Lost In Transit: 3rd Pressing
Since the first two pressings sold out earlier this summer, we've have been inundated with requests to re-press Lost in Transit. We are currently looking into this and expect to possibly repress later in the autumn..but that depends on you. Any pressing will be STRICTLY limited edition, and will be on a first-requested, first serve basis. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ANY MONEY AT THIS TIME - just an email stating that you would like to buy one, as well as the country you are from. So, if you wish to pre-order a copy please drop Webmaster Mike an email and we'll add you to the list. We'll do our best to make sure you get a copy!

New Interview Feature and Exclusive Radio Session
Steve writes:
Sorry it’s all been a bit quiet recently, it is all the fault of the ash cloud. That's our excuse and we are sticking to it. We had a wonderful time in the USA in April, where we once again received a great welcome and strong support...thank you all. There'll be no tour diary this time, but we’re planning on publishing a photo journal very soon.
Meantime Tom Gagliardi,(living legend and host of the Gagliarchives radio show in Philly) has posted two RMI related podcasts for your entertainment. The first from Steve's promotional visit in February features an in depth interview about the current Cuneiform album 'Time & Motion'. The second features an exclusive live studio session by the band performed for Gagliarchives at the Cherubini Arts Center, Burlington, NJ in April.

Happy New Year from RMI
Mike (our webmaster) has a weekly internet radio show entitled ProgScape Radio, and on the show coming up (January 12th and repeated on the 13th), he is going to world premiere our enw disc, entitled Time & Motion. The broadcast will be on Tuesday, January 12th at 8pm Eastern (repeating on the 13th at 3pm eastern). Here's what he wrote about the release:
Our featured artist this week has been performing together for about 30 years; first under the moniker DAS and since 1995, Radio Massacre International. The band (consisting of Steve Dinsdale, Gary Houghton and Duncan Goddard) have been quite prolific, releasing over 30 albums since 1995. Their brand new release is due to be released in just a couple of weeks, but we've got it for you first! Featuring guest musician Martin Archer on all things woodwinds, the band takes their foundation of sequencer based material and stretches out the space within the beats (and for some the tracks on the album, there are no beats...so think about all that space!) The band is more interested in letting a scenic vibe come across as you listen to their last est release, and it's one that you might not have expected after hearing an album like Rain Falls In Gray but it's more in the vibe of Philadelphia Air Shot in the idea of taking a starting point of an idea and letting it take control. Sure, there are some nice sequencer tracks to keep the Berlin Schoolers happy, but this is also a disc that is meant to heard with space in mind. We're thrilled to let you hear it before anyone else. Please join us on Tuesday night (January 12th) at 8pm as we debut to the world the brand new release by Radio Massacre International, entitled Time & Motion.December 29, 2009
Happy New Year from RMI

Happy New Year!

RMI sits in with Damo Suzuki
Steve says:
"3 years back, late the into the night before a gig the three of us were planning to attend the next day in Sheffield as a guest of Damo Suzuki, who was playing with Here and Now. I received an email. "Here And Now cancelled, you are coming to gig anyway, RMI play tomorrow? Love Damo". We had no gear, couldn't get access to it, and Gary couldn't leave work in Manchester full stop. So I drove from Harrogate, Duncan caught the train from London with his Bass, we roped in my totally unsuspecting brother (a country artiste living on the road into Sheffield luckily) and hot-footed it to the venue where we cobbled together enough gear to play. We were introduced for the first time to Martin Archer who we were happy to invite onstage to play with us. Here are a few clips. Stick around for the very last section of clip package 2...we'd really found our feet by then."

Radio Massacre International to release Centaur catalogue on MusicZeit download platform
Beginning with the 1995 debut album Frozen North, the band will make available all remaining items in their catalogue which were previously released on Centaur and are now largely out of print. All artwork will be newly restored. This move is meant as an alternative for those who have caught up with the band in recent years to paying high prices for second hand copies, although this choice still exists of course.
It has been particularly bothersome to the band that core albums like 'Borrowed Atoms' have been unavailable for so long and we aim to rectify this by making these available in mp3 and FLAC in order that people may have immediate access to this hard to find material.
In addition, and indeed already available, is the album March 2000 which previously only appeared on a 6CD compilation set Concerts At Jodrell Bank. More info will be on the site shortly.
For those who really can’t get enough, there will also be forthcoming download issues of the "pre-RMI" albums recorded under the name DAS.
