BIOGRAPHY
The unique sound of EMPORIUM was brought together in January 1998 when work commenced on their first album of home recordings A FINE FINE LINE, released on PEOPLESOUND the following year.
Formed in Edinburgh originally as a 3-piece, Emporium chose to remain studio based for much of the next 4 years, performing just a short series of gigs in the summer of ' 98. Around this time the song SLEEPING DOGS was receiving acclaim from radio in Scotland and indeed reached the year-end top 10 songs on BBC SCOTLAND's BEAT PATROL show, as published in NME the following January. Together with a 5-star review in GUITARIST magazine for HAPPY HIGH e.p (and cover cd), the hard work was paying off....
Over the next 18 months many songs from their debut collection were given airplay including DREAM DAY, ZOMBIE, and the 2nd ltd edition single ELEVATE which was a collaboration with FREDDIE PHILLIPS, best known for his work on the 1960's TRUMPTONSHIRE t.v programmes.
By the new millenium Emporium had notched up 17 radio plays including ZOMBIE on STEVE WRIGHT show (BBC WORLD SERVICE) and HAPPY HIGH on EVENING SESSION in Scotland (BBC RADIO ONE). A second batch of songs was completed in 2000 for the album ITS THE THOUGHT THAT GETS YOU HIGH including SALISBURY PLAIN , NO WAY OUT, and their first nationally distributed single EMAIL EDDIE, released on the band's own label and distributed in the Uk by Pinnacle/Shellshock on January 22nd 2001. This was followed on July 30th by the single LISA ON THE SCREEN which was airplayed in Germany, Uk, Holland, and America where it was also given a glowing review in Boston's Music Business Monthly.
The release of HALLUCINATIONS (11 track collection) on April 1st 2002 brought further positive feedback from various media, and scored ALBUM OF THE MONTH on POPSCENE (Netherlands) and PLANETE INDIE (Belgium) , where it was also ranked 3rd best album of the year from the 11 nominated albums.
A single 'Sixes and Sevens' appeared the following October.
In 2003 Emporium were awarded a Scottish Arts Council Grant towards the recording of a forthcoming album.
The new album 'Silver Brainwaves'(13 tracks) was released on October 10th 2005, and was preceded by a vinyl single 'Wasted' on June 27th. The single was eventually given a digital release via Itunes on May 15th 2006.
On April 2nd 2007, a remix of 'Dice Man' featured on the 21 track Whimsical compilation 'Elevate'.
Dear Friends, Well, it's been six months since my abdominal surgery, and finally the music is starting to flow again. I've written two new songs "Bridge Of Shadows" and something a little different for me called "Looking Glass Man"...my first song using a Strat. I've never owned a Stratocaster before, was always a Les Paul guy (still am). But my wife promised me a new Strat if I just acted brave; and survived the surgery of course. I guessed the Fender would influence me in some "twangy way", but I never imagined it would be a Johhny Cash way, (not that I'm complaining, always kind of liked him). So if you get the chance, please stop by and give them a listen. All my very best to you, and thanks for being friends through some really tough times for me, Your friend, David

For the first Nerve release of 2009, we're very proud to present the debut EP from Copenhagen's Jean Doe.
It's drum n bass tinged with detroit techno and deep house, from the glitchy beats of the title track to deep rolling vibes on "Nuance" and "Fibre" before fellow Copenhagen based producer Pyro joins him for the epic and uplifting "Ambitions in A Minor".
To whom it may concern:
The Easter Bunny and I started drinking late last night and there's no sign of him slowing down anytime soon. So have a Happy Easter! The bunny will be around when he sobers up.
Hello My Dear Friends!
Sorry I haven't been in touch for so long, but over the winter I had major abdominal surgery, and though recovery has been slow, it has been steady and I'm starting finally to feel like my old self again. For surviving my wife bought me a new Stratocaster that I hope to include on some new songs in the very near future. I hope all is well with you and that 2009 is bringing BIG things your way. I just wanted to stop by and say I'm still alive ....literally!
All of my love and the absolute best to you and yours,
David England
Remember when trouble’s lasted only as long as the story books end And pages were drawn And broken glass still reflects memories continuing Up the very same stairs
And still I wonder where did we go wrong? I laughed with you just yesterday And yet that feels so long I still sleep in the sheets we fell beneath And still I wonder what did we do wrong? It never seemed to feel that way I never was that strong But who am I to speak Were we in love for just a week
And time just stands still Without familiar smiles filling my cup to the brim As I drink it all in With pane so think, looking out to see you’re the only one Being embraced by the sun
