Thanks to the Offical Mission website for this update.

"It's been a while since we mentioned anything about the new Mission album so we thought we'd update you on how things are going!

The album itself has a working title of "Moist", which is subject to change of course, and the band have around 20 tracks in various stages of completion. Some of the titles to look out for are 'To Love And To Kill With The Very Same Hand', 'Headshrinker', 'Chinese Burn', 'Belladonna', 'God Is A Bullet', & 'Aquarius & Gemini'.

With so many tracks, obviously not all will appear on the album so there is much debate going on at the moment as to which songs will make it onto the finished article as there are so many strong contenders. Be assured though that any tracks left off thealbum will more than likely feature somewhere sometime....... Over the coming weeks the band will be in a recording studio in the UK putting the finishing touches to the basic recordings. Although we can't confirm at the time of writing, we do plan to have several special guests appearing on the album – some of which may be a (very pleasant) surprise to some of you.
Preceding that though, Wayne's solo tour around Europe will take place and we have it on good authority that Wayne may actually debut some of these songs at his shows. Once the recordings are completed in the UK the rest of the year will be taken up with final overdubs, mixing and mastering the album. At this time there is no fixed release date although we are hoping for early 2007.

We're all very excited about the new album – this is the first album to feature tracks where Wayne, Mark, Rich and Steve have all collaborated and, although the tracks retain the Mission "feel", they're something different again from previous albums. We've got more plans to reveal over time but for now .... spread the word and Keep the Faith.

P.S. Also one other thing we should mention is that in the September issue (on sale at the end of August) of the French alternative magazine, D-Side, there is a 4 page interview/feature with Wayne. And, with this issue, as with every issue of D-Side, there is a free CD. And on this particular CD is a new track written and recorded exclusively for this release by Wayne. It actually appears under the name of Wayne Hussey rather than The Mission, and this represents Wayne's first solo release, in name at least, since 1980. The song is called 'One Thing Leads To Another' and is a beauty......."
