New Dawn included on the Phantom Circuit #105

Hello! Just dropping by to mention that New Dawn by 4th Alternative has been included in the excellent Phantom Circuit radio show. It really is a privilege to be included, without any prompting from me, in such a long running and established series.

You can hear the whole show and most of the previous 104 shows at phantomcircuit.com.
It's well worth a listen if you are broad-minded and open to the more esoteric corners of modern music.
Wonderful stuff!

Headphonaught's Nanolog: Loving... Dunes by 4th Alternative

Headphonaught's Nanolog: Loving... Dunes by 4th Alternative:

Check out the review of my album over at Headphonaught's Nanolog. Thomas is responsible for the Dunes artwork and for the band camp banner. He has a superb eye and his photography is a joy to behold. I had no hesitation in approaching him to provide the artwork for this project and he delivered! Not bad considering the brief as there are not too many deserts in Scotland! I couldn't be happier with the results.

Elasticated Rock: 4th Alternative

"Elasticated Rock: 4th Alternative: 4th Alternative are/is a classically-trained pianist named Rob 'Bombardier' Davies who makes shimmering experiments in sound that could easily have wafted in from a distant galaxy. His four-track 41 minute opus 'New Dawn' conjures up strange imaginary vistas."


Thank you Unsheep :-)


Wow, no sooner had I linked his blog than it was gone. Well you'll have to take my word for it that this is what he/she said. :-)

Dunes has arrived! Available for digital download from:

"Dunes" Release Date: 10th November 2011

Dunes: The release date approaches

Artwork is now sorted thanks to the sterling efforts of Thomas Mathie (aka. Headphonaught (http://nanolog.blogspot.com/)) who came up with a magnificent design.

I'm hoping the release date will be 10th November 2011, and there may be some bonus tracks along with it if I can sort it out (it's looking promising, that). If anything happens before then, I'll be posting it here!

Speak soon.

PS When the times comes it will be here...

A complete load of Dunes!

The final track is finished!!

Dunes will become available as soon as I can sort out the artwork and distribution - probably a few weeks, hopefully. I'll live with the tracks for a while and possibly tinker with the running order until I'm happy with it. Exciting times though, eh?
