I Trawl The Megahertz

'I Trawl the Megahertz' was originally released as a solo record by Paddy McAloon in 2003, conceived and recorded after he was diagnosed with a medical condition that seriously affected his vision. Not surprisingly, the album is a testament to the healing power of music. It is comprised of nine compositions: the lengthy 22-minute title track, a series of shorter instrumental pieces and a couple of songs originally intended to accompany a short film. Though the record was originally released as a solo album, it seemed fitting to re-classify it as a Prefab Sprout project.
