Fifth Column

This is unpoc's first proper album and was released by Domino on cd and vinyl from October 20th, 2003.

It's got 14 songs on it and it's about 3/4 of an hour long which is much better than 72.5 minutes, we think.

The cover is from Norway's Lysebotn area and the back cover is from Tiree, a Scottish island. The vinyl sleeve was "reverse printed", as with the Amsterdam single.

Full Tracklisting and some Lyrics & chords

Amsterdam / Here on my Own

Double "A" side vinyl single, released by Domino from September 21st, 2003.

The songs here are taken from the album, Fifth Column.

The cover is a picture we took in Glen Etive in Scotland. The back cover features a picture taken from the mouth of a one kilometre long road tunnel in Norway's Lysefjord.

The cover of the single was "reverse printed" which means the shiny side of the cardboard is on the inside. Does that make it collectable, somehow? Who knows?

We do and the answer is 'yes'.

Live At King Tut's (cdr)

27 minute long Live recording of the first proper unpoc gig, at Glasgow's King Tut's venue on December 21st 2003.

Released by Domino from 28th May, 2004, this has very limited availability, making it a bit of a collectors' thing. It is only available at unpoc gigs and through the Domino website (see links page). Even then, it is strictly limited to 200 numbered copies and 50 unnumbered ones (before we thought of the numbering thing). The setlist on that first gig was seven songs from Fifth Column plus two others, played with varying amounts of nerves and errors! The recording comes from the sound desk and so has that classic "recorded from the sound desk" sound, meaning it would sound even better with some reverb.

Fence Reunited

This is a cd of collaborations between Fence Collective people. Tom wrote a tune for it called "We're on a Roll".

After he'd recorded his vocals and guitar, Tom gave the tapes to Fence's King Creosote. KC did some orchestration and passed the tune on to another Fencer, Gummi Bako, who finished it off with his backing vocals.

You can find out more about this cd at the fence website.
