Bri Jnr. stumbles:
To keep the momentum of our record-breaking success going, we scraped together a patchy 4 track E.P to keep us riding high in the charts while behind the scenes, the wheels were falling off the Space Brain train. My descent into alco-hell began during the recording sessions for the E.P and Tico, devastated by the disappearance of his Rubber Dub Ducky soulmate, turned to snorting Persil washing powder to take his mind off his despair. A lesson here- success can ruin even the most well-intentioned of folks. Despite our middling efforts and backstage wobbles, the E.P smashed the record for pre-orders and a radio edit of 'An OAP's Date With Destiny' kept us riding high in the charts with 'Ducky Come Back' being playlisted on multiple adult contemporary radio stations across the United States. Smash Hits magazine gave the E.P a 3 out of 5 rating, sensing that all was not well with Bri and Tico but praising us for "continuing to push the envelope with unique production techniques and undeniable hooks to keep pop kids and lonely housewives happy". Tico Jnr. growls:
This is the last of Space Brain as we know / knew it / them. No more full-on releases, just the most magnificant best-of ever, with a solitary 'new' track.
Most, if not all, work on this EP was down to brilliant me. The use of comma's in many of the song titles was definitely my idea. I am brill. Bri had gotten his head turned by the underground broken biscuit scene and the dangers it holds. He got involved well before it went mainstream, and all the legislation come into place, but he's still sticking with it and living the high-life. This EP is like a final goodbye, before the final goodbye for the best of. |
