Drawing from a pool of 15 new songs Luke Haines has recorded 50 individual live performances on to 50 CDs. Song titles include: ‘The Art Supergroup,’ ‘Jesus Is Right On,’ ‘The Angel Of The North,’ ‘Enoch Powell,’ ‘Me And The Birds,’ ‘The Art Superheroes’ and ‘Alan Vega Says’. Instruments played (sometimes simultaneously) include acoustic guitar, Japanese toy drum machine, bird whistle, TDK C90 cassette tape, and squeaky nun dog toy.
Each unique volume of ‘Outsider Music’ ('OM') consists of an entirely live half hour (approx) performance by Luke Haines - there are no second takes. Sometimes there are mistakes, microphones get knocked, singing sometimes goes bad , and on one volume Luke Haines is forced to answer the door to the postman. Once the red light for record goes on - it stays on. To own one of the fifty volumes of ‘Outsider Music’ is like having Luke Haines in your living room, can you imagine?
Each CD Volume of 'OM' costs £75 and comes with a hand-numbered canvas cover and is signed by Luke Haines. The fifty CDs of ‘Outsider Music’ will be available to buy for eight weeks only. In the extremely unlikely event that any copies remain unsold after that period they will be handed in to Scotland Yard.
Due to the individual nature of the ‘product’ there are no review copies of ‘Outsider Music’, however if you would like to review then you are welcome to purchase a volume.
