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 Makthaverskan III Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Run For Cover Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 20th October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Makthaverskan III £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Run For Cover Records SKU: 0811774028745 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pavement Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Matador | 4LP, Box Set Released 8th April 2022 £76.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pavement Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal £76.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Matador SKU: OLE1799LP Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Joan Of Arc 1984 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Joyful Noise Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th May 2018 £12.99 £21.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Joan Of Arc 1984 £12.99 £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Joyful Noise Recordings SKU: JNR263LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th May 2018 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Tribe After Tribe Tribe After Tribe Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Megaforce | 1LP Released 30th January 2024 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Tribe After Tribe Tribe After Tribe £12.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Megaforce SKU: nn279957 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th January 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Remo Drive Natural, Everyday Degradation Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP Released 14th June 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Remo Drive Natural, Everyday Degradation £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 8714092766813 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Disconnects, The Wake Up Dead Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Baldylonghair | 1LP Released 14th January 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Disconnects, The Wake Up Dead £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Baldylonghair SKU: BLR011 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Drums, The Jonny Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Anti | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 13th October 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Drums, The Jonny £30.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Anti SKU: 278443 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 13th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tom Morello The Atlas Underground Fire Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Mom & Pop | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st April 2022 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tom Morello The Atlas Underground Fire £35.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Mom & Pop SKU: LPMP584C Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Amyl & The Sniffers U Should Not Be Doing That Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rough Trade | 7", Single Released 24th May 2024 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Amyl & The Sniffers U Should Not Be Doing That £9.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rough Trade SKU: RT0489S Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 24th May 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View These Immortal Souls I’m Never Gonna Die Again Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Mute | 1LP Released 12th April 2024 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders These Immortal Souls I’m Never Gonna Die Again £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Mute SKU: LSTUMM98 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
