Engine7 The Glorious Revolution

1st February 2022

The Glorious Revolution. The lost Engine7 album.

Started 12 years ago as a record called 'All the Beautiful Belongings', nearly finished and then completely scrapped apart from one song (All That I Wanted), and a new record built from that.

Another five years work, sometimes meticulous, sometimes frantic.

Finished and then put in a quiet drawer, never quite forgotten, until today, resurrected for no reason at all except that other people should enjoy this precious thing and they never will unless it's let out into the world.

So without fanfare, here it is. This will be the final Engine7 release. Thank you all for listening.

'The Glorious Revolution' is available to stream or buy on Bandcamp.

11th september 2011

Engine7 will be performing this Thursday, and as is our wont, we're pulling together something a little special.

4th august 2011

A cracking review of Friday's gig in clashmusic.com:

“Alan McNeill's Engine7 provide a big finish to the night. Performing as a full band in a live setting (as opposed to McNeill's solo recorded work under the name), Engine7 blend big walls of distorted guitars with a gentler post-rock ethos, also incorporating a significant electronic side from McNeill's live production. Elements of Múm and Explosions in the Sky are brought to mind, but with a nicely darker vibe. A new track, ‘All That I Wanted’ is one of many highlights, combining jittery electronics, heavy percussion and silky female vocals.”

3rd august 2011

Thanks to everyone who came to the Herb night on the 29th. Especially to Solipsism and Pumajaw who played, TheseAreIdeals on the projector, and Marie-Claire and Tomek who made up the Engine7 live collective.

4th March 2011

Big changes coming. One EP finished, one full length album nearly done. Just need to record some vocals and guitar I think. Very pleased with the sound so far. Summer gigs too: one in Edinburgh, one in Glasgow. Time for a new website too, perhaps. Who wants to follow me on Twitter?

1st January 2011

Wow, where did the time go? Well, Engine7 has not been as idle as you may think.

Hang on in there for some new releases, with a few surprises perhaps...

Live at Antimatter's Musicbox, The Universal, Glasgow.

27th February 2010

"Engine7 is an ambient soundtracky electronic group that takes sexy nods from Brian Eno big time. This shit will bring your eyes right of center and into gltiched out tears. Avant garde artistic movements are all around us humming like bees. Engine7 is a really cool ambient electronic / multimedia project that incorporates many forms of visual and audio stimuli... Support this artist."

Turns out that the tickets for the Musicbox event are starting to shift. The Universal is a small venue, and I don't want any of you guys being turned away, so snap up them tickets!

Three bucks direct from the Antimatter home page and the payment goes through via PayPal so it's easy peasy. There's no postage or booking costs because it's an eTicket - you just need to give them your name and e-mail address on the door and they can match you up to the receipt.

On Thursday 4th March, independent label and artist collective Antimatter debuts Musicbox, an evening of aural and visual delight...

The concept of Musicbox is simple. Musically, each line up features four of the best new up and coming artists around. We operate an open mixed genre policy. Acoustic artists play side by side with electronic, folk musicians next to experimental. Each artist has been specifically chosen to compliment the rest. The focus is on great music.

Visually, the focus isn't like any other gig... literally. The line up on the night also features four up and coming photographers. Each photographer is pre-assigned to a band. We give them a month to soak up the sound of their band and shoot a sequence of photographs as their interpretation of that band's music. Each sequence is then projected live on the night as a visual accompaniment to that band's performance.

So, if you want to hear the best new live music in town, and prefer visuals with real substance, get yourself down to Musicbox at The Universal on March 4th.

Performing Live:

• The Recovery Club
• Engine7
• Paul McLinden
• Lamplighter

Photographers:

• Kat McDonald
• Gavin Inglis
• Gingiber
• Retrogoth

The Universal, 57-59 Sauchiehall Lane, Glasgow, G2 4AB

Doors 8:00pm. First band 8:15pm. Tickets £3 or in advance from the Antimatter website.
