[Heeplist] Heep's new CD

[Iain Barnes]

I'm still around Bob but as I spend most of my time away from my house I 
have problems posting to the list unless I'm at home using my ISP.

I'm going to see Heep on Friday so I'm really looking forward to that.  It 
will be my first time to hear Davey live, it will be strange not to see 
Trevor especially in his home county of Yorkshire.  I will be thinking of 
Trevor for sure but hopefully greeting Davey and enjoying his performance. 
I was going to purchase the VIP package but money is dwindling fast so I had 
to shelve that idea.

It sounds as if  the new CD will follow in the style of more recent 
releases.  I guess that is a natural progression for Mick and Phil.  Russell 
and Davey come from a hard rock background too so progressive, fantasy, 
mystical etc would be against the grain for this line up.  I'll be delighted 
to get a new album whatever style it ends up.

Anyone out there still like or listen to Uriah Heep???!!!  Haven¹t seen much
here lately except a few posts about American football.  Heep had a gig last
night in the UK, not one report??  No set list on setlist.fm?  I did see a
post last week about heep news on facebook.   So just out of curiosity I
went there for the first time, they have a page, and it seems I friended it
a couple years back, but who has time for facebook?  Any how, there was a
link to an interview with Bernie.  Interestingly, I like rocking, but would
have preferred the prog sound.

³Bernie tells us: ³We are writing now, we are starting the 24th studio album
and we are in with our producer, Mike Paxman.

³We¹ve already clocked eight backing tracks in seven days, which is pretty
good going. We are doing a lot of the writing and arranging in the studio
itself. In the days of old we would have a lot of time off to come up with
stuff. We used to go to the rehearsal with finished songs.

³But Mick and Phil came in with five ideas recently and the ryhthm section
just added to it themselves. We were thinking of doing a prog album like
some of the more mystical songs that we used to do, but so far the eight
tracks are really rocky. It just evolved, and that¹s the way we like to
work. We¹ll have ideas and if it works it works, but sometimes the song on
the table at the end may not be anywhere near what the first idea was.

³When the producer says Œstop we¹ve got it¹ that is the first time you
really listen to what you¹ve recorded and it can blow your mind away. The
good thing is our ideas are still fresh and they are coming thick and fast.
It¹s not going to be an album of cover songs that¹s for sure!²
