North and the Sea – 10 Years Later
It’s been a busy time since my last post: the game is finished and off to be manufactured, should be in stores in September; we took a 7500 km family trip through the north-west of the USA; during that trip I attended the Christian Game Developers Conference and had a very inspirational and enjoyable time. All those things deserve a lot more coverage sometime, and I hope to get to it soon.
3 years ago I blogged about how it had been 7 years since my old band, North and the Sea had finished recording our album. I get into more details in that post, but it’s easy to remember because it coincides with the birth of my first child, Rianna. She’s 10 years old now. She’s a wonderful kid, and it’s hard to believe that we’ve had her so long.
Last summer all three of us NATS were in town at the same time, so we got together for an evening of recording with my gear at Richard’s place. I’ve been meaning to do something with the tracks all this year, but whenever I get over to Rich’s I end up watching movies and/or chatting with friends, and there never seems to be the time.
But anyway, I’ve got a rough mix of the new song we recorded, and in honour of this anniversary, why don’t you have a listen? I hope you like it. I believe I’ve got the title right. Doug wrote it (I think a solo version of it is going to be on his Reliable Toasters album sometime). Enjoy!
Listen to: Set This Captive Free

Didn’t we record a Neil Young cover too? I think this is from 2005 (I recall reading Half-Blood Prince at the same time I was trying to write a new song for us to record during that session.)
