Jammer Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 HUBL http://www.hubl.co.uk/Highland Ultimate Bands List proudly presents the HUBL album, its first CD release featuring 20 tracks from the cream of Moray and the Highland and Islands unsigned talent. This wholly independent CD release is the culmination of a number of fund raising gigs by the artists and members of the HUBL website over the last year and a half. From Keith to Fort William, Dingwall and Inverness the HUBL online community pulled together to stage gigs, giving their time and services for free to provide the latest expansion to HUBL.Since its initial inception in 2003, HUBL has grown with the ideas and support of its user base. This CD started with a suggestion from a member on the HUBL site forum, it was then agreed to produce a professionally produced and packaged CD. Bands were asked to submit demos and the best tracks were selected and the fundraising began.With well known bands and solo artists like Carson, Blue Gum Ears, Robbie Dunsmore, Dionyssus and Small Enclosed Area and the new blood on the block of the likes of The Method, Spindrift and The Gen, this is a broad and varied mix of contemporary styles and experience. The HUBL CD is a fine compilation, which demonstrates the potential of this area both in musical talent and community spirit.Track Listing:1. Sign Red - Goodness Knows2. Blue Gum Ears - Paracetamol3. Fickle Public - Another Exit Ruined by Stairfalling4. Carsn - Review to the Chronicle5. The Method - Summersun6. Dionyssus - Somethings happening to me (Part 2)7. Small Enclosed Area - Taste of India8. Kobi - Could I Move In With you?9. Noise Pollution - You or Them10. Spindrift - Hollywood Hold On11. Chris Henderson - Kiss & Tell12. Echo20 - Room 413. Mind Gone Blind - Fear14. Fluid B.C - Time Again15. Findo Gask - Berlin by Day16. Mute - Kurts Song17. Outsane - Past Tense18. Turning 13 - String She Pulled19. The Gen - Punching the Lamppost20. Robbie Dunsmore - AwakenTo promote the release of the CD there are plans for showcase gigs. Details will be announced soon.HUBL is a creation of Chris Thornton from The Method. He saw the need for a more cohesive music scene in Moray and the Highlands and decided to make the HUBL website <http://www.hubl.co.uk/main.html>. The site has over 250 members and features over 150 band profiles at present with gig listings, message boards, MP3 downloads, reviews and much more.HUBL is a non-profit organisation. All proceeds from the CD will be reinvested to the HUBL community with the hope of further CD releases and events.The CD is available on line at www.HUBL.co.uk <http://www.HUBL.co.uk> and at selected retail outlets including:One Up, Belmont Street, Aberdeen Tel: 01224 642 662Sound and Vision, South Street, Elgin Tel: 01343 543 778Urbanology, Batchen Street, Elgin Tel: 01343 552 191HMV, Eastgate Shopping Centre, Inverness Tel: 01463 250961Soundtracks, 17 Francis Street, Stornoway Tel: 01851 706034Website: www.HUBL.co.uk <http://www.HUBL.co.uk> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyboy Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I can't believe this thread is not mobbed with comments, the CD is really good value. Now I have actually sat down and listened to it and read the insert from cover to cover, christ we have some talent in this area. Anyone willing to put on a CD launch!! (Moshulu, Tunnels et all) featuring bands off the CD. There has to be some mileage in this, any ideas, anyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammer Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Good suggestion, I'll see what I can do. Apart from that, yeah the excitement from the rest of the forum to the CD is mindblowing. It is a really good CD on every level, so cheers for support Freddy and spread the word.
