Every Bullet Hit Artist's Notes

 

This is my debut album.

 

Why a triple album?

 

For one, I had the songs.

 

Secondly, I needed a release that would get attention. In music history, there are thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of exceptional, classic single albums. Classic triple albums are a rarer breed. Think about it. How many classic single albums can you think of? The list is endless. However, how many triple albums can you name?           

                                  

Every Bullet Hit was released online on streaming platforms on 2 October 2025. It will be released as a double cd in a few weeks time, and hopefully at some point on triple vinyl.

 

I'd love it if anyone reading this would consider purchasing it as a physical release, as we all know how much musicians make from streaming! 

 

However, before parting with your hard earned cash, a few advisory notes on the "lo-fi" nature of this release.

 

The album wasn't recorded in a professional studio, so for all you audiophiles out there who only seek sonically "perfect" releases, please read the following about the history of the album.

 

The album was recorded over a 10 year period commencing in 2014. It was recorded on vintage 8 and 16 track digital recorders, produced and mixed by yours truly.      

   

Finally mastering was completed in 2025 by professional adults at Novasound Studios. That process would involve an initial master being sent to me, which I would then spend several hours agonising over each track, then going back to Novasound who would provide a final master based on my at times very pernickety requirements!

 

As these recordings were intended as demos rather than final commercial recordings, there are occasional shortcomings which should be noted.

 

There is occasional hiss. This is most noticeable on I Fly No Flags, the   intro to The Wisdom Of Leaves, and the synthesizer shehnai on the final verse of They Said I Wouldn't Kill. Generally for the most part any hiss isn't intrusive, but particular note should be paid to these three songs.

 

There is also occasional mic handling noise on Paraiso Perdido and They Said I Wouldn't Kill.

 

In three of the trumpet phrases in They Said I Wouldn't Kill, there is a light "click" audible. I don't know what causes this, but possibly the     impact of the valve being pressed down? The trumpet was new, so perhaps it just hadn't been fully played in.   

                                                       

Finally, there is a little unwanted frequency noise audible in the intro of Geneva Never Came.

 

These are the kind of problems often inherent in lo-fi recordings, and hopefully won't spoil your listening enjoyment or detract from the strength of the songs.

 

However, if you haven't experienced the wonder of lo-fi recordings before, and are looking for the perfection you'd expect in a multi million pound/dollar production, I strongly suggest listening online first  if you are considering buying a physical product.       

 

I don't want anyone to be disappointed, and also as a ground level one man operation, I can't unfortunately offer refunds based on the production/engineering not being of George Martin quality!    

 

Details of cost, shipping etc to follow soon!
