It's Official!! A new full-lenght Pete Mac Solo album is in the works. Some songs have already been recorded. Some songs are yet to be recorded. The songs have been written over the space of 5 years... Everything is still in it's early stages but an album should be released in the next few months.. mostly acoustic... a little more mellow than the normal Paradox stuff..

A NEW PETE MAC MYSPACE PAGE IS HERE TOO - http://www.myspace.com/petemacparadox

Be sure to stop by and request my friendship... There will also be full lenght songs from the new album on the Pete Mac MySpace page and much more ...Keep checking back for more details, track listing and updates..


Thanks for reading and listening.. and to every Paradox fan who has stuck with us... commented on our MySpace page, downloaded our albums or bought our CD's, spread the word.. You're help is greatly appreciated.

The new Pete Mac solo album titled "In Limbo" is nearly complete. 14 songs are set to appear on the album, a mix of songs recorded in 2005 and new songs recorded in 2008. Pete plays all the instruments on the album and is also responsible for the production. As of yet a release date is not set but it's looking like it could be early 2009. I was hoping to have it out before December this year but being the perfectionist that I am it looks unlikely.

Here are the songs that will appear on the album -

PETE MAC - IN LIMBO

1. Corporate Pollution (Acoustic version)

2. Kindred

3. Miles Behind

4. Emptiness

5. In Limbo

6. No People Day

When released "In Limbo" will be available on CD from CD Baby and also available for download on Apple iTunes, Napster, EMusic and all the main MP3 stores. I'll let you know more as soon as I know more.

Be sure to check out the Pete Mac MySpace @ http://www.myspace.com/petemacparadox Full lenght songs from the new album will be posted soon.
