Egress UK is pleased to announce the third EP from Distant Guns. "The Redundant Pioneer" explores themes of travel, geography, dislocation and the consequences of drinking on a boat. Tracklisting:

"Shakerley"
A voice is telling you to leave this town. You should listen to it.
"First Night On A Hostile Planet"
When there�s nowhere left that doesn�t have a �Rough Guide�, where will the true explorers go?
"The Hardest Man In Alaska"
A Cambridge accountant undergoes an epic struggle in the frozen wilderness� to impress his missus.
"The Redundant Pioneer" will be available as a limited edition CD with hand-finished artwork, free of charge to lucky members of the Distant Guns mailing list. A small quantity will also be made available from the Egress UK website. As with EP1 & EP2, the CD release will NEVER be reissued.

Hi Guys
I hope I made the List?
It was a near impossible task because of the time difference/s between our two countries.
I really loved your last CD.
Regards Dr. Bob  |

I've only given the CD a once-over & pretty much liked what I heard. I longed for a guitar solo & actually played a couple in my head when the requisite spot came around. A solo sprinkled here & about would have really kicked the album, even a simple searing scale to give some bite. I did particularly enjoy the droning theme of the EP.
Thanks mates for the tunes! 
The compass will get me where I need to go.
"We Set Sail From Granadaland" - TO HELL.. haha I love it!!
"Shakerley" - I'll have to listen again
"First Night On A Hostile Planet" - subdued vocals
"The Hardest Man In Alaska" - My favorite track |

Hey DeFrag, red_riviera & Guys
Now you have me really hanging out for my copy to arrive.
Unfortunately, Oz is a lot further away.
Let's hope the plane had a strong tail wind. 
Regards Dr. Bob |

Not our style, but feel free to provide your own!
Thanks for the kind words, DeFrag

Hi red_riviera & Guys
Yes it was a long trip to Oz, but your album arrived the other day.
It made it though customs & a strip search
Just had a quick listen, & I like it.
I so glad I requested one of your Promo CD's.
I don't have a favorite track yet, as I mentioned,
it's still my first listen, & I can't crank it, as it's very late here.
red_riviera.
I'll definitely be taking it to work, & let my muso mate listen to it as well.
The mini compass is a cool addition.
As well as the map on the inner sleeve liner.
Thanks a heap.
Regards Dr. Bob

Cheers Dr.Bob, hope it wasn't violated too much by Aussie Customs!
For those who haven't heard it, here's a review from Milk Milk Lemonade, along with a mp3 stream of Track 2, 'Shakerley':
