Smith and Blaney

 Ed Blaney and Mark E Smith are set to work on a

collaborative project that will see the duo release a number

of limited edition of 1,000  "mock 7" singles" and also an

album to follow. Ed was approached by Voiceprint to work

on the project alongside Mark E Smith and Ed who formerly

managed The Fall was keen to be involved. The music

which the two have written and recorded is said to be

different from The Fall's work.
 
Speaking of his new project, Ed said: "I was approached

by email, but I had been away in Bulgaria for a while and

had thousands of emails to read. Mark and I work well

together, were close friends and the music has gone down

well, we will probably end up doing a few gigs."
 
The first limited edition is due to be released at the end of

this month, and another single set to follow.
 
Ed describes the five tracks as very spontaneous,

opinionated and humorous.

Ed added: "The tracks are all very different, and some

concentrate on current affairs. There are some acoustic

songs, I play the guitar and Mark sings, but even they have

a big full on sound."
