MARK E SMITH & ED BLANEY The Train Part Three (2009 UK CD album - Mark E Smith has been called a Maverick over the last thirty plus years that he has led the Fall. Many people have tried to bend Mark E Smith to their will and failed time and time again. If making music under your own terms and whenever and with whomever you want then Mark E Smith is a maverick. Ed Blaney was a member of the Fall during late 2000-2001 playing on the album 'Are You Are Missing Winner' released in late 2001. In 2008, Smith and Blaney embarked on what seemed like a spontaneous project recording and releasing a number of limited edition singles. These singles were then collected together and released on an album entitled 'The Fall's Mark E Smith and Ed Blaney'. Mark E Smith and Ed Blaney's latest collaboration carries the title 'The Train Part 3' and is described as an Open Street Recordings of the past present and future. Recorded in October November and December 2008 these are field recordings that have been edited in the studio. The recordings were made in Blackpool, Salford, Yorkshire and the midnight train from Sophia-Karnobat [Bulgaria] and finally edited in Blueprint Studios Salford by Gary Hadfield under the production supervision of both Mark E Smith and Ed Blaney).
