The Coral’s bass player Paul Duffy has led the project.
Doing things by the book has never been of much interest to The Coral.
Fitting then that on the anniversary of their idiosyncratic, modern classic self-titled debut album, the band have announced the release of a new version in re-recorded 8-bit form.
The first taste of this, Shadows Fall, is out with a video created by Dom Foster, who’s said:
We were in the process of filming the documentary and James asked Nick Power if anyone could make an 8-bit version of Shadows Fall for a short scene in which we were depicted as pixel characters. Nick said, ‘Duffy’s your man’. I’ve always been a bit of a gamer, so it was perfect for me.
“Everyone loved it so much that they said do the whole first album in 8-bit. Now it’s featured throughout the documentary.”
Caves Of Illusion Debut Album Celebration will be released on September 5th.
