Love Process

“Me and the music down memory lane, as I drown out my sorrows again and again. How long has it been, time flies so fast, since I shut out the future to live in the past?” When I thought about the lyrics I wrote for the chorus of this song, making a game just seemed like the next logical step, so... Welcome to Guïscazo! It's 1999 and Guy, failed record producer, his personal and professional life in tatters, is enslaved to a magical door in his South London flat. A door that holds back the new millennium… A high performance alcoholic, Guy spends his nights catching flying clocks down Memory Lane to feed to the door to keep it shut so he can keep living in the past. Everything is out to get him from taxis to arcade machines, Guy must jump out of harm's way, fox his attackers and neck all the beers he finds to keep his energy up. Can you help Guy prevent the arrival of the new millennium? Get the card and start playing! * Works on any smart phone, laptop or PC. See game for instructions and special content.

This is the fourth and final single by the first incarnation of Love Process, what might be known in the future as the original lineup, perhaps, who knows… The recording was made in the lounge of a house on Carrer 218, Palma, with Phil Dawson on vocals, Wojtek Sobolewski on bass, James Gambold on drums and Adria Acker on keyboards and in the production control room. Pau Oliver did some wonderful overdubs on his valved electric piano that thankfully found their way onto the record, increasing the mojo tenfold. I was into all things 1980’s synthesis and true analog sound when making the demos for this one and I think you can hear that in the arpeggios at the start and throughout the bridge. I added some fanboy inspired lyrics (openly quoting LOTR, Star Trek and Poltergeist) to try and maintain a coded, retro feel. It’s a song about a misunderstood outsider trying hard to battle his inner demons (or Balrog, in this instance!) to find a better life path that could lead him towards the light. Slightly autobiographical? Perhaps. Navel gazing? Certainly! A mild obsession, from a production point of view, about mid-80’s Genesis, had a lot to do with the overall sound design, song form and general aesthetic. As of December ‘23, Love Process became an electronic duo. Life moves on, things come apart and that is only natural and we’ll keep working hard to bring you new sound worlds in the very near future. So, in closing, a final thank you to all the folk who gave their time and craft to cutting this track and previous releases, and especially to you the listener, without whom we’d just be a tree falling silently in the forest of Neldoreth.
