Thoughts and Prayers is the first vinyl release from our studio in the Cotswolds, and represents a lot of time and effort into creating a record to stand the test of time, as well as to demonstrate the power of our studio, located in a central market town which is the capital of the Cotswolds.

This is the first of several releases of the music of Paul Turney who has been running Sirensound since beginning a contract with the British Library Sound Archive in 2001.

The studio has evolved from an archiving facility to a more broader recording setup, with an acoustically treated room for acoustic recording of drums, voice, percussion and brass.

We record to Pyramix for a stable environment and have diversified into Voice over work and the recording of AudioBooks

WE ARE A FAMILY OF MUSICIANS AND SINGERS WHO LOVE TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT SPECIAL THAT DOESN’T RUN LIKE THE RIVER OF POP.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE PLAYERS AND SINGERS ON THIS RECORD YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN FOR THINKING THIS WAS A SUPERGROUP PUT TOGETHER TO PLAY ON MUSIC THAT IS NON CONFORMING TO THE SOUND OF THE DAY, AND YET IT IS THE SOUND OF THE DAY, ONLY IT DOESN’T PIGEON HOLE AS YOU’D EXPECT.

THE CRY FOR MUSIC BEING PLAYED BY MUSICIANS AND NOT BY AI APPLIES HERE, AND THIS AIN’T THE KIND OF MUSIC YOU’RE GOING TO FALL IN LOVE TO. HOPEFULLY YOU’RE PAST THAT STAGE AND YOU WANT TO HAVE A REAL LSITEN TO SOMETHING THAT HAS INTERESTING LYRICS AND KILLER VIBES. THIS MIGHT WELL BE FOR YOU.

Paul Turney

THIS IS AN ADULT ALBUM, A REQUEST FOR US TO THINK ABOUT WHERE WE ARE IN THE WORLD TODAY, AND REFLECT ON OUR CONTRIBUTION.

ORIGINALLY PUT TOGETHER TO RECORD SONGS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE LOST IN THE PASSAGE OF TIME, THROUGH ILLNESS OR ACCIDENT, WHERE THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXIST IN A FORM FOR POSTERITY. A TESTIMENT TO THE GENEROSITY AND MAGNIFICENT SKILL OF TIM CANSFIELD, RICHARD BAILEY, PATSY GAMBLE, IAIN BALLAMY, BEVERLEY SKEETE, WINSTON BLISSETT, GUY PRATT, DAVE ITAL AND DAN HOLLEY IN SONGS WRITTEN BY PAUL TURNEY OVER THE COURSE OF A LIFETIME
