Bad Stars
Bad Stars is an unreleased double album by Aches, the first electronic alias of Jonathan George Fox. The project was abandoned before Bad Stars could be completed.
I decided to shelve Bad Stars following significant personal challenges. Completing this work and facing the execution and scale was overwhelming. At the time I was moving around a lot between Ilfracombe, Bratislava and Sheffield, it became impossible to continue. In the end I managed to demo out the most "single-like" track on the release entitled Flight Coda (since renamed Flight Code) which scaffolded my ambient music alias. The track was played on Radio_FM Bratislava around 2015 while I was living with Jan and Patrik.
Since then my friend Filip Drábek (of the band Päfgens) has kindly curated the huge collection of ideas into a comprehensive double album. Which is currently sat un-mastered in storage. If you are interested in releasing this please get in touch.
