THE CLANG GROUP (UK) Practice Label: Domino Release Date: 30.09.2016 Web: www.theclanggroup.com EPK: irascible.ch/de/releases/the-clang-group/practice It’s just a rumour that was spread around town. It said there was a star that few had ever heard of. But that few included David Bowie, Morrissey and Elvis Costello and he’d produced them all. Also, this man had a band called Deaf School and they’d inspired many other bands from Dexys Midnight Runners to Frankie Goes To Hollywood. It’s time Clive «Clanger» Langer was known by more than a few. He is a quietly-spoken, bespectacled pop wizard from North London who (with his studio partner Alan Winstanley) made Come On Eileen and what seems like a hundred hits for Madness. A little while ago our secret star had a significant birthday. «At the age of 60,» he says, «I decided to start another band. I got The Clang Group together and I achieved what I wanted. Which was to play on my 60th birthday.» Like a lot of British pop, The Clang Group are a part of that art school dance that goes on forever. And yet, «Practice» is like nothing we have heard before. Places and things, people and feelings, spill out in a kaleidoscopic tumble. There’s the wine and sunlight of a Sicilian wedding (Concerti- na); the marmalade skies of an Isle of Wight seaside town (Picture Postcard Paradise); the hurt of a lost boy with a European rail card in his pocket and a girl who didn’t turn up (Amsterdam). There is even Brixton’s new frontline, where Caribbean market stalls meet artisan coffee bars (Acre Lane). Recorded at Iguana Studio in Brixton, «Practice» is jagged, melodious, ingenious, impulsive and exhilarating. Usually all at the same time. Driven by a frantic and restless energy, it’s exactly the kind of record you’d hope someone would make if they woke up aged 60 thinking, «Fuck it, I’m going to start a rock’n’roll band.» Yes, that good!

The Record Producer As Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry
The Record Producer as Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry A submission presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Glamorgan/Prifysgol Morgannwg for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael John Gilmour Howlett April 2009 ii I certify that the work presented in this dissertation is my own, and has not been presented, or is currently submitted, in candidature for any degree at any other University: _____________________________________________________________ Michael Howlett iii The Record Producer as Nexus: Creative Inspiration, Technology and the Recording Industry Abstract What is a record producer? There is a degree of mystery and uncertainty about just what goes on behind the studio door. Some producers are seen as Svengali- like figures manipulating artists into mass consumer product. Producers are sometimes seen as mere technicians whose job is simply to set up a few microphones and press the record button. Close examination of the recording process will show how far this is from a complete picture. Artists are special—they come with an inspiration, and a talent, but also with a variety of complications, and in many ways a recording studio can seem the least likely place for creative expression and for an affective performance to happen. The task of the record producer is to engage with these artists and their songs and turn these potentials into form through the technology of the recording studio. The purpose of the exercise is to disseminate this fixed form to an imagined audience—generally in the hope that this audience will prove to be real.

Practice It's Just a Rumour That Was Spread Around
The Clang Group – Practice It’s just a rumour that was spread around town. It said there was a star that few had ever heard of. But that few included David Bowie, Morrissey and Elvis Costello and he’d produced them all. Also, this man had a band called Deaf School and they’d inspired many other bands from Dexys Midnight Runners to Frankie Goes To Hollywood. It’s time Clive “Clanger” Langer was known by more than a few. He is a quietly- spoken, bespectacled pop wizard from North London who (with his studio partner Alan Winstanley) made Come On Eileen and what seems like a hundred hits for Madness. He’s a songwriter, too. When Robert Wyatt broke our collective hearts with that great immortal sigh of a song called Shipbuilding, it was Langer’s music he was singing. A little while ago our secret star had a significant birthday. “At the age of 60,” he says, “I decided to start another band. I got The Clang Group together and I achieved what I wanted. Which was to play on my 60th birthday.” Forty years on from their inception at Liverpool art college, Langer’s first band Deaf School still record and tour, but not often enough for his taste. Nor for their keyboardist John Wood and drummer Gregg Braden: “Deaf School is like getting the circus out. And we wanted a band that could just go and play.” So this core trio did get out and play, with guest appearances by friends such as Andy Mackay of Roxy Music, whose sax you can hear on this record.
