Merry Christmas and a synth new year.

Well the album is shaping up nicely, the track listing has changed a bit and undoubtedly will change again in the future. The tracks so far:
Escape you dance
Get a grip
Our own world
Tonight
You told me
English Twilight
You need to love
Planetary Solitude
Alive with you
You are the one
First kiss
Still love

The songs are about 60% finished due to the fact that my voice has been messed up for 2 months with various flu and cold symptoms.
I have however started to think about the CD artwork and video projections I need to do for the live shows, so 2010 looks busy already.

In other news I have submitted my remix of EJ Normans ‘Home’ and I am very pleased with it, I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.

Check back for the release date.

2010 the pop revolution is coming.

Ok Update Time.

First off, I’m doing a remix for synthpop queen EJ Norman.
She is planning a major musical onslaught on the world, with a myriad of releases.
The song I’m remixing is called Home and is a great song in its own right (you can here the original on her myspace) and I hope to compliment it with SFS remix dust.


The Album

I’m about half way through making the Silver Factory Superstars debut album.
So far I have laid down 11 songs:

Escape You dance
Alive With You
English Twilight
Planetary Solitude
Tonight
You Are The One
Close To The Edge
U need 2 luv me
You Told Me
Into The Sky
Falling

This is by no means the final track list, as I am planning to record more and then select which ones are worthy.
All the songs are newly recorded and are pure pop.
I am mulling over whether to have guest vocalists on the album or just keep it SFS only, mmmm…… decisions.

Anyway it’s sounding great and hopefully you’ll like it.


On another note you must check out the new album from Frankmusik, it is pure pop.


Viva the pop revolution.

Shes out of her head

I have decided to treat you to a stripped down version of one of the songs from my solo album, Unrequited.

Purchase the album from iTunes, CD baby and www.mjohnson.biz

Red Phone Box

So the last couple of weeks I have spent a lot of my time recording, playing and producing a song for Amy Notman.
The song called Red Phone Box is written by Amy and our version can be heard on her Myspace. It was a good session that was followed by the compulsory ‘after recording’ pint.
We had a great time and hopefully we will do it again soon.
Check it out and if she is doing a gig near you, please go and see her.

Spring In The Air

I have started work on the poptastic SFS debut album. It’s been ages since I released the EP and did some gigs (new dates to follow soon) so following the popularity of my SAW-esque ‘First Kiss’ I have been writing and recording.

The new album should be finished by the end of the year and if you want immediate album updates you can twitter me. Here.


REMIX
I have put up a page of some of the remixes that I have done for other artists (Ash, Imogen Heap, Erasure etc) feel free to have a listen and don’t be afraid to ask me to do one for you.

Pop Revolution

A few months ago I mentioned that for some inexplicable reason I decided to write and record a song inspired by 80's pop gurus Stock Aitken and Waterman.

Well, finally after various rewrites and mixes I have finished it. It is called First Kiss and I have decided to give it to you for free and not only can you get the radio edit but you can also get the extended mix too.

You can listen to it at the SFS Myspace site or  at ilike if you want to download it as well. If you want higher quality mp3 versions I can send you a link to where you can download it from or I can send you an old fashioned CD. (mark@silverfactorysuperstars.com).

Let me know what you think.

Also you can now twitter me. here
