UK promo CD-EP

Chris Braide: Work in Progress

1. Funny Five Minutes 3.54 [= 1992 Single Version]
2. Jesus on the Bus [demo version]
3. The Choice Is Yours [demo version]
4. Helpless [unique demo track only available here]
5. I'm Not [demo version] (Polydor CBCD 1)

"Funny Five Minutes, an idea that was started in Preston one summer night and was finished in Warrington in 1988. It was demoed by myself and a friend and the tapes sold at school for £ 2 each. What you'll find on the CD is the new improved version with a little production help from Thomas Dolby. Jesus on the Bus is written about a tramp from Warrington but is not about Jesus, so no need to burn the record folks. The Choice Is Yours was written in the middle of winter 1991 and was recorded as a demo in my bedroom. Helpless - very fond memories of this one. Me and Glenn Tilbrook sat in my bedroom listening to XTC, Nat King Cole and Crowded House whacking down some ideas that would eventually end up in this song recorded in April 1992, this is another demo. I'm Not was written on a train facing a business man with a pocket T.V. and a vodaphone - very annoying when trying to get some sleep."

Quote from http://www.mywarrington.me.uk/entertaining_people.htm#Chris%20Braide: "At the age of 16 [1989] Braide secured his first publishing contract with Zomba Music Publishing. In an interview with HitQuarters he cited this as his career breakthrough because, in his words, it "opened up the world to me". Leaving his hometown of Warrington he moved down to London, where he signed to Polydor Records as a recording artist. His first residence in the capital was at the home of songwriter Cathy Dennis who, at the time, was also signed to Polydor as an artist."

Q: Were all of the versions on the 1992 promo CD-EP unfinished versions, or were some the final, released version? A: "Funny Five Minutes is final version. All the other tracks are my demo versions". Q: What happened to the track 'Helpless', and why was it never released even as a non-album track on a single? A: "It never got recorded [properly]. It was really just a rough demo idea."

Quote from https://chrisbraidemusic.angelfire.com/chrisbraidetimeline.html: "Chris had been in London 3 years now moving from his hometown of Warrington, England at the age of 16 with his parents, Ann and Kenneth's consent. He landed a manager, Andy Graham, and signs with Polydor Records to record his first album with help from Simply Red's Mick Hucknall. Unfortunately, the album was shelved by Polydor never to be released.

Quote from http://www.mywarrington.me.uk/entertaining_people.htm#Chris%20Braide: "In 1993, Chris recorded his debut album "Chapter One" for Polydor Records. The album was produced by Thomas Dolby and Mick Hucknall and recorded at the residential studio Condulmer in Italy."

Q: Was there a proposed track order for the unreleased 1993 Polydor CD album? A: "I don't think there was." Q: Was 'Funny Five Minutes' the only track that Thomas Dolby was involved in? A: "Yes." Q: Are the 2013 versions true to the originals found in the tape box, or were they appreciably altered? A: "Very true to the originals." Q: Mick Hucknall mixes of 'Funny Five Minutes' and 'So Divine' were retrospectively released. Are there any others which remain unreleased? A: "We recorded a version of 'Jealous' with Mick but I have no copy of it." (Info sent via email by Chris Braide 21 April 2023.)

"I've always been quite a single minded person and in the early days I was always writing songs on my own and wanted to record them solo so it just never interested me to be in a band as such. Although I loved working with other musicians on my records and still do." (Info sent via email by Chris Braide 21 April 2023.)

Q: Why a 7-year gap in between albums (1997 / 2004)? A: "No idea. [Malmo was] just a fun project with a mate [Dean Johnson] at the time." Q: It's spelled Malmo on the release, is it supposed to be the without the dots over the last 'o', or is it supposed to be the correct Swedish spelling of the third biggest city of Sweden (because the adapted English spelling would be 'Malmoe'!)? A: "No idea really" (Info sent via email by Chris Braide 21 April 2023.)

Q: Presumably issued to promote Stone Cold Grace, but only 3 of these 11 tracks appeared on that album? A: "I don't remember. We were just being creative." Q: Why Elstree? Was it a personal favourite of yours, or a subconscious premonition that you would become an honorary Buggle by playing with them in their only live concert? A: "Always loved it since i was a kid."

Q: Albeit with two substituted tracks, was there any special reason why you re-released this 3-4 years down the line in your own name? A: "Don't know. I think a fan persuaded me to put it out again because Malmo was long dead. I don't like the album that much. I find it slightly depressing." (Info sent via email by Chris Braide 21 April 2023.)

Q: This album was quite the departure from your trademark 'piano ballad' style, and in retrospect can now be viewed as a transition towards the new 'Hello Leo' sound. You kept technological advancement at arm's length for 18 years - why, and what prompted you to start embracing it with this album, where at least three tracks wouldn't have sounded out of place on 'Human Feel'. A: "I just felt like using synths." (Info sent via email by Chris Braide 21 April 2023.)

Q: The Producers were originally signed to Stiff Records and 'Barking Up The Right Tree / Freeway' was issued as a single in 2007, so why was there a five year gap before subsequent releases? A: "We were all busy doing different things." Q: Due to other commitments, you officially left the band in 2009, and yet continued to work with them. Were there any songs on the album that you weren't involved in at all, or did you have a hand in all the released versions to some degree? A: "Yes, I wrote and played on everything."

Q: We deemed this to be a full-on collaboration album as you played all the instruments as well as co-writing, producing, recording and mixing. Apart from this and subsequent albums with Marc, are there any other entire albums from the production side of your career which fall into this category? A: "I don't think so no." Q: When specifically writing for others, do you adopt a different approach from that for your own solo releases? A: "I don't adopt a hugely different approach writing with other people for their own projects. I try to work with artists I like and respect and feel a connection with. It's the same. I approach it like I'm part of the band or project. So that it has heart. Otherwise I couldn't do it." Q: In a 2015 interview Marc admitted that 'I never felt confident in myself as a songwriter', so was he reluctant to contribute to the writing process and were you able to coax more participation from him with the follow-up album? A: "Once he knew that my music was written for him, he threw himself completely into the writing and loved it." Q: On 'The Pain of Never' you used Tony Mansfield's trademark sonar sound for the first time. What was the thinking behind pulling that special effect out of the bag at that point in your career, as the Hello Leo album would have been the more obvious place to so? A: "I felt like it."

Q: Although your own name is credited on the album sleeve, why did the individual songs get credited as 'Magical Thinker' instead? A: "Contractual reasons." Q: As your own name only appears on the soundtrack cover, it's not so readily associated with you and was difficult to discover. Are there any other soundtracks you have been heavily involved in, rather than just contributing a particular song? A: "No." (Info sent via email by Chris Braide 21 April 2023.)

Q: Was there any special reason why you changed 'Ray & Me' to 'Dave & Me', and was it based on a real Ray or Dave in your life? A: "Ray was Glenn Tilbrook's mate, Dave was mine. My version was about dave who was my mate. Totally different lives Glenn and I have had obviously. Hence the story change. One relates to Glenn, one relates to me. Personal differnce. Simple." Q: Whether deliberate or coincidental (?), in some of your later songs ('You Control Me' being a perfect example) your voice is virtually indistinguishable from Trevor Horn's, so telling you apart can be quite difficult Did you contribute any backing vocals to the Reflection OST versions of Sky Show, or are those three (main version, Bel Air Reflected & Extended mix & unplugged) entirely Trevor's vocals? A: "I think it's Trevor, but he had me sing it all first so he could copy my phrasing and harmonies. We did it all in Los Angeles. He's not a confident singer so I helped him out as I co-wrote it and sang the demo." (Info sent via email by Chris Braide 21 April 2023.)
