THE SUPERIMPOSERS

"..new Superimposers single sounds great....is there gonna be a Vinyl?"

2012-01-19T16:43:00.004Z

We've noticed that hot on the tails of each Superimposers release there appears to follow a unanimous call for a vinyl format. Now we of course love vinyl and from past experience can't think of a more satisfying feeling than a newly manufactured vinyl disc arriving in the post.

However, these things don't come cheap and John Stammers is already demanding that his next LP be released on Laser Disc...

So this is what we propose to do. Our new EP "People" is out this month as a digital download along with a limited number of handmade CDs but many people have requested a vinyl release too! If we can guarantee over the next few weeks that enough people would be interested in buying a limited edition 3 track 10" of the new E.P. "People" then we'll get some pressed up.

The 10" will be numbered and very limited, 250. (NO REPRESS!) A complimentary MP3 download will also be included.

8.99 inc P+P UK
9.99 inc P+P EU
10.99 inc P+P WORLD

All we ask of everyone is that you email us "YES PLEASE PEOPLE VINYL" to info@wonderfulsound.com. If we get a good response over the next few weeks you can look forward to the pleasure of a Superimposers 10" to have and to hold. And it will be because of you, the People!

So get out on those forum's, social network's, web log's podcast's and shout in the streets to let the world know....... "The Superimposers are back on vinyl", well maybe!

Get mailing now. We look forward to you clogging up our inbox.

Miles & Dan.

CHRISTMAS AGAIN!

2011-12-01T10:41:00.004Z

Once again like the reliability of an old Volkswagen, we are pleased to announce the release (or re-release, how ever you want to view it) of our seasonal EP, 'Christmas Again!' 2011.

This is a five track EP, Kicking off with the 'eventual' hit, 'Christmas Again!' followed by the Shawn Lee narrated, 'Chasing Xmas' which jingles into the music box version of 'Would it be Impossible' entitled, ahem....'Would it be Christmas'..!..then we take a real vacation down in Honalulu with 'Xmas in Hawaii' this all concludes with an all round reflective sing-a-long called 'The Love came 'a Tricklin' down'.

The idea behind this EP, particularly 'Christmas Again!' is to continually release it each year until the song becomes as familiar in peoples minds as the steam off a Christmas pudding, the smell of mulled wine, the cracking of crackers and perhaps the punctuality of the Queens speech.

Let The Superimposers be your sound track to that special day.....or, there's always next year!

Merry Christmas!!

WOULD IT BE IMPOSSIBLE ..with Free Ringtone!

2011-10-11T13:45:00.018+01:00

Sometime during the ever lasting tweak of our first single ‘Over The Bridge’, more new tracks were beginning to take shape, slowly but surely.

SIDE A

‘Would It Be Impossible’ became the second Superimposers 7” release and would prove to ‘have legs’. We realised we had something going on with this Superimposers lark although Would It Be Impossible nearly didn’t happen at all. The idea started with a sample from an LP found in a dusty Dorset charity shop, released by some far flung Asian artist that no-one seemed to have heard of, especially us! Dans weekly root through his local thrift store found him digging deeper and crossing fingers that the next Readers Digest record would contain the ultimate break. One record in particular caught his eye but never quite made it back to the studio. Until one day felling sorry for it he thought that

1) it needed a home
2) it had been sat there for quite sometime
3) the CBS label was all in chinese typface
4) the girl on the cover was pretty
5) it actually could be quite good!

Thankfully, contained on the album were two separate samples on two different tracks that seemed to fit together and were in the same key! There was a rather eerie sound to these loops, you could tell there was a great song dying to break out. So we chopped the samples up, arranged them adding instrumentation & FX. The Roland Space Echo also came into play at this point which you can here at the end of the track. It adds a sense of Psychedelic urgency! The Fender Rhodes begins to get used in full effect, adds to the overall sound and acts as the sonic anchor. For the first time we felt really confident that this song & music was finished!

It was released, once again on a limited run of 500 copies, found its way onto the Wall Of Sound, ‘We Love You’ compilation that year alongside the likes of The Scissor Sisters and the track continues to be The Superimposers anthem to this day. We always enjoy playing it live and if you were ever lucky enough to pick up an original copy with the blue background and white lino cut Swan, then like us you’d agree it is a beautiful and (now very rare) thing to behold!

SIDE AA

The Flip Side to this single was ‘The Lovely Sky Boat’. Here we had a challenge. This was one of the first attempts at constructing a piece of music without the heavy use of samples which up until this point, was an idea we hadn’t really entertained. The song was inspired by Alice Coltrane and the lyrics contained are inspired by and reflect our feelings towards this incredible woman. The whole process of this track was built upon in a new temporary Wonderfulsound home (Miles' home actually) an emergency set up whilst waiting for a new studio space to come up. There have been many since then!

Miles personally laboured the mix down in between inspirational visits to the Jerusalem Tavern and you could just hear that ‘this was the one’. It was quite a magical moment and became a firm favourite of our new and ever growing catalogue of songs.

Our second 7” single was complete and within weeks of it being in the shops we began to hear it broadcasted on Sean Rowleys Joy of Music show and a BBC live session followed tout suite... which of course is a whole different story altogether.

So as a gift from Wonderfulsound to you...... we have designed the "Would It Be Impossible" ringtone. "Amaze your friends as it loops seemlessly!"

'Yeah Yeah Yeah' - The Beatles And Bournemouth

2011-09-20T13:18:00.016+01:00

Our friend and long time Superimposers supporter Nick Churchill has his first book released on the 22nd September entitled, 'Yeah Yeah Yeah - The Beatles and Bournemouth'. The book concentrates on the Beatles connection with the seaside town - the numerous gigs performed at the Gaumont Theatre, The 'With The Beatles' album cover (shot in Bournemouth) George Harrisons penning of 'Don't Bother Me' whilst holed up in a hotel in the town and also the bungalow which John Lennon bought his Aunt Mimi and the regular visits he made to her up until relocating to New York. The book also contains many unseen pictures and unheard anecdotes associated with the band and Bournemouth, certainly enough to keep any Beatle nut amused for a few hours!

Best of luck Nick....now wheres our copies!!?

The Superimposers - 10 Tracks

2011-06-14T15:10:00.001+01:00

We were asked to compile a list of our 10 favourite tracks for the Warmer Climes Blogspot Mixtape series and enthuse upon the effect they have upon us personally and musically. Well, we enthused alright and gave an in depth view into a selection of recordings that make The Superimposers tick.

Only 10?!

It was quite a hard task to select just ten tracks from a lifetime of great music but we stuck to the brief and this is the result.... WARMER CLIMES BLOG

Colorama "Etiquette" (Superimposed)

2011-06-01T21:03:00.020+01:00

The first time we heard of Colorama it was through a song called "Sound". A catchy pop song, sampling some obscure but vaguely remeniscent, jazz bassline pitched to an absolute ridiculous speed. Then, one day, whilst listening to a 7" in Rough Trade of the first ever recording made on a wax cylinder, there was a CD in the sleeve. It was Colorama's new LP "Magic Lantern Show". That's a good idea, we thought, just hide your LP in other peoples sleeves! Apparently it was a mistake on the shop's part and we actually stole The Magic Lantern Show that day. Then Colorama approached us to perform/support them on their launch of their current LP Box. We obliged. After a brief chat we agreed to do a remix.
3 Months later we delivered!

It took a little longer than expected, but we finally cracked this remix for Colorama.
Here is our version of Etiquette by Colorama (Superimposed)

OVER THE BRIDGE

2011-05-24T12:48:00.038+01:00

In The Autumn of 2003 we finished two songs that we'd been tinkering with for some time in our Wonderfulsound studios and after various versions we felt like we'd finally nailed it! "Over The Bridge" consisted of a lo-lopping sample taken off an old "Stereo to Stereo" album, uncannily reminiscent of a forgotten David Axlerod track. As we ploughed through vocal styles ranging from the Beta Band to Bob Dylan(!!) one day it all seemed to fall together and the Superimposers were born.
Although not quite.
At this time we were also collaborating with some other producers for a CD release called "The Wonderfulsound Libraries Vol 1. Still unsure about these 2 tracks, an eleventh hour decision to stick "Over The Bridge"& "Trust Me" in the mix ended up being an invaluable move. Of the 50 or so copies handed to friends, people in record shops, producers, DJs, they were the only 2 tracks that we had any feedback on. Karl from Soul Jazz records (now SOTU) loved "Trust Me" and suggested we put it on a 7" and Diesel from X-Press 2 said the same about "Over The Bridge". The rest is history.

If you are lucky enough to own this obscurity, check the back sleeve, this was the first and last release to include Miles' home telephone number on the record sleeve. Oh, and his Hotmail address. (Now both defunct)

Stand out memories of this period include: Miles' executive decision to leave DAN's soulful sigh of disgust in when he hits a bum note on his lead guitar moment.... And of course, Dan struggling to get dial up internet set up on his G3 Mac in time to hear 'Over The Bridge' being played on Greater London Radio for the first time. There's a TDK tape recording of this epic moment somewhere in a shoe box. Perhaps we'll dig it out at some point and post it up here.
