Bonbon Experiment

The Bonbon Experiment is 21 Years Old

About Me

Bonbon Experiment began in 1984 in Norton Canes, Staffordshire, the least rock and roll of places. An uncompromising synthesizer based gothic psychedelica followed and continued until 1985. 21 years after the initial phase was completed Bonbon Experiment is alive and well and on the web (www.classicelectronica.co.uk)

Everything is Possible in Childhood

Delays and details

Been listening to the rough mix of the album a lot, and there's one song that's still needed - half way through side one - to make it work; as well as a couple of re-recordings/re-writings of vocals/l...

New Happy Year

Well, perhaps not surprisingly, 2007 came and went without me completing the album - I've had a hectic 3 months with work and family stuff, so there's not been the time. I did put together a rough mix...

November Already

I can't believe its now November - which means I've had a couple of months without recording much at all - not helped by my recording study being out of order whilst the plumbers were in, and then two...

Getting down to it

I've some time this week to do some recording, but the sun is shining brightly, so not sure whether or not the lure of the studio will get me. I've a few half-developed musical and lyrical ideas. The ...

Difficult Rhythms

Things have moved on a bit on the recording front - and I'm moving quickly towards recording a new album, time willing. Its interesting - I recorded a backing track this weekend and couldn't get it to...

All together now... boop-bap-bare

After a 3 month break from recording, I've begun recording some new songs. First off the block, short and snappy, is "Inarticulate Strangers (Boop-bap-bare)". Hot off the 8-track and ready to listen t...
