    I just found 15 cds of 'Operation Fascination'. These were used for the promo campaign in 2010 but knowing this was the only chance I was going to have to press a physical product, I went for a full-scale production. It's a lovely thing to behold. The cover art by Pippa Ashton incorporating Gemma Cossins' photo. The liner notes list a Myspace page, ha! Comes with a digital copy of the album. I will sign it if you want. Ships media mail in the U.S.

about

A phrase I had read in a 'Teach Yourself German' book and quite liked. 'Little Books'. The narrator is another spy, in keeping with The Avengers and Bond themes of the album.

lyrics

The pool reflects their image as they change from hour to hour
They say she tastes like candy but she always looks so sour

This city, comes alive at evening, so do I
But what’s the meaning?
I take photographs with my pen, shut the cover, wait and then
These little books will one day, tell it all wrong anyway

She walks on whispers carefully as the leaves drop to the ground
They rush to vespers treacherously but there they won’t be found

This city, comes alive at evening, so do I
But what’s the meaning?
She asks what they’re planning tonight, It’ll be all there in black and white
Click the scene’s ghost in words, capture all their bitter looks


This city, comes alive at evening, so do I
But what’s the meaning?
I take photographs with my pen, shut the cover, wait and then
Spy around the corner, Big bends and small-time crooks
Is it as brittle as it looks? Write it all in little books
