Combustible Edison Update

9/4/95

Hello all,

Sorry this update has been so long in coming; we've been busy busy busy! "Four Rooms," the film for which we composed and performed (almost) the entire score, opens on October 6. Trailers are already showing. The soundtrack album comes out on September 19; it contains lots of music from Edison plus two tracks from our friend Esquivel, and the theme to a popular television series as well. The theme from the film, called "Vertigogo," is being released as a single; just this past week we filmed a video out in Los Angeles (note for the hip: we used the soundstage on the A&M lot - the record company begun by Herb Alpert, and located on the estate of Charlie Chaplin).

(CE on the set of the video for "Vertigogo")

And in the middle of all of that, we recorded a new record, as yet untitled, to be released in the first week of March, 1996. As usual, it contains much new material as well as a few of our favorites by other composers. Watch this space for sneak previews of the new sounds (if we can convince the Sub Pop bigwigs...).

"But when is the band going to TOUR?" Well, it looks like late-October/early-November is the next oportunity to see ComEd in your town; again, we'll put the schedule on-line as soon as it firms up.

So, as usual, stay fabulous and stay in touch!

Aaron O. and the rest of the Com Ed gang.
