==Release Announcement==<br />
<br />
{{QuotesC|Over the past few months I've been working with [[Parlophone]] on pulling<br />
together the loose ends since the split of the band. What we have decided is<br />
that Mansun's fourth album sessions will be released later this year. These<br />
recordings will appear in a three CD package, entitled 'Kleptomania'. CD1<br />
will be the fourth album sessions, CD2 will have the best stuff from the EPs<br />
(the tracks that weren't ever available on the albums), and CD3 will be rare<br />
and unreleased material that we have dug up from the vaults at [[Abbey Road Studios|Abbey Road]]. I<br />
will also be writing detailed sleeve notes for the release which should be<br />
out in the autumn of this year.<br />

'''Kleptomania sleeve notes by Paul Draper, July 2004:'''<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Template:QuotesC|'''When Parlophone first approached me to put out tracks from the aborted fourth Mansun album I had a listen through a big pile of tapes and rough CDs that I had walked away from, with no idea of what type of record I was writing. I felt really terrible about the demise of the band and had no judgement on the quality of what the band had recorded so far for the fourth album. To say it was difficult to record is an understatement. Different versions, alternative choruses, different versions, guide vocals, bum notes, you name it. Tracks you'll hear are unfinished songs, and I had always intended to add another 2 or 3 songs to the album. In hindsight I think the music I wrote is good enough for people to look past all this and hear the songs, the words and melodies. I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to what is essentially a work-in-progress. We initially considered calling the album Mansun, but towards the end of the sessions Kleptomania was intended to be the title. So it has now become the title of this record.''<br />
<br />
''This CD is for all the fans who stuck with the band through thick and thin and to the people who petitioned for these songs to be released. We'll never be able to repay you for the enthusiasm for our music, for the euphoria of the good times and the support through the bad. Thank you for coming to the gigs and festivals, for writing the fanzines, fansites and letters, for buying the records but most of all for allowing this music to see the light of day.''''''<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Paul Draper<br />
<br />
<br />
1. '''Getting Your Way'''<br />
<br />
'This was always going to be the opening song on the album. The last version of this song had a completely new chorus but was not complete enough to release. This is an earlier version that sounds close to the version we played on our last tour.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered and mixed by Cenzo Townsend.''<br />
<br />
<br />
2. '''Slipping Away'''<br />
<br />
'This was recorded at Jacob's studio in Surrey. This is an early version of the song before new guitars were added, but the only mix we have available in a listenable form.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered and mixed by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Paul Draper. 'Instrumental track between Slipping Away and Keep Telling Myself composed and performed by Dominic Chad from 'The Parrot Sessions'.''<br />
<br />
<br />
3. '''Keep Telling Myself'''<br />
<br />
'I woke up on September 11 2001 to see the second plane going into the World Trade Centre. I wrote this song that day, it was the first song I had written in a very long time. I remember vividly writing it but it wasn't an enjoyable experience, I just needed to do it. This is a fully finished song that Mike Hunter mixed with me in my home studio.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper.''<br />
<br />
<br />
4. '''Harris'''<br />
<br />
'I wrote this song about how people are blinded by nationalism. Harris refers to Bomber Harris. Chad and I recorded the vocals and guitar live at [[Rockfield Studios]] and later overdubbed the backing vocals and bass.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper.''<br />
<br />
<br />
5. '''Love Remains'''<br />
<br />
'We listened through my home demo version before recording, then just played the track a few times and this is how it sounded. It was done in Jane Seymour's ballroom at St. Catherine's Court, where we did most of the recording for these 4th album sessions.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper.''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. '''Cry 2 My Face'''<br />
<br />
'This was the last song recorded for the album. It was never finished and this rough version is the only copy that exists.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper.''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. '''No Signal/No Complaints'''<br />
<br />
'This was the first song recorded for the album. We rehearsed it at a rented farmhouse in Surrey then recorded it live at [[RAK Studios]] in London. It's a song about running away from technology and progress. But listening back it sounds like me running away from the band.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper.''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8. '''Home'''<br />
<br />
'About being involved in a destructive relationship and having the strength to get out of it. Only a guide vocal exists on this track, other than that the backing track is complete.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Paul Draper.''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9. '''Fragile'''<br />
<br />
'A George Orwell inspired vision of the future where your only refuge is your own home.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Barney Chase. Mixed by Cenzo Townsend.''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
10. '''Wanted So Much'''<br />
<br />
'I was trying to get a hybrid of an electronic and rock track as the arrangement for this song. I wanted to cut up the bass guitar on the verse so it was like a big beat record going into a powerful bridge. I wrote this when I was disillusioned with living in the city and wanted to get away from it all. The lyrics are pretty self explanatory.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Barney Chase. Mixed by Cenzo Townsend. Drum programming by Chris Agnew.''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11. '''Good Intentions Heal The Soul'''<br />
<br />
'I always has a problem with writing direct lyrics, I wrapped things up in gobbledegook so as to not expose myself too much. This song puts that right. This was originally intended to be the closing track on the album.'<br />
<br />
''Engineered by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper.''<br />
<br />
===''CD2 - Non-Album Singles, B-Sides and EP-Only Tracks''===<br />
<br />
<br />
'Thanks to everyone who voted in the online poll to help compile this "Best of the EPs" CD. Tracks that also appear on albums were ineligible, as were live, acoustic and remixed tracks. Onliy original songs were allowed. Virtually all the tracks on this CD were in the top 20 of the poll, while I added one or two of my favourites.'<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''1. Take It Easy Chicken'''<br />
<br />
'This was the first track we ever recorded. We bought a reel of multi-track tape and drove down to [[Sonic Studios]] in Ealing London (this was the cheapest studio we could find in the back of the Melody Maker) to record four songs in a day in the summer of 1995. As our favourite track from the session we had 1000 copies of Take It Easy pressed up on 7" vinyl to launch our garden shed record label 'Sci Fi Hi Fi' and sent a few in the post to Radio 1 where it was played by John Peel and Steve Lamacq. I couldn't believe it when I first heard them play the song, we'd never played a gig, could hardly play live and had no record deal.'<br />
<br />
''Written and produced by Paul Draper. Engineered by [[Ronnie Stone]]. Assisted by [[Mike Hunter]]. Mixed by [[Mark 'Spike' Stent]].'' Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1996. ''Originally released as a 7" single on Sci Fi Hi Fi recordings. Later released as the lead track on the TWO EP.''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''2. Everyone Must Win'''<br />
<br />
'One of my favourite bands and one that was a big influence on me for their mix of synths and guitars, was Magazine. Although I knew Howard Devoto (Magazine's main man) had not really been writing and recording for a while, I approached him anyway to collaborate on something and in return received a set of lyrics and a demo in the post. Chad and I wrote the music around the lyrics and we worked out the rhythms and arrangement as a band in [[Parr Street Studios]], Liverpool. This was my first collaboration and I was really nervous as to what Howard would think of it. This song became a regular in our live set.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper/[[Howard Devoto]]/Dominic Chad. Produced by Paul Draper. Engineered and mixed by Mike Hunter. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd/Copyright Control. 1997. Taken from the [[Seven EP (EP)|SEVEN EP]] (Closed For Business CD2)''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''3. Closed For Business'''<br />
<br />
'After completing our first U.S. tour in 1997 we returned to Parr Street studios where we had done most of our recording during the previous year. We recorded four tracks for an EP which was to be released in October 1997. This song, which I had written on the road in America, became the lead track on the EP. It was really not a commercial track compared to The World's Still Open which was going to be the lead track but became relegated to being track 4 for being too commercial.'<br />
<br />
''Written and produced by [[Paul Draper]]. Engineered by Mike Hunter. Mixed and strings recorded by Mark 'Spike' Stent. Harpsichord played by [[Dominic Chad]]. Strings arranged by Paul Draper and [[Stephen Hussey]]. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1997. Released as the lead track on the SEVEN EP''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''4. Ski Jump Nose'''<br />
<br />
'This was originally a contender for lead track on our first EP for Parlophone records after signing to them at the start of 1996. In the end it was pipped by Egg Shaped Fred. It was part of our live set all the way through the first album and then we resurrected it for our headline performance at the Reading Festival in 1999.'<br />
<br />
''Written and produced by [[Paul Draper]]. Engineered and mixed by [[Ronnie Stone]]. Assisted by Mike Hunter. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1996. Taken from the ONE EP.''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''5. Can't Afford To Die'''<br />
<br />
'We recorded this track at [[Surrey Sound Studios]] in Leatherhead, which doesn't exist anymore. We went there because that's where The Police recorded a load of their early singles and we wanted to get a Stewart Copeland drum sound. We didn't quite manage it, but the track turned out alright anyway.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper/Dominic Chad. Produced by Paul Draper. Recorded by Mike Hunter. Mixed by [[Ian Grimble]]. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1998. Taken from the EIGHT EP (Legacy CD1).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''6. Railings'''<br />
<br />
'This was the second song we collaborated on with Howard Devoto, this time we met up with Howard in the studio to do the vocals. There were quite a few versions of this song recorded, one with just my singing, and one with just Howard singing. Eventually this version was released.'<br />
<br />
''Written by [[Howard Devoto]]. Produced by Paul Draper and Howard Devoto. Recorded by Mike Hunter. Mixed by [[Ian Grimble]]. Published by Copyright Control. 1998. Taken from the NINE EP (Being A Girl CD1).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''7. Flourella'''<br />
<br />
'After our first recording session in London, we heard of a small recording studio in Ewloe, North Wales, near to where I grew up. I heard the Stone Roses had worked there on the ''Second Coming'' album. I'd never known it was there before but went and found it. We booked some studio time for our second recording session, to record some new songs that I had written, including this one. Initially I intended this song to be on our first album, fitting in lyrically with the eventual theme of ''Attack of the Grey Lantern'', an idea I had been mulling around for years to write a collection of songs about shady small town characters I had met growing up in North Wales. Another song similar in style to Flourella was Moronica, a song we recorded in our first ever batch of recordings. Listening back to them now I can hardly believe I wrote songs with such bizarre lyrics.<br />
<br />
''Written and produced by Paul Draper. Engineered by Mike Hunter, Ronnie Stone and Ian Caple. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1997. Released as a double A-side single (with Skin Up Pin Up) on Regal Recordings. A different mix was later released on the FIVE EP (She Makes My Nose Bleed CD1).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''8. Decisions, Decisions'''<br />
<br />
'One of a few Bowie influenced tracks we recorded during the lifetime of Mansun. I love Chad's guitar solo at the end. I suppose this was a bit of a pastiche/tribute to Bowie, who we toured with in 1997 and who was a truly lovely guy and a real hero of mine.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper/Dominic Chad. Produced and mixed by [[Hugh Padgham]]. Co-produced by Mike Hunter. Strings scored by Ann Dudley. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 2000. Taken from I Can Only Disappoint U (CD1).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''9. Been Here Before'''<br />
<br />
'We started recording the ''Six'' album in Liverpool then moved down to Olympic studio to carry on the session. This was the first track to come out of these Olympic sessions. I remember having a really bad deja vu or 'groundhog day' experience, which sparked me to quickly write this song.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper/Dominic Chad. Produced by Paul Draper and Mark 'Spike' Stent. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1998. Taken from the NINE EP (Being A Girl CD2).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''10. My Idea Of Fun'''<br />
<br />
'This song is about how a serial killer's view of the world would seem normal to himself. It was recorded above Bath Moles club but the session didn't go too smoothly as the building we were staying in caught fire in the middle of the night and four fire engines arrived and evacuated us. After a bit of oxygen and a night's rest we were ok to carry on, but it was a close call.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper/Dominic Chad. Produced, engineered and mixed by Mike Hunter. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 2000. Taken from I Can Only Disappoint U (CD2).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''11. When The Wind Blows'''<br />
<br />
'When I was a kid there was a cartoon film about an old couple living through a nuclear attack. I had had notes for years to write a song about it as it really affected my at the time. I bought a graphic novel of the cartoon and read it then wrote this song. This is one of my favourite EP tracks we ever released.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper/Dominic Chad. Produced by Paul Draper and Mark 'Spike' Stent. Mixed by Mark 'Spike' Stent. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1998. Taken from the TEN EP (Negative CD1).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''12. Check Under The Bed'''<br />
<br />
'This was the first thing we recorded after we finished the Six album. I'd used up a lot of my song ideas on that album, so this was a really old track which we dug out and worked on.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper/Dominic Chad. Recorded by Mike Hunter. Mixed by Ian Grimble. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1998. Taken fron the EIGHT EP (Legacy CD1).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''13. Skin Up Pin Up'''<br />
<br />
'This came out of our first ever recording session in London, and became one of our second double A-sde single - released on the Regal label - with Flourella. We'd all taken the day off work and to London in the early hours of the morning and this was the first song we recorded. I remember staying up the night before programming the drum loops so we'd save time in the studio. 808 State later remixed this track for the soundtrack to the film ''Spawn'', which I really liked.' <br />
<br />
''Written and produced by Paul Draper. Engineered by [[Ronnie Stone]] at [[Angel Share Studio]]. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1996. Originally released as a double A-side single (with Flourella) on [[Regal Recordings]]. Later featured in the FOUR EP (Wide Open Space CD1).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''14. I Care'''<br />
<br />
'During the writing of the ''Six'' album my lyrics became really dark as tried to distance myself from the commercial animal that Mansun was becoming. This is probably the most disturbing lyric I ever wrote, I remember finding it difficult to sing and find it hard to write about now.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper. Produced by Paul Draper and Mark 'Spike' Stent. Recorded and mixed by Mark 'Spike' Stent. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1998. Taken from the NINE EP (Being A Girl CD2).''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''15. The World's Still Open'''<br />
<br />
'this was the last thing we recorded for the Closed For Business session and we started it on the last day of recording, forcing Mike Hunter (our long time engineer) to stay up all night mixing it. We wanted it to sound like all of our favourite records from the seventies in one recording.'<br />
<br />
''Written and produced by Paul Draper. Engineered and mixed by Mike Hunter. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 1997. Taken from the SEVEN EP (Closed For Business CD2).''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===''CD3 - Rarities, Demos And Unreleased Tracks''===<br />
<br />
<br />
'''1. Rock 'N' Roll Loser'''<br />
<br />
'Originally we thought this was going to be the first single off ''Little Kix'', but everyone went off it and it was discarded from the session. It has sat in the vaults at Abbey road since 1999.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper. Produced by Paul Draper and Hugh Padgham. Engineered by Mike Hunter. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 2004. Previously unreleased from Little Kix sessions.''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''2. Secrets'''<br />
<br />
'A song we tried out on our last tour. I intended to add an intro and a different chorus, but this is where we were at with the track when the band split. Only a guide vocal exists. This song was always known as, "the totally different track". I wrote the lyrics after the track was recorded and put this throw away vocal on during the last night of a session at [[Rockfield studio]] in Wales.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper. Produced by [[Richard Rainey]] and Paul Draper. Engineered by [[Cenzo Townsend]]. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 2004. Previously unreleased from the 4th album sessions.''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''3. These Days (Full Length Version)'''<br />
<br />
'This is the original full length version of a little section that was going to be on the 4th album. It originally started as this song, but I eventually edited it down. The song is about reaching a place or peace and calm in life but not being sure if its apathy or genuine happiness.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper. Produced by Richard Rainey and Paul Draper. Engineered by [[Barney Chase]]. Mixed by Mike Hunter and Paul Draper. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 2004. Previously unreleased from the 4th album sessions.''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''4. It's OK'''<br />
<br />
'Both It's Ok and Drones were songs I wrote at [[Stanbridge Farm]] in Sussex while rehearsing with the band. We recorded them live at [[RAK Studios]] in St. John's Wood, London in early 2000.'<br />
<br />
''Written by Paul Draper. Produced and engineered by [[Cliff Norrell]]. Mixed by Mike Hunter. Published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd. 2004. Previously unreleased.''<br />

'''Feeling My Heart Run Slow''' was initially recorded at [[Hugh Padgham]]'s now defunct [[Sofa Sound]] studios in London in early 2015. Studio personnel for the three day stint were [[Paul Draper]] (guitar and vocals), [[Ben Stack]] (bass), [[Jon Barnett]] (drums), [[Ben Sink]] (assistant engineer), [[Scott Knapper]] (engineer) and [[Suzi Meredith]] (filming and photographing the session for future releases).<br />
<br />
The main reason for the session was to get the live drum track down so Paul could then continue to work on the track in his production room at Sofa Sound, [[The Kitchen]]. Although all other instruments were re-recorded at a later date, certain elements such as the twangy guitar effects that Paul played while messing around during the session remained in the final version of the song.<br />
<br />
Feeling My Heart Run Slow was chosen by Paul to be played exclusively at the 2014 Mansun convention that was held in Chester on 23rd August. The track has since undergone a large transformation compared to the original version that was heard at the convention.<br />
<br />
== Official Release ==<br />
<br />
In January 2016 Paul Draper stated that a new single would be forthcoming, in the months that followed it was announced that [[Too Pure]] Singles Club were going to exclusively release Paul's single on their label to celebrate 100 releases of vinyl from the club. On the 26{{supo|th}} April 2016 the single was announced on the Steve Lamacq show as being Feeling My Heart Run Slow, and that Paul described the track as "a thundering juggernaut of a revenge rock n roll song" as is described on Paul's store page promoting the forthcoming EP - [http://pauldraper.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=28184 EP One], due for release on June 10{{supo|th}} 2016.<br />

==Biography==<br />
<br />
Paul Draper grew up on Garmoyle Road in Wavertree, Liverpool before moving with his family to Connah's Quay, Deeside, which Draper described as "the absolute nothing of Great Britain", adding "It's a horrible, horrible place. In Liverpool, if you're 15 and you pick up an acoustic guitar in school and play a song, then people would listen. But in my school when I tried to take in a guitar, I was just a poof and a queer, and that was that"<br />
<br />
==Early Days==<br />
<br />
Draper attended St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School, Flint and Thames Polytechnic (now University of Greenwich) where he formed [[Grind]] in 1991 with [[Steve Heaton]] and drummer [[Carlton Hibbert]] who regularly played around London and released one 12" single titled [[Thoughts/A Dying Man]] before splitting.<br />
<br />
==The Mansun Years==<br />
<br />
On 16 May 2006, Draper announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer during fourth album sessions at [[Rockfield Studios]]. After a blister appeared on his left hand middle finger that kept bleeding, Draper visited a local doctor who took a sample of tissue from the finger. He was informed that it was a malignant tumour known as a "Bowenoid Malignancy", and responded positively to five cycles of chemotherapy. However, he was unable to play for several months after the tumour was cut out and his finger swelled up following treatment<br />
<br />
==Life after Mansun==<br />
Paul has always been interested in the Studio Engineering side of things, so after Mansun disbanded he pursued a career as a Studio Engineer/Record Producer.<br />
<br />
To date below is a list of Artists/Bands that Paul was collaborated, produced work worked with:<br />
<br />
* [[Skin |'Skin' from Skunk Anansie]]<br />
* [[Catherine Anne Davies]] / [[The Anchoress]]<br />
* [[Paul Oakenfold]]<br />
* [[The Joy Formidable]]<br />
* [[Menace Beach]]<br />
* [[You Animals]]<br />
<br />
==Solo Projects==<br />
Paul had been working on his own solo projects either during and after Mansun, he shelved his solo project and removed himself on social networks in order to refocus and concentrate on his career as working as a Studio Engineer and Record Producer.<br />
<BR><br />
=== The Resurrection of his long awaited Solo album ===<br />
In 2013 a facebook petition was created asking Paul to rethink his own solo project<ref name="pdlouderthanwar09Dec2013Interview">{{Cite/PaulDraperLouderThanWar09Dec2013}}</ref>, it gained huge support in a small amount of time and this plus the letters and messages he recieved during a [[Menace Beach]] live session at the BBC, persuaded Paul to resurrect his solo works.<br />

<br />
=== Lead up to Spooky Action ===<br />
<br />
=== January 2016 ===<br />
Paul announced that he was working on releasing an EP some time this year before the release of Spooky Action.<BR>It was rumoured that a single may be released also, and on the 25th February 2016 Paul announced that his debut solo single would be released on the [[Too Pure]] singles club (no titled given), with Side B being a collaboration between him and Steven Wilson on [[KSCOPE Records]] (label-mates with [[Catherine Anne Davies]]).<br />
<br />
=== April 2016 ===<br />
On April the 26th the title track of Paul's new single [[Feeling My Heart Run Slow|Feeling My Heart Run Slow (Song)]] was aired for the first time on [[Steve Lamacq]]'s BBC Radio 6 show, and copies of the single arrived to subscribers of the Too Pure singlesd club on Wednesday 27th April, where it was announced by the owner of Too Pure - Paul Riddlesworth that whomever had copy number 100 would also receive a special gift - the FMHRS Vinyl Test Pressing!! (Mel Fayers was the lucky subscriber). On the same day a video appeared on the Paul Draper Official YouTube page which featured links to a new Paul Draper Store where pre-order copies of his new forthcoming EP could be purchased, and a new Soundcloud page with FMHRS featured.<br />

{{QuotesC|<br />
This is my Number 1 album of all time and again; it’s a coming together of stuff. For a start, it’s got 14 really short sharp tracks on it. It’s got a brilliant opening track in “Taxman” and a brilliant closing track in “Tomorrow Never Knows” – so a fantastic top and tail to the album and it’s just so varied<br />

== Concept ==<br />
'''Spooky Action At A Distance''' is the working title of [[Paul Draper|Paul Draper's]] debut solo album project which has its roots from when Paul travelled around Nashville and the southern states of the USA after Mansun had split.<br />
<br />
It was revealed around the Kleptomania era circa 2004 that Paul had these workings and was unsure if these songs would ever see the light of day, his album was to be recorded and released.<br />
<br />
In '''2015''' the working name of the album was revised and is now just called '''Spooky Action'''.<br />
=== Working Titles ===<br />
In 2008 Paul listed the work in progress titles of the songs to the then untitled solo album project<ref name="EarlySpookyWipTitles">{{Template:Cite/PDsoloProjectWIPtitles6Mar2008}}</ref>:<br />

== Buried ==<br />
<br />
Much to the disappointment of the many fans of Paul and Mansun who had waited years for this project to be released it was to be shelved. During the demo phase after Paul had returned from the USA he had become disillusioned with the music industry and after the turbulent implosion of Mansun he decided to pull the album. Around (approx) 2011 Paul removed himself from Social networking sites and took the decision to focus on his own career as a Studio Engineer and Producer. That seemed to be the final conclusion to the project.<br />
<br />
== Resurfacing of the Solo Project ==<br />
<br />
There is a facebook group called 'Mansuns Only Love Song' where thousands of fans still have Mansun at the centre of their world , around Sept 2013 (i think) when Paul made a reappearance on Twitter, and a joking comment was made about 3000 people wouldn't want to witness Pauls work (sources required).<br />
Through much discussion on the Facebook group a petition was created with the sole purpose of showing Paul that they would love to hear Paul's Solo Project work. After a few thousand people 'liked' the page as a sign of their support it was evident that a genuine heard of fans would support Paul. Paul listened carefully.<br />

'''Feeling My Heart Run Slow''' was initially recorded at [[Hugh Padgham]]'s now defunct [[Sofa Sound]] studios in London in early 2015. Studio personnel for the three day stint were [[Paul Draper]] (guitar and vocals), [[Ben Stack]] (bass), [[Jon Barnett]] (drums), [[Ben Sink]] (assistant engineer), [[Scott Knapper]] (engineer) and [[Suzi Meredith]] (filming and photographing the session for future releases).<br />
<br />
The main reason for the session was to get the live drum track down so Paul could then continue to work on the track in his production room at Sofa Sound, [[The Kitchen]]. Although all other instruments were re-recorded at a later date, certain elements such as the twangy guitar effects that Paul played while messing around during the session remained in the final version of the song.<br />
<br />
Feeling My Heart Run Slow was chosen by Paul to be played exclusively at the 2014 Mansun convention that was held in Chester on 23rd August. The track has since undergone a large transformation compared to the original version that was heard at the convention.<br />
<br />
== Official Release ==<br />
<br />
In January 2016 Paul Draper stated that a new single would be forthcoming, in the months that followed it was announced that [[Too Pure]] Singles Club were going to exclusively release Paul's single on their label to celebrate 100 releases of vinyl from the club. On the 26{{supo|th}} April 2016 the single was announced on the Steve Lamacq show as being Feeling My Heart Run Slow, and that Paul described the track as "a thundering juggernaut of a revenge rock n roll song" as is described on Paul's store page promoting the forthcoming EP - [http://pauldraper.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=28184 EP One], due for release on June 10{{supo|th}} 2016.<br />

==Biography==<br />
<br />
Paul Draper grew up on Garmoyle Road in Wavertree, Liverpool before moving with his family to Connah's Quay, Deeside, which Draper described as "the absolute nothing of Great Britain", adding "It's a horrible, horrible place. In Liverpool, if you're 15 and you pick up an acoustic guitar in school and play a song, then people would listen. But in my school when I tried to take in a guitar, I was just a poof and a queer, and that was that"<br />
<br />
==Early Days==<br />
<br />
Draper attended St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School, Flint and Thames Polytechnic (now University of Greenwich) where he formed [[Grind]] in 1991 with [[Steve Heaton]] and drummer [[Carlton Hibbert]] who regularly played around London and released one 12" single titled [[Thoughts/A Dying Man]] before splitting.<br />
<br />
==The Mansun Years==<br />
<br />
On 16 May 2006, Draper announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer during fourth album sessions at [[Rockfield Studios]]. After a blister appeared on his left hand middle finger that kept bleeding, Draper visited a local doctor who took a sample of tissue from the finger. He was informed that it was a malignant tumour known as a "Bowenoid Malignancy", and responded positively to five cycles of chemotherapy. However, he was unable to play for several months after the tumour was cut out and his finger swelled up following treatment<br />
<br />
==Life after Mansun==<br />
Paul has always been interested in the Studio Engineering side of things, so after Mansun disbanded he pursued a career as a Studio Engineer/Record Producer.<br />
<br />
To date below is a list of Artists/Bands that Paul was collaborated, produced work worked with:<br />
<br />
* [[Skin |'Skin' from Skunk Anansie]]<br />
* [[Catherine Anne Davies]] / [[The Anchoress]]<br />
* [[Paul Oakenfold]]<br />
* [[The Joy Formidable]]<br />
* [[Menace Beach]]<br />
* [[You Animals]]<br />
<br />
==Solo Projects==<br />
Paul had been working on his own solo projects either during and after Mansun, he shelved his solo project and removed himself on social networks in order to refocus and concentrate on his career as working as a Studio Engineer and Record Producer.<br />
<BR><br />
=== The Resurrection of his long awaited Solo album ===<br />
In 2013 a facebook petition was created asking Paul to rethink his own solo project<ref name="pdlouderthanwar09Dec2013Interview">{{Cite/PaulDraperLouderThanWar09Dec2013}}</ref>, it gained huge support in a small amount of time and this plus the letters and messages he recieved during a [[Menace Beach]] live session at the BBC, persuaded Paul to resurrect his solo works.<br />

<br />
=== Lead up to Spooky Action ===<br />
<br />
=== January 2016 ===<br />
Paul announced that he was working on releasing an EP some time this year before the release of Spooky Action.<BR>It was rumoured that a single may be released also, and on the 25th February 2016 Paul announced that his debut solo single would be released on the [[Too Pure]] singles club (no titled given), with Side B being a collaboration between him and Steven Wilson on [[KSCOPE Records]] (label-mates with [[Catherine Anne Davies]]).<br />
<br />
=== April 2016 ===<br />
On April the 26th the title track of Paul's new single [[Feeling My Heart Run Slow|Feeling My Heart Run Slow (Song)]] was aired for the first time on [[Steve Lamacq]]'s BBC Radio 6 show, and copies of the single arrived to subscribers of the Too Pure singlesd club on Wednesday 27th April, where it was announced by the owner of Too Pure - Paul Riddlesworth that whomever had copy number 100 would also receive a special gift - the FMHRS Vinyl Test Pressing!! (Mel Fayers was the lucky subscriber). On the same day a video appeared on the Paul Draper Official YouTube page which featured links to a new Paul Draper Store where pre-order copies of his new forthcoming EP could be purchased, and a new Soundcloud page with FMHRS featured.<br />

<br />
{{QuotesC|<br />
This is my Number 1 album of all time and again; it’s a coming together of stuff. For a start, it’s got 14 really short sharp tracks on it. It’s got a brilliant opening track in “Taxman” and a brilliant closing track in “Tomorrow Never Knows” – so a fantastic top and tail to the album and it’s just so varied<br />

<br />
== Early Days ==<br />
Having formed Mansun with [[Paul Draper (musician)|Paul Draper]], with whom he shared an interest in graphic design.<ref>{{cite |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030609003321/http://natts.com/mansun/mansun.html |title=About Mansun |publisher=Way Back Machine |dom=web.archive.org |date= |accessdate=2014-08-18}}</ref> His first bass was an [[Aria Pro]], which he bought to rehearse with Draper – the pair would play along to drum loops in their bedrooms.<ref name="archive1">Reid, Pat, [http://web.archive.org/web/20021224053702/mansun.net/cgi-bin/features/view.cgi?newsid=871617600,75669,Interviews Burning Ambition - Mansun's Stove], web.archive.org. Retrieved August 2011</ref> Having not picked up an instrument prior to the formation of Mansun, King went on to become a solid bass player, with ''Bassist Magazine'' commenting in 1997 that despite being a relative newcomer to the instrument and being self-deprecating in interviews, "Stove and Mansun drummer [[Andie Rathbone]] have formed a pretty solid bond in the rhythm department".<ref name="archive1"/><br />
<br />
== The Mansun Years ==<br />
<br />
After he took up lessons in playing the bass before Mansun, he became a solid bass player for the band and took a commanding stage presence, but he did struggle with playing bass in the recording studio. His parts were often subbed out to Dom or Paul.<br />
<br />
Stove also became a pivotal member of Mansun in terms of promoting the band. At one point, he operated the [[Mansaphone]] - an answerphone dedicated to Mansun. The phone number to which was printed on all the band's releases) installed in his house to update fans on news and also receive messages from them. He along with some of the other band members would listen to fans messages and often reply by phoning them back and talking to fans directly. Something unheard of by any other band.<br />
<br />
== Life after Mansun ==<br />
<br />
Has has been rumoured to have raced in Speedway events, at one point worked in Deeside for a large car manufacturing plant, and supposedly lived overseas.<br />
<br />
== Solo Projects ==<br />
<br />
It's not known if Steve has worked on any musical projects since his departure from the band or still plays bass guitar.<br />

==Biography==<br />
<br />
Paul Draper grew up on Garmoyle Road in Wavertree, Liverpool before moving with his family to Connah's Quay, Deeside, which Draper described as "the absolute nothing of Great Britain", adding "It's a horrible, horrible place. In Liverpool, if you're 15 and you pick up an acoustic guitar in school and play a song, then people would listen. But in my school when I tried to take in a guitar, I was just a poof and a queer, and that was that"<br />
<br />
==Early Days==<br />
<br />
Draper attended St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School, Flint and Thames Polytechnic (now University of Greenwich) where he formed [[Grind]] in 1991 with [[Steve Heaton]] and drummer [[Carlton Hibbert]] who regularly played around London and released one 12" single titled [[Thoughts/A Dying Man]] before splitting.<br />
<br />
==The Mansun Years==<br />
<br />
On 16 May 2006, Draper announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer during fourth album sessions at [[Rockfield Studios]]. After a blister appeared on his left hand middle finger that kept bleeding, Draper visited a local doctor who took a sample of tissue from the finger. He was informed that it was a malignant tumour known as a "Bowenoid Malignancy", and responded positively to five cycles of chemotherapy. However, he was unable to play for several months after the tumour was cut out and his finger swelled up following treatment<br />
<br />
==Life after Mansun==<br />
Paul has always been interested in the Studio Engineering side of things, so after Mansun disbanded he pursued a career as a Studio Engineer/Record Producer.<br />
<br />
To date below is a list of Artists/Bands that Paul was collaborated, produced work worked with:<br />
<br />
* [[Skin |'Skin' from Skunk Anansie]]<br />
* [[Catherine Anne Davies]] / [[The Anchoress]]<br />
* [[Paul Oakenfold]]<br />
* [[The Joy Formidable]]<br />
* [[Menace Beach]]<br />
* [[You Animals]]<br />
<br />
==Solo Projects==<br />
Paul had been working on his own solo projects either during and after Mansun, he shelved his solo project and removed himself on social networks in order to refocus and concentrate on his career as working as a Studio Engineer and Record Producer.<br />
<BR><br />
=== The Resurrection of his long awaited Solo album ===<br />
In 2013 a facebook petition was created asking Paul to rethink his own solo project<ref name="pdlouderthanwar09Dec2013Interview">{{Cite/PaulDraperLouderThanWar09Dec2013}}</ref>, it gained huge support in a small amount of time and this plus the letters and messages he recieved during a [[Menace Beach]] live session at the BBC, persuaded Paul to resurrect his solo works.<br />
<BR>For the full run down on Spooky Action check out the '''[[Spooky Action at a Distance]]''' dedicated page.<br />
<br />
=== Lead up to Spooky Action ===<br />
<br />
In January 2016 Paul announced that he was working on releasing an EP some time this year which may or may not be before the release of Spooky Action.<BR>It was rumoured that a single may be released also, and on the 25th February 2016 Paul announced that his debut solo single would be released on the [[Too Pure]] singles club, with Side B being a collaboration between him and Steven Wilson on [[KSCOPE Records]] (label-mates with [[Catherine Anne Davies]]). It is not known what song will feature as the main track on Side A on the limited edition 7" Vinyl.<br />

<BR>The band were offered a publishing contract with Polygram Music Publishing four days after reluctantly handing over a demo tape of 4 songs that cost £150 to record featuring "[[Take It Easy Chicken (Song)|Take It Easy Chicken]]", "[[Skin Up Pin Up (Song)|Skin Up Pin Up]] / [[Flourella (Song)|Flourella]]", "[[Moronica (Song)|Moronica]]" and "[[She Makes My Nose Bleed (Song)|She Makes My Nose Bleed]]".<br />
<br />
== Early Years ==<br />
The band were initially called "Grey Lantern", after Draper's DC Comics influenced alter ego which he created to help overcome his nervousness on stage,<ref>{{cite|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20041029022750fw_/http://www.kuro.btinternet.co.uk/infocopy.html |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2004-10-29 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref> but soon changed their name to "Manson", after the cult leader Charles Manson. The band's self-financed debut release "[[Take It Easy Chicken (Song)|Take It Easy Chicken]]" in September 1995 on their own "[[Sci-Fi Hi-Fi]] Recordings" label soon attracted the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJs [[Steve Lamacq]] and [[John Peel]] and the band found themselves, despite not having played a single gig and later admitting that they couldn't play together as a band very well at the time, at the centre of a record label bidding war.<ref>{{cite|url=http://www.discogs.com/Manson-Take-It-Easy-Chicken-/release/1378632 |title=Manson* - Take It Easy Chicken (Vinyl) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |dom=discogs.com |date=1995-09-25 |accessdate=2011-03-16}}</ref> This resulted in the band signing to [[Parlophone]], with whom they released the follow up single "[[Skin Up Pin Up (Song)|Skin Up Pin Up]] / [[Flourella (Song)|Flourella]]" in November 1995 on sublabel [[Regal Recordings]], although this time under the new moniker "Mansun" as they were forced to change the spelling due to threatened legal action from the Charles Manson Estate. The band gave several false accounts of this at the time, one being that they were named after [[The Verve]] b-side "A Man Called Sun",<ref>{{cite|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9424-legacy-the-best-of-mansun/ |title=Album Reviews: Mansun: Legacy: The Best of Mansun |publisher=Pitchfork |dom=pitchfork.com |date=2006-10-02 |accessdate=2011-03-16}}</ref> and that "Manson" was simply a spelling mistake which accidentally went through to production. It was later reported that Charles Manson had started spelling his name with a "u", to which Draper joked that they should sue him in return.<ref>{{cite|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20021019222906/mansun.net/cgi-bin/features/view.cgi?newsid=918882000,92353,Interviews |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2002-10-19 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref><br />
<br />
Following the release of "[[Skin Up Pin Up (Song)|Skin Up Pin Up]] / [[Flourella (Song)|Flourella]]", the band were moved up to the main Parlophone label and released several EPs, including an expanded re-release of the debut single. The first line-up of the band alongside Draper, King and Chad had featured former Grind drummer Carlton Hibbert and drum machine programmer [[Mark Swinnerton]]. Following 5 months of touring, starting with the band's first gig on the 17{{supo|th}} August 1995 at [[Gig:The Lomax, Liverpool, 17th August 1995|The Lomax in Liverpool]] and support gigs with [[Heavy Stereo]] and [[The Charlatans]], Swinnerton left the band in January 1996.<ref>{{cite|url=http://www.mansun.co.uk/navigation/ |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20010503011139/http://www.mansun.co.uk/navigation/ |archivedate=2001-05-03 |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2001-05-03 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref><br />
<br />
As a four piece, the band continued touring including support gigs with Cast, [[Audioweb]] and [[Shed Seven]] until Hibbert was sacked from the band in May 1996 following a series of rows with an inebriated Chad that resulted in a '''bizarre incident that involved a pineapple being thrown at Chad's face''' at the [[Gig:Cambridge Junction, Cambridge, 29th April 1996|Cambridge Junction]] gig, where the band were supporting Shed Seven.<ref name="archive3"/><ref>{{cite|url=http://www.rockfeedback.com/artist/273/mansun/ |title=Artist - Mansun |publisher=RockFeedback |date=2010-10-15 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=http://website.lineone.net/~mansun/articles/Fruit.html |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20020218130636/http://website.lineone.net/~mansun/articles/Fruit.html |archivedate=2002-02-18 |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=lineone.net |date=2002-02-18 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref> Throughout the early days of the band, Chad was involved in a string of violent alcohol fueled incidents. These included punching his own reflection in a hotel mirror, being thrown out of a pub after attempting to drop kick the bar, throwing pint glasses out of a window in Sheffield, getting himself banned along with the rest of the band from every outlet of the now defunct roadside restaurant chain Happy Eater, all Hard Rock Cafe's worldwide and every Holiday Inn hotel in the UK after drop kicking a statue of the Venus de Milo.<ref>{{cite|url=http://mansun.net/history/profiles/chad.html |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20021230020117/http://mansun.net/history/profiles/chad.html |archivedate=2002-12-30 |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2002-12-30 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref> Ex-[[Kinky Machine]] drummer [[Julian Fenton]] was temporarily drafted in for gigs and featured in the promo videos for "[[Take It Easy Chicken (Song)|Take It Easy Chicken]]" and "[[Stripper Vicar (Song)|Stripper Vicar]]".<br />
<br />
<br />
In August 1996 [[Andie Rathbone]] joined, a drummer from the Chester scene who had been playing with several bands including "[[DNA Cowboys]]",<ref>{{cite|url=http://adamthomaswalton.co.uk/index.php?this_blog=370 |title=Adam Walton's personal thoughts of little consequence |publisher=Adamthomaswalton.co.uk |dom=Adamthomaswalton.co.uk |date=2011-01-23 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref> "[[The Wandering Quatrains]]" and "[[Jonti]]". Having auditioning several drummers without success, the band took a break at a local pub where "there was the best rock drummer we'd ever seen, playing with this really dodgy band", but the drummer, who was also working as an Audi car salesman at the time, initially rejected the bands pleas to join the band, as he thought the band played "Britpop shite". He changed his mind after King played him a demo of one of the band's latest songs, "[[Wide Open Space (song)|Wide Open Space]]. Rathbone's first gig with the band was performing "Stripper Vicar" live on ''[[TFI Friday]]'', having missed the previous nights gig in [[Brighton]] due to getting the train to Bristol Temple Meads by mistake and having to check the gig guide in the [[NME]] to find out where the gig was.<ref>{{cite|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20021019224643/mansun.net/cgi-bin/features/view.cgi?newsid=875332800,10617,Interviews |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2002-10-19 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Breakthrough ==<br />
<br />
== Impending Collapse of it All ==<br />
During the fourth album recording sessions Stove left the band, leaving Paul, Dominic, and Andie working on the songs<br />
<br />
== Post Mansun ==<br />
<br />
The band went their separate ways with Paul and Chad staying in touch every now and again, apart from that not much is known as to what happened immediately after the split. Here is a summary of the main four members, check out the individual band member pages for detailed information.<br />
<br />
=== Dominic Chad ===<br />
Paul produced Dominic Chad's solo project penned 'Parrot'. It is not known if Dominic intends to release this Solo Project, or even if he is still playing Guitar. In 2015 a short film called was released and the soundtrack was credited to Dominic Chad, it was noticed by some fans and that a friend of Dominic's was credited in the film which tends to lend credibility that this was the one and only Dominic Chad who worked on the music for the film.<br />
<br />
It was rumoured that Dominic Chad was working or worked as an Ambulance driver, or in a care home.<br />
<br />
=== Paul Draper ===<br />
Paul has worked as a producer and engineer for several bands and artists over recent years including that of [[Menace Beach]], [[Skin]] - for more info see Paul Draper's page.<br />
<br />
He has been working for the past 3 years on a project with [[Catherine Anne Davies]] called [[The Anchoress]] where she has as of January 2016 released 3 EPs and her debut Album [[Confessions of a Romance Novelist (Album)|Confessions of a Romance Novelist]]. Together Paul and Catherine have worked on Paul's long awaited solo album [[Spooky Action at a Distance]] which is set to be released later in 2016.<br />
<br />
Paul has just very recently announced that he has had several tracks mastered for release later this year, it's not known if this will be on a Single or EP, it is rumoured to be released on the [[Too Pure]] Singles Club for their 100th release.<br />
<br />
=== Stove King ===<br />
Stove seems to have disappeared from music and has not been seen or heard of. It was rumoured that he was working at a Deeside car manufacturing plant, and that he had moved overseas.<br />
<br />
=== Andie Rathbone ===<br />
Andie disappeared from the limelight of the music world but had been working with other bands such as [[Seraphim]] - full list on his page. In 2014 he suffered a serious head injury and was in a come, but he has made a full recovery. He is still an avid car enthusiast and is known to work on restoring cars. He has been working again on his Rhythm Rehab project, a mobile drum tutor covering the North Wales/Chester area.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is unlikely that the last line-up of Mansun will ever reform the band, but one thing is for certain and that is a legion of Mansun fans would love to see this, and that various record labels would also be supportive of such a decision. Only love remains.<br />

<BR>The band were offered a publishing contract with Polygram Music Publishing four days after reluctantly handing over a demo tape of 4 songs that cost £150 to record featuring "[[Take It Easy Chicken (Song)|Take It Easy Chicken]]", "[[Skin Up Pin Up (Song)|Skin Up Pin Up]] / [[Flourella (Song)|Flourella]]", "[[Moronica (Song)|Moronica]]" and "[[She Makes My Nose Bleed (Song)|She Makes My Nose Bleed]]".<br />
<br />
== Early Years ==<br />
The band were initially called "Grey Lantern", after Draper's DC Comics influenced alter ego which he created to help overcome his nervousness on stage,<ref>{{cite|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20041029022750fw_/http://www.kuro.btinternet.co.uk/infocopy.html |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2004-10-29 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref> but soon changed their name to "Manson", after the cult leader Charles Manson. The band's self-financed debut release "[[Take It Easy Chicken (Song)|Take It Easy Chicken]]" in September 1995 on their own "[[Sci-Fi Hi-Fi]] Recordings" label soon attracted the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJs [[Steve Lamacq]] and [[John Peel]] and the band found themselves, despite not having played a single gig and later admitting that they couldn't play together as a band very well at the time, at the centre of a record label bidding war.<ref>{{cite|url=http://www.discogs.com/Manson-Take-It-Easy-Chicken-/release/1378632 |title=Manson* - Take It Easy Chicken (Vinyl) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |dom=discogs.com |date=1995-09-25 |accessdate=2011-03-16}}</ref> This resulted in the band signing to [[Parlophone]], with whom they released the follow up single "[[Skin Up Pin Up (Song)|Skin Up Pin Up]] / [[Flourella (Song)|Flourella]]" in November 1995 on sublabel [[Regal Recordings]], although this time under the new moniker "Mansun" as they were forced to change the spelling due to threatened legal action from the Charles Manson Estate. The band gave several false accounts of this at the time, one being that they were named after [[The Verve]] b-side "A Man Called Sun",<ref>{{cite|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9424-legacy-the-best-of-mansun/ |title=Album Reviews: Mansun: Legacy: The Best of Mansun |publisher=Pitchfork |dom=pitchfork.com |date=2006-10-02 |accessdate=2011-03-16}}</ref> and that "Manson" was simply a spelling mistake which accidentally went through to production. It was later reported that Charles Manson had started spelling his name with a "u", to which Draper joked that they should sue him in return.<ref>{{cite|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20021019222906/mansun.net/cgi-bin/features/view.cgi?newsid=918882000,92353,Interviews |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2002-10-19 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref><br />
<br />
Following the release of "[[Skin Up Pin Up (Song)|Skin Up Pin Up]] / [[Flourella (Song)|Flourella]]", the band were moved up to the main Parlophone label and released several EPs, including an expanded re-release of the debut single. The first line-up of the band alongside Draper, King and Chad had featured former Grind drummer Carlton Hibbert and drum machine programmer [[Mark Swinnerton]]. Following 5 months of touring, starting with the band's first gig on the 17{{supo|th}} August 1995 at [[Gig:The Lomax, Liverpool, 17th August 1995|The Lomax in Liverpool]] and support gigs with [[Heavy Stereo]] and [[The Charlatans]], Swinnerton left the band in January 1996.<ref>{{cite|url=http://www.mansun.co.uk/navigation/ |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20010503011139/http://www.mansun.co.uk/navigation/ |archivedate=2001-05-03 |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2001-05-03 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref><br />
<br />
As a four piece, the band continued touring including support gigs with Cast, [[Audioweb]] and [[Shed Seven]] until Hibbert was sacked from the band in May 1996 following a series of rows with an inebriated Chad that resulted in a '''bizarre incident that involved a pineapple being thrown at Chad's face''' at the [[Gig:Cambridge Junction, Cambridge, 29th April 1996|Cambridge Junction]] gig, where the band were supporting Shed Seven.<ref name="archive3"/><ref>{{cite|url=http://www.rockfeedback.com/artist/273/mansun/ |title=Artist - Mansun |publisher=RockFeedback |date=2010-10-15 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=http://website.lineone.net/~mansun/articles/Fruit.html |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20020218130636/http://website.lineone.net/~mansun/articles/Fruit.html |archivedate=2002-02-18 |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=lineone.net |date=2002-02-18 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref> Throughout the early days of the band, Chad was involved in a string of violent alcohol fueled incidents. These included punching his own reflection in a hotel mirror, being thrown out of a pub after attempting to drop kick the bar, throwing pint glasses out of a window in Sheffield, getting himself banned along with the rest of the band from every outlet of the now defunct roadside restaurant chain Happy Eater, all Hard Rock Cafe's worldwide and every Holiday Inn hotel in the UK after drop kicking a statue of the Venus de Milo.<ref>{{cite|url=http://mansun.net/history/profiles/chad.html |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20021230020117/http://mansun.net/history/profiles/chad.html |archivedate=2002-12-30 |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2002-12-30 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref> Ex-[[Kinky Machine]] drummer [[Julian Fenton]] was temporarily drafted in for gigs and featured in the promo videos for "[[Take It Easy Chicken (Song)|Take It Easy Chicken]]" and "[[Stripper Vicar (Song)|Stripper Vicar]]".<br />
<br />
<br />
In August 1996 [[Andie Rathbone]] joined, a drummer from the Chester scene who had been playing with several bands including "[[DNA Cowboys]]",<ref>{{cite|url=http://adamthomaswalton.co.uk/index.php?this_blog=370 |title=Adam Walton's personal thoughts of little consequence |publisher=Adamthomaswalton.co.uk |dom=Adamthomaswalton.co.uk |date=2011-01-23 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref> "[[The Wandering Quatrains]]" and "[[Jonti]]". Having auditioning several drummers without success, the band took a break at a local pub where "there was the best rock drummer we'd ever seen, playing with this really dodgy band", but the drummer, who was also working as an Audi car salesman at the time, initially rejected the bands pleas to join the band, as he thought the band played "Britpop shite". He changed his mind after King played him a demo of one of the band's latest songs, "[[Wide Open Space (song)|Wide Open Space]]. Rathbone's first gig with the band was performing "Stripper Vicar" live on ''[[TFI Friday]]'', having missed the previous nights gig in [[Brighton]] due to getting the train to Bristol Temple Meads by mistake and having to check the gig guide in the [[NME]] to find out where the gig was.<ref>{{cite|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20021019224643/mansun.net/cgi-bin/features/view.cgi?newsid=875332800,10617,Interviews |title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine |publisher=web.archive.org |dom=archive.org |date=2002-10-19 |accessdate=2012-04-15}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Breakthrough ==<br />
<br />
== Impending Collapse of it All ==<br />
During the fourth album recording sessions Stove left the band, leaving Paul, Dominic, and Andie working on the songs<br />
<br />
== Post Mansun ==<br />
<br />
The band went their separate ways with Paul and Chad staying in touch every now and again, apart from that not much is known as to what happened immediately after the split. Here is a summary of the main four members, check out the individual band member pages for detailed information.<br />
<br />
=== Dominic Chad ===<br />
Paul produced Dominic Chad's solo project penned 'Parrot'. It is not known if Dominic intends to release this Solo Project, or even if he is still playing Guitar. In 2015 a short film called was released and the soundtrack was credited to Dominic Chad, it was noticed by some fans and that a friend of Dominic's was credited in the film which tends to lend credibility that this was the one and only Dominic Chad who worked on the music for the film.<br />
<br />
It was rumoured that Dominic Chad was working or worked as an Ambulance driver, or in a care home.<br />
<br />
=== Paul Draper ===<br />
Paul has worked as a producer and engineer for several bands and artists over recent years including that of [[Menace Beach]], [[Skin]] - for more info see Paul Draper's page.<br />
<br />
He has been working for the past 3 years on a project with [[Catherine Anne Davies]] called [[The Anchoress]] where she has as of January 2016 released 3 EPs and her debut Album [[Confessions of a Romance Novelist (Album)|Confessions of a Romance Novelist]]. Together Paul and Catherine have worked on Paul's long awaited solo album [[Spooky Action at a Distance]] which is set to be released later in 2016.<br />
<br />
Paul has just very recently announced that he has had several tracks mastered for release later this year, it's not known if this will be on a Single or EP, it is rumoured to be released on the [[Too Pure]] Singles Club for their 100th release.<br />
<br />
=== Stove King ===<br />
Stove seems to have disappeared from music and has not been seen or heard of. It was rumoured that he was working at a Deeside car manufacturing plant, and that he had moved overseas.<br />
<br />
=== Andie Rathbone ===<br />
Andie disappeared from the limelight of the music world but had been working with other bands such as [[Seraphim]] - full list on his page. In 2014 he suffered a serious head injury and was in a come, but he has made a full recovery. He is still an avid car enthusiast and is known to work on restoring cars. He has been working again on his Rhythm Rehab project, a mobile drum tutor covering the North Wales/Chester area.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is unlikely that the last line-up of Mansun will ever reform the band, but one thing is for certain and that is a legion of Mansun fans would love to see this, and that various record labels would also be supportive of such a decision. Only love remains.<br />

Smile and I hope the rot,<br />

Not to her favour's pain,<br />

Go on, go on you're only obeying orders,<br />
Go on, go on you're only obeying orders,<br />

Milgram exposes all,<br />
But I'm not acting and you,<br />
Hold out even though,<br />
The road tonight is 29,<br />
And 29 equals gone,<br />

Go on, go on you're only obeying orders,<br />
Go on, go on you're only obeying orders,<br />

To be failed by a false heart,<br />

The grass starts to lift,<br />
You want your reward now you got it,<br />
Nothing deters a fool so go on,<br />
Go on, go on.<br />

== Concept ==<br />
'''Spooky Action At A Distance''' is the working title of [[Paul Draper|Paul Draper's]] debut solo album project which has its roots from when Paul travelled around Nashville and the southern states of the USA after Mansun had split.<br />
<br />
It was revealed around the Kleptomania era circa 2004 that Paul had these workings and was unsure if these songs would ever see the light of day, his album was to be recorded and released.<br />
<br />
In '''2015''' the working name of the album was revised and is now just called '''Spooky Action'''.<br />
=== Working Titles ===<br />
In 2008 Paul listed the work in progress titles of the songs to the then untitled solo album project<ref name="EarlySpookyWipTitles">{{Template:Cite/PDsoloProjectWIPtitles6Mar2008}}</ref>:<br />

== Buried ==<br />
<br />
Much to the disappointment of the many fans of Paul and Mansun who had waited years for this project to be released it was to be shelved. During the demo phase after Paul had returned from the USA he had become disillusioned with the music industry and after the turbulent implosion of Mansun he decided to pull the album. Around (approx) 2011 Paul removed himself from Social networking sites and took the decision to focus on his own career as a Studio Engineer and Producer. That seemed to be the final conclusion to the project.<br />
<br />
== Resurfacing of the Solo Project ==<br />
<br />
There is a facebook group called 'Mansuns Only Love Song' where thousands of fans still have Mansun at the centre of their world , around Sept 2013 (i think) when Paul made a reappearance on Twitter, and a joking comment was made about 3000 people wouldn't want to witness Pauls work (sources required).<br />
Through much discussion on the Facebook group a petition was created with the sole purpose of showing Paul that they would love to hear Paul's Solo Project work. After a few thousand people 'liked' the page as a sign of their support it was evident that a genuine heard of fans would support Paul. Paul listened carefully.<br />
<br />
== Studio & Staff ==<br />
<br />
* [[Paul Draper]] - Lyrics, Vocals, Guitars, Drum Machine programming, Studio Engineer, Producer<br />
* [[Catherine Anne Davies]] - Piano, Keys, Background Vocals, Lyrics<br />
* [[Ben Sink]] - Guitars<br />

<br />
<br />
== Recording ==<br />
<br />
The recording of the instruments for the album was completed on the 10{{supo|th}} August 2015 where Paul posted a picture on Instagram<ref>https://instagram.com/p/6NtATizJnj</ref> of him and the other musicians (''less [[Catherine Anne Davies]]'') who worked on the project on to Instagram [[File:PaulDraper1970Instagram10082015.jpg|50px]].<br />

== Concept ==<br />
'''Spooky Action At A Distance''' is the working title of [[Paul Draper|Paul Draper's]] debut solo album project which has its roots from when Paul travelled around Nashville and the southern states of the USA after Mansun had split.<br />
<br />
It was revealed around the Kleptomania era circa 2004 that Paul had these workings and was unsure if these songs would ever see the light of day, his album was to be recorded and released.<br />
<br />
=== Working Titles ===<br />
In 2008 Paul listed the work in progress titles of the songs to the then untitled solo album project<ref name="EarlySpookyWipTitles">{{Template:Cite/PDsoloProjectWIPtitles6Mar2008}}</ref>:<br />

Much to the disappointment of the many fans of Paul and Mansun who had waited years for this project to be released it was to be shelved. During the demo phase after Paul had returned from the USA he had become disillusioned with the music industry and after the turbulent implosion of Mansun he decided to pull the album. Around (approx) 2011 Paul removed himself from Social networking sites and took the decision to focus on his own career as a Studio Engineer and Producer. That seemed to be the final conclusion to the project.<br />
<br />
== Resurfacing of the Solo Project ==<br />
<br />
There is a facebook group called 'Mansuns Only Love Song' where thousands of fans still have Mansun at the centre of their world , around Sept 2013 (i think) when Paul made a reappearance on Twitter, and a joking comment was made about 3000 people wouldn't want to witness Pauls work (sources required).<br />
Through much discussion on the Facebook group a petition was created with the sole purpose of showing Paul that they would love to hear Paul's Solo Project work. After a few thousand people 'liked' the page as a sign of their support it was evident that a genuine heard of fans would support Paul. Paul listened carefully.<br />
<br />
== Studio & Staff ==<br />
<br />
* [[Paul Draper]] - Lyrics, Vocals, Guitars, Drum Machine programming, Studio Engineer, Producer<br />
* [[Catherine Anne Davies]] - Piano, Keys, Background Vocals, Lyrics<br />
* [[Ben Sink]] - Guitars<br />
* [[Ben Stack|Stax]] - Bass Guitar<br />
* [[Jon Barnett]] - Drums & Percussion<br />

* [[Scott Knapper]] - Studio Engineering @ [[The Kitchen]]<br />
* P Dub - Engineering / Mixing (''Engineered Attack of the Grey Lantern'')<br />
* [[Andy Lyth]] - Bongos ?<br />
<br />
In '''2015''' the name of the album was revised and is now just called '''Spooky Action'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Recording ==<br />
<br />
The recording of the instruments for the album was completed on the 10{{supo|th}} August 2015 where Paul posted a picture on Instagram<ref>https://instagram.com/p/6NtATizJnj</ref> of him and the other musicians (''less [[Catherine Anne Davies]]'') who worked on the project on to Instagram [[File:PaulDraper1970Instagram10082015.jpg|50px]].<br />

<br />
==Production==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Feeling My Heart Run Slow''' was initially recorded at [[Hugh Padgham]]'s now defunct [[Sofa Sound]] studios in London in early 2015. Studio personnel for the three day stint were [[Paul Draper]] (guitar and vocals), [[Ben Stack]] (bass), [[Jon Barnett]] (drums), [[Ben Sink]] (assistant engineer), [[Scott Knapper]] (engineer) and [[Suzi Meredith]] (filming and photographing the session for future releases).<br />
<br />
The main reason for the session was to get the live drum track down so Paul could then continue to work on the track in his production room at Sofa Sound, [[The Kitchen]]. Although all other instruments were re-recorded at a later date, certain elements such as the twangy guitar effects that Paul played while messing around during the session remained in the final version of the song.<br />
<br />
Feeling My Heart Run Slow was chosen by Paul to be played exclusively at the 2014 Mansun convention that was held in Chester on 23rd August. The track has since undergone a large transformation compared to the original version that was heard at the convention.<br />

'''''Attack of the Grey Lantern''''' is Mansun's debut album released in the UK on the 15{{supo|th}} February 1997 via [[Parlophone]] - it was released in Japan 9 days prior to the UK release.<BR>The album spent a total of 19 weeks on the [[UK Albums Chart]], peaking at number one.<ref name="chartstats">{{cite | title=Mansun at chartstats.com | url=http://www.chartstats.com/artistinfo.php?id=7722 | dom=chartstats.com |fetchdate=3 August 2009}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
According to the ''[[Kleptomania (Album)|Kleptomania]]'' liner notes, [[Paul Draper]] states that "[[Take It Easy Chicken (Song)|Take It Easy, Chicken]]" was their first song and the band really did not know how to play their instruments, let alone play as a band, when DJs [[Steve Lamacq]] and [[John Peel]] started to play the song on [[BBC Radio 1]]. Through 1996 and 1997, [[Mansun]] released "[[Egg Shaped Fred (Song)|Egg Shaped Fred]]" (which was re-recorded for the album to include new drummer [[Andie Rathbone]]), "[[Stripper Vicar (Song)|Stripper Vicar]]", "[[She Makes My Nose Bleed (Song)|She Makes My Nose Bleed]]" and "[[Taxloss (Song)|Taxloss]]" (styled Taxlo$$). "[[Wide Open Space (Song)|Wide Open Space]]" became a dance anthem after being remixed by DJ and producer [[Paul Oakenfold]] under the production alias Perfecto. This remix was included on Oakenfold's compilation ''[[Resident: Two Years of Oakenfold at Cream (Album)|Resident: Two Years of Oakenfold at Cream]]'', as an indicator of being one of the most played songs at major UK nightclub [[Cream]], as well as in nightclubs around the world, over the 1997-1999 period.<ref>{{cite | author = Birchmeier, Jason | year = | dom = Allmusic.com | title = Resident: Two Years of Oakenfold at Cream review | format = | work = | publisher = Allmusic | fetchdate = 2006-04-11 }}</ref><br />
<br />
"Taxloss" alludes melodically and lyrically to [[The Beatles]]' song "[[Taxman]]", and also to the rhythmic feel of "[[Tomorrow Never Knows]]", as well as "[[Long Haired Lover from Liverpool]]" by [[Little Jimmy Osmond]]. The video notoriously featured the band throwing £25,000 in five pound banknotes onto the main concourse of London's [[Liverpool Street Station|Liverpool Street station]] during rush hour and watching the ensuing chaos.<ref name="Natts"> {{Cite | title = Mansun | url = http://natts.com/mansun/mansun.html | dom = natts.com <sup>dead link</sup> | type=ext | fetchdate=August 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
"The Chad Who Loved Me"'s main theme comes from John Barry's 1967 song [[You Only Live Twice (song)|You Only Live Twice]] from the [[You Only Live Twice (film)|James Bond film of the same name]].<br />
<br />
==Concept album==<br />
[[Paul Draper]] admits that ''Attack of the Grey Lantern'' is not a fully fledged concept album, it was his intention for it to be one, until he "ran out of steam", labelling the LP "half a concept album – a con album".<ref name="Select Review"/> The majority of the record is centred on the concept of a superhero, known as "The Grey Lantern", in the guise of Draper himself. Throughout the album, the hero encounters a number of immoral inhabitants in a fictional [[England|English]] village.<ref name="Select Review"/><ref name="Guardian Review"/><br />
<br />
{{QuotesC<br />
|Well, The Grey Lantern is like a comic-book hero — the album is about this village of people with really disgusting morals and the Grey Lantern sorts them out. I suppose the Grey Lantern's me. I wouldn't have a cape, but there are definitely characters on the record — Albert Taxloss, Chad, Dark Mavis. At the end of the album it all gets resolved and you find Mavis is actually the Stripper Vicar.<ref name="Select Review"/><br />
|author=[[Paul Draper]]<br />
|source=Select Review<br />
}}<br />
<br />
At the time of release, Draper hinted at a possible album sequel, titled "The Return Of The Grey Lantern".<ref name="Select Review"/> For its American release, the album's running order was re-sequenced, a move which some felt compromised the intended concept, as the song "Stripper Vicar" was replaced with "Take It Easy, Chicken."<br />
<br />
==Recording==<br />
<br />
==Release==<br />
When ''Attack of the Grey Lantern'' was released in February 1997, it charted at #1 on the [[UK Albums Chart]].<ref name="chartstats"/> The album was preceded by four singles, the first of which "Egg Shaped Fred" was released a year prior. "Egg Shaped Fred" was Mansun's début single for Parlophone Records and made #37<ref name="chartstats"/> in the UK. The following three singles ("[[Stripper Vicar (Song)|Stripper Vicar]]", "[[Wide Open Space (Song)|Wide Open Space]]", "[[She Makes My Nose Bleed (Song)|She Makes My Nose Bleed]]") all made the top forty each improving of the previous singles' chart position. The final single released from the album was "Taxloss" which followed the album in April 1997 and made #15.<ref name="chartstats"/> In the US, Mansun enjoyed their only chart success with "Wide Open Space" reaching the modest position of #25 on the ''Billboard'' [[Modern Rock Tracks]] chart.<br />

'''Feeling My Heart Run Slow''' was initially recorded at [[Hugh Padgham]]'s now defunct [[Sofa Sound]] studios in London in early 2015. Studio personnel for the three day stint were [[Paul Draper]] (guitar and vocals), [[Ben Stack]] (bass), [[Jon Barnett]] (drums), [[Ben Sink]] (assistant engineer), [[Scott Knapper]] (engineer) and [[Suzi Meredith]] (filming and photographing the session for future releases).<br />
<br />
The main reason for the session was to get the live drum track down so Paul could then continue to work on the track in his production room at Sofa Sound, [[The Kitchen]]. Although all other instruments were re-recorded at a later date, certain elements such as the twangy guitar effects that Paul played while messing around during the session remained in the final version of the song.<br />
<br />
Feeling My Heart Run Slow was chosen by Paul to be played exclusively at the 2014 Mansun convention that was held in Chester on 23rd August. The track has since undergone a large transformation compared to the original version that was heard at the convention.<br />
