Podcast / April 27 2008
Big Arena Records are planning a launch party in ten weeks time to celebrate the label’s first official release, Electric Baby Grand, the first Enormous album. The album has been remastered and repackaged and we all think it’s a punky little gem.
They have asked me to do a short podcast each week leading up to [...]
Rough Galaxy Mixes / January 12 2008
I have just uploaded a few rough mixes of some of the new songs then Nelson and I have been working on. Go to the Nelson Galaxy myspace site and have a listen.
I hope you like what you hear – you’ll be the first in the world to witness the thrilling power and passion that [...]
Electric Galaxy Continuum / November 26 2007
I’m so excited. Nelson is due to arrive from London on Friday to continue work on his full electric album for Big Arena Records.
I am looking forward to recording his vocals again. I have been sweating away over a hot mixing desk in the studio hard at work on the new Enormous songs for the [...]
Mass Redundancies / October 3 2007
This is liberating. More things have gone. I have been taking bags and bags of CDs, books and clothes down to the Salvation Army shop all morning. (I will probably go in and buy them all back within a few weeks but I have given myself a stiff talking to, and I also made a [...]
Lipgloss Weekend / August 24 2007
All the decks have been cleared in the studio ready for Nelson’s arrival later today. He will be here until Tuesday. We are due to begin work on his first full-length album. I shall be producing it, whilst drummer Graham Boffey, trumpeter Ash Morgan and sax-god Paul Varga, my Enormous cohorts, will also be lending [...]

The featured tracks, taken from all three ENORMOUS albums for sale on Big Arena Records are:
1/Being Very Fair (taken from the album Electric Baby Grand);

Dreamboat / April 6 2007
Last night I dreamed I was marooned at sea in a small boat. With me were Nelson Galaxy - Big Arena Records’ glamorous and angst-ridden transvestite songwriter, my dog Audrey and Brad Pitt.
We were in the Iranian Ocean and I remember feeling very queasy; it was like being drunk, when the ground becomes variable. Audrey [...]
Network With Us / April 2 2007
My dear friend Nelson Galaxy came round for tea and biscuits yesterday evening. We spent most of the time setting up elements of our musical network of friends in cyberspace. Oh what fun we had: listening to Burt Bacharach, drinking ice-cold rose wine, eating pretzels, laughing and singing and making lovely new acquaintances from all [...]
Bye Bye DRM / February 7 2007
All Big Arena Records’ releases are available without any form of copy protection software.
We believe that the abolition of such software – known as Digital Rights Management (DRM) – is good for both consumers, artists and music suppliers.
Major record companies are afraid of ‘leakage’ where one person illegally copies a track for somebody else. This problem [...]
