Spooky Action At A Distance
Contents
Origins
- 'Spooky Action'.. is the name of Paul Draper's solo album which has its roots from when Paul travelled around Nashville and the southern states of the USA towards.
- The name comes from a theory of Einstein, its inspiration came about because of how Paul felt at the time witnessing Mansun and his world around him fall apart and how he felt distant from everything happening at that time.. (needs clarification on sources)
It was revealed around the Kleptomania days that Paul had these workings and was unsure if these songs would ever see the light of day.
Buried
Much to the disappointment of the many fans of Paul and Mansun this project was what appeared to be shelved, and around 2011 (i cannot remember) Paul removed himself from Social networking sites and took the decision to focus on his own career as a Studio Engineer and Producer.
Resurfacing of the Solo Project
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). 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.
