Hello again, if you've been following us on Soundcloud, you'll have noticed some of the Algo-X tracks
appearing with increasing frequency...not too far away now!

If you have the required skills, and are interested in remixing an Algorhythm track for inclusion with the release please contact us over here...and we can chat.

We recorded this 4-track live-to-air on Sydney station JJJ, sometime around the Algorhythm release date.I've had to edit and clean it up a little bit...oh and yes, the human beings are making mistakes.

Tracklist as follows :

1. Spirit
2. Universal Hymn
3. What Are You So Happy About?
4. Olive

Please follow us on Twitter and Soundcloud, you'll get a few surprises in the coming months...

I've been juggling quite a few chairs here, so sincere apologies for the complete absence from the site.
However, if you've been following us on Twitter and Soundcloud, you would have witnessed 'proof of life' ;-)
For the immediate future, that's probably the best way of finding out about progress..

Both Algorhythm-X and Vertigo-X are definitely still in production..frankly it's turned out to be more work than first anticipated.
Again, best to keep an ear to Soundcloud and an eye on the tweets.

Also, a retrospective of electronic music from Brisbane, BNE, is due to be released this year by the Transcomm label. We've contributed three previously unreleased tracks which are as follows...

Brainshot (from the digital masters of the PCM cassette)

Vertigo (Unreleased Sony Studios Demo)

Insect (Unreleased Robert Racic Mix)

You can read more about the project here...

In fact, we did a number of tracks, and had an EP or album in mind..Volition put us in the studio with engineer Adrian Bolland - I'll be sharing those other tracks soon. We did one live-to-air on radio JJJ of the two tracks on Environments - more in the shape that we wrote them - and even supported Boxcar once.

It's fair to say this was electronica inspired by Orbital - amongst many other artists.
I haven't seen Cameron in many years, he was always brimming with sometimes ridiculous / sometimes brilliant ideas - i hope he's well and happy..we had a lot of fun together.

Blink and a week goes by around here!

I'm planning to release special versions of our two lp's from the 90's. Hopefully for sale in the shop by May depending on how much editing I'm going to have to do. They'll each feature unreleased tracks, dub mixes, demos and remixes we did at the time of the sessions.

It's a weird feeling having so much of your past suddenly at your fingertips, released from digital tape bondage...

Here's Eat Lead, from Vertigo X, taken from the very first session we did for Vertigo.

Hello. We're baaaaaack!

We have a new website, but not without some blood, sweat and fist waving at the screen!

OK, lots of fist waving at the screen.

Everything has had a refit. Our entire discography can be browsed and listened to in the music section. More importantly, the blog is front and center, mainly because it's time to move seriously forward. In January I finally completed transferring all our demos and masters from old formats to an easily accessible and organized system. This is big. That means, lots of old unreleased stuff to share, but also a new platform to share my ideas and new music - which is gathering pace.

Some of the sections will be updated over the coming weeks (mainly videos). If you have anything you would like to see included, or discover any problems with the site, please drop me a mail.

This magazine I found in my archives dates back to 1984, when a baby faced Numan still had real hair and Kraftwerk carted the veritable kitchen sink onstage to perform. This introduction to electronic music was one issue of a longer 'History of Rock' series and actually makes a pretty decent primer of early electronic music for the uninitiated and a bit of a curiosity for fans of the era. It features Herbie Hancock, YMO, Vangelis, The Human League, Kraftwerk, Numan, Devo, Duran Duran and OMD and includes a special section on Moog synthesizers..

Superhighway To Hell by box-car Hello...oh yes, it's a long, long time between drinks here! But there have been wheels still turning...albeit slowly in the boxcar studio. People who have purchased from the store or signed up for membership have probably wondered : 'Hey where are the free goodes you promised!?'

This is the first of many tracks from the vault which will be available, starting tomorrow to you dear faithful friends...(when the emails go out)

A rarity from the vault; originally recorded by Boxcar for an album of AC/DC reinterpretations (1995/1996) For some reason (possibly relating to rights) the album was never released despite most of the bands having already mixed their contributions...
This is the alternate club mix...which turned out to be our favorite. We're making it available with all the other versions (it's a 4 track EP), free on boxcar.com.au to anyone who signs up for membership or buys anything from the store (ie everyone!)
There will be a special post here soon regarding a side project I did known as Bulb.

I'll post them all eventually, in no particular order. If you've ever wondered what the Eurythmics jamming with Chris & Cosey sounds like - wonder no more.

Side A

Well this is kinda old news, but not if you haven't already heard it right?

I agreed to remix Clan Analogue act, Valley Forge. I really like the material on their album. No idea why it's not out still. But IMHO it certainly deserves a decent release.

Boxcar were never particularly 'favored' with the 'bung it in distortion and a filter Richard James bootlicking set' that the Clan once used to represent. Although my pedigree is every bit as Cabaret Voltaire 'old fart' as theirs, clearly anything too 'pop' is a no no (surely even that's old now?)

Anyhow, I actually liked their music and it must have struck a chord with Pete from Single Gun Theory, as he's got a remix of another track on the EP. From what I heard, the boxcar remix got some play on FBI. Either way, I was happy with it...and that's all that matters these days.A bit about how it was made; The other versions (which can be heard on iTunes) have some live bass guitar, which i really enjoyed doing..  Sonic Charge's Microtonic is in use, as is Lennar Digital's Sylenth1 and some heapin' helpings of Ohmforce's terrific echo Ohmboyz.

The EP can be purchased on iTunes here
