NEW ALBUM
Its been a little slow on the news front early this year because Richard is in the studio recording his new album, the follow up to Lowedges. We'll provide more details at a later date, and in the meantime why not join the forum to hear from the man himself.

23rd December
THAT WAS 2003, WHAT ABOUT 2004?
Lowedges just got voted best album of the year on Virgin Radio's Captain America show (he got over a 3rd of the vote - really amazing result). Also Mojo voted it 15th best album of the year and rough trade voted it 25th best album. so thanks to all his fans for their support this year and thanks to everyone who voted.

Check back here early next year when we may have more to tell you on Richard working with I Monster, a possible Channel 4 documentary, and on his remixing for Relaxed Muscle. And finally we hope to have more on Richard recording something new in January.

That's all from the website for this year, but those of you who have not done so may want to sign up to the Forum where you can ask Richard questions (and he actually replies), and keep up to date with everything.

Richard also would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a boss New Year.
