PINK CREAM 69 Singer Offers Solo Album Update

May 5, 2006

PINK CREAM 69/ex-ADAGIO frontman David Readman has posted the following message on his official web site:

"On the 1st of May we went it the studio to record the final five drum tracks [for Readman's solo album]. Alongside Dirk Bruinenberg [ex-ADAGIO], I have enlisted a great friend of mine, Chris Schmidt. After hearing a project he did with Dennis Ward, I knew he was the man for the job. On that day I also managed to get some vocals done. Things are moving pretty fast now, and believe me I will be a happy man when it's done, and mixed."

In a recent interview with MelodicRock.com, Readman said about his upcoming solo album, "I like to think that it is going to be a good record. I've must have worked on that record now for three years. There are songs on that from 1990. So there are also songs on the record that were written before I joined PINK CREAM 69. So it is impossible that they could be PINK CREAM 69 songs. There are probably one or two PINK CREAM 69 songs on that record that didn't quite make it. The rest of it are really from scratch.

"On this record I wrote about 95% myself. I got involved with a guy called Paul Logue from CRY HAVOC, a Scottish band, a really great writer. He is a machine, he is writing millions of songs and he did send a few things over for me to check out. And a couple of these songs were asking for my vocals. I changed a few things, I kept a few things, and I thought that they fitted very well to the record. And I am also, in a way, not necessarily limited, I do play guitar myself, but I am limited a little bit in my guitar playing. So it is almost impossible for me to create some stuff because of my lack of guitar playing. Whereas Paul, who is actually a bass player, but he's got other people involved, has other possibilities.

"There are two songs would have been in a way impossible for me to create due to their style of guitar playing. It is good that I finally found time to check out these songs and that I decided to put my own thing over it and I did send it over the net to him and he thought it is great. This is definitely a positive thing."

Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Evil Combination", "New Messiah" and "Over the Ocean".
