In 2008, instead of doing the by-now twice traditional yearly x-mas release that started two years ago with the "Again" covers album, followed by the success of "A Reckoning..." last year (which went on to achieve a wider release worldwide via Finetunes Digital and the physical third pressing via Kunaki), this year Neil Leyton presents "Metacognitive Apperceptions". Described as a New Year's, rather than X-mas, album, it opens the door to more positive thematic muses than the dark explorations on 'A Reckoning'. Leyton also continues work on his next wide-release album, Elite Nylon, scheduled for the Spring of 2009 (more info coming soon at www.neilleyton.com). Meanwhile, Metacognitive Apperceptions is to be released on a Kunaki-manufactured CD shipping in a traditional jewel case. Sonically, this is largely an electric release, a 10-song collection of all new material consisting mostly of 4-piece band style tracks, with Leyton playing all bass, guitars and vocals as well as producing the effort.
