Sonic The Hedgehog - 10cc (1998)

Image
  In 1992, Lol Creme and Kevin Godley had found themselves in the studio with the other half of what was 10cc, Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. The four haven't made a song together since an unused ad for makeup, and haven't been in touch with the release of “Deceptive Bends”. Yet here they all were, standing in one place, and taking time to consider what it was they wanted to record. The first to suggest a song was Eric, who had a grand chunk of songs he hadn’t touched yet. Graham was happy to try Eric’s song, and soon Kevin and Lol agreed. Previously in the 80s, Kevin and Lol had gotten together to create (what they thought was) their final studio album together; “Goodbye Blue Sky”. While still having the mindset of heavy experimentation, they were able to set it aside for their old bandmates.

"Hobbies" - Ryan Magee

“Hobbies” is the third studio album by Ryan Magee. Released in 2028, the album had allegedly been in production since 2027. The main start of the album came from unused songs from his “Out Of Style” album. One of these was “Riders”, which would become the main single for the album. Production was halted however, mainly due to lawsuits from previous employees of Supermega.  “It all stemmed from these old contracts we made at Supermega.I feel it was foolish I let so much slip under my nose, but it was out of my hands. After all these suits it left me quite drained. But I think it truly fueled my creative ambitions.”  Ryan in 2027 The lawsuits mainly stemmed from unresolved contracts as well as a mishandling of Supermega’s small copyright. In the end, Ryan was able to keep the copyright, splitting it with Matt Watson.  After the debacle was sorted, Ryan resumed work on the album, picking up where he had left off.  The album has a much more Lo-fi feel than his pr...
