February 9th 2007 - Remix of
Onision's "Desperate For Sorrow" completed
Chris has finished off and delivered
to US experimental solo artist, Onision, a remix of his haunting track
"Desperate For Sorrow".
Commenting on the remix, Chris stated that this was the most difficult
remix he has done so far although the end result appears to be very good
as Gregory from Onision has given his seal of approval to the mix.
This is COAB's third remix for
other artists, following on from Cassandra Allen in '06 and Dizasteroid
in January '07. It is hoped that the band will be able to release these
remixes at a later stage and will also be adding them here to play on
this site. The new Onision remix may feature in the Download section
soon as a playable track.
The band have one more remix on
the go right now, whilst they have been contacted by bands as far away
as Australia and Los Angeles to complete remixes for them. It is hoped
that they will reciprocate with remixes of new songs by COAB as well. |

quality. "Waterdance"
is his take on a cinematic soundtrack of the classic 1950's film
"On The Waterfront" starring Marlon Brando and features various
cuts from it. COAB have provided two remixes so far, the first the
COAB Contender Remix can be heard on their MySpace site, just
follow the link below. A second version has also been loaded at
Dizasteroid's Broadjam site where you can hear both songs and also as a
bonus, his take on a Christ On A Bike song from the forthcoming LP

entitled "Running For The
Good Life" which may now feature as a possible single too.
