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 La Dispute Tiny Dots Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Big Scary Monsters | 180g, 1LP Released 15th April 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders La Dispute Tiny Dots £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Big Scary Monsters SKU: BSM181 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jimmy Eat World Stay On My Side Tonight Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | UMC | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 4th January 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jimmy Eat World Stay On My Side Tonight £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: UMC SKU: 4744269 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 4th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Frank Black & The Catholics Frank Black And The Catholics – 25th Anniversary Half-Speed Master Edition Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Demon Records | 180g, 1LP, Half Speed Mastered Released 19th January 2024 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Black & The Catholics Frank Black And The Catholics – 25th Anniversary Half-Speed Master Edition £25.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Demon Records SKU: DEMREC1153 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Half Speed Mastered Released Date: 19th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Guided By Voices It’s Not Them.
