top. McBain’s first solo album, The In Flight Feature, was a soundtrack for a 70s movie that didn’t exist and Accidental Soundtracks Volume 1: The Alpha Particleis an extension of that idea. But the sounds are more deeply rooted in the 80s, less Tangerine Dream and more John Carpenter. McBain recorded everything himself, except for Colby Hewitt, plays drums on Colby’s Last Ride. The rest is all McBain. “I like to work alone.” God Unknown Records is an experimental label committed to bringing the best heavy far out sounds around. Championing artists including Bardo Pond, Acid Mothers Temple, Clinic, Mugstar, Sex Swing, Cavalier Song, Dead Neanderthals amongst others, while providing a platform for everything from psychedelic rock to folk to punk to jazz to avant-garde music Artist John McBain Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label God Unknown Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 Fade In Fade Out 2 The Alpha Particle 3 Lower California 4 Captions and Credits 5 Interloper 6 Accidental Soundtrack 7 Fade Out Fade In 8 First Earth Battalion 9 Focal Point 10 Colby's Last Ride 11 No Guitars 12 The Hookup 13 Malibu Run 14 Ecliptic Plane Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Leatherface Minx Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Call Of The Void | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 19th August 2022 £23.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Leatherface Minx £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Call Of The Void SKU: VOID005LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th August 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Austeros Painted Blue Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Specialist Subject | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th May 2016 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Austeros Painted Blue £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Specialist Subject SKU: SPS044 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Of Montreal Innocence Reaches Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Polyvinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 8th August 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Of Montreal Innocence Reaches £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Polyvinyl SKU: 0644110031716 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Unknown Instructors Unwilling to Explain Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | ORG | 1LP Released 15th February 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Unknown Instructors Unwilling to Explain £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: ORG SKU: 0711574865819 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Breeders, The Mountain Battles Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | 4AD | 1LP Released 15th May 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Breeders, The Mountain Battles £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: 4AD SKU: CAD2803 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Faint, The Capsule: 1999-2016 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Saddle Creek | 1LP Released 28th October 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Faint, The Capsule: 1999-2016 £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Saddle Creek SKU: 0648401024517 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tricot The Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Topshelf | 1LP Released 16th December 2022 £19.00 - £23.00 Select options Tricot The £19.00 - £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Topshelf Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th December 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Refused Freedom Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th June 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Refused Freedom £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 273701 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th June 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pere Ubu Pennsylvania Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fire Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 10th September 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pere Ubu Pennsylvania £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fire Records SKU: FIRELP371X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Glands, The The Glands Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | New West | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 6th November 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Glands, The The Glands £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: New West SKU: NW5225LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 6th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
