{"product_id":"people-industry-special-edition","title":"People \u0026 Industry (Special Edition)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCastles in Space are thrilled to present this deluxe edition of the second Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan album, \"People \u0026amp; Industry\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOriginally released in September 2021, this is a beautiful new edition featuring four bonus tracks on a second disc which have never been released on vinyl before. “It’s been amazing to revisit this album”, says Gordon Chapman-Fox. “It’s one that people didn't get chance to hear, and it was overlooked following the success of the debut album, \"Interim Report March 1979\", but revisiting it has made me fall in love with it all over again. Returning to the album after five years opened up a whole series of delights at some melodic choices, and some really unusual creative decisions I made.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe original album came with two bonus tracks as a Bandcamp exclusive. These are now presented here on vinyl for the first time. They are joined on the bonus EP with reworked versions of contemporaneous tracks, one from the original album, and a track that was composed for a live online festival during one of our many lockdowns. Gordon continues, “I dug these tracks out when I was looking for tracks to perform live, and Petrochemical just leapt out. As I’ve developed these tracks from performing across the UK and Europe, they’ve become more beat driven, so transforming this from a beautiful arpeggio-filled lullaby into something funkier was a lot of fun, and it’s still in my live set. The other track was written for the FoxFest - you can still see the original video of this on my YouTube page. I’d always meant to do something with the tracks from that set, and the first one in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"The theme is very much to celebrate the workers and industry that was absolutely booming around Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn in the late 70s. From coal mining, to chemicals, to cars, the area was an absolute hive of industry. Some of those businesses are still very much in the area, but a lot has changed since then. This album, much like the first, looks back to look forward. It is is nostalgic but with 40 years of hindsight.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
