Scenes of Mild Peril


Scenes of Mild Peril – The Scaramanga Six Live in Session 2013–2014 is a compilation album/DVD by English rock band The Scaramanga Six. It is the band’s second sessions album, following 2008’s Hot Flesh Rumble.

Background

The tracks on the album were recorded in two sessions – the first at The Lodge, Bridlington on January 12, 2013 and the second in Brixton Hill Studios, London, on April 26, 2014. The Brixton session featured the standard Scaramanga quartet of the Morricone brothers, Julia Arnez and Gareth Champion, while the earlier Bridlington session featured the six-piece lineup which recorded 2013’s Phantom Head album and which added Stephen Gilchrist on second drumkit and James Kenosha on piano. Both Kenosha and Gilchrist were also involved in production, with Kenosha recording and mixing the Bridlington session and Gilchrist recording the Brixton session.
The DVD contains full audio-visual footage of the songs from the two sessions, while the CD only contains the soundtrack recording.
The album features four new songs - "Arabella", "The Man Who Couldn't Sing", "The Cakey Song" and "Pulling Teeth from a Phantom Head".
