Richard Norris a terminat lucrul la albumul sau de debut The Time & Space Machine.
In ultimii ani l-am vazut pe Richard impreuna cu Erol Alkan in proiectul Beyond The Wizards Sleeve, lucrand pentru propriul lor brand si facand remix-uri pentru The Chemical Brothers, Midlake, Tracey Thorn si Franz Ferdinand. Re-animations Vol. 1 din 2009 a marcat sfarsitul capitolului pentru acest duo si de atunci, Richard s-a concentrat pe productiile solo.
Albumul va fi lansat in martie 2010.

Iata ce a declarat Richard Norris despre fiecare track de pe album:
- Time and Space. “I wanted an opener that went from an atmospheric place to a real lift off into space.”
- Path Through The Cathedral. “My favorite track at the moment, with ringing Cathedral organ, tremelo-ed fuzz tone and backwards guitars.”
- Set Phazer To Stun. “The first hint of a Krautrock influence here, alongside some dirt cheap Farfisa organ and Will’s freakbeat drumming. And some Phazer.”
- You Are The One. “Layed vocals singing in the round, with more fine beat freak moments from Will.”
- Children Of The Sun. “Apparently, according to some blogs, this is ‘Chillwave’… maybe so, although I had no idea what Chillwave was when I made it. I just wanted to write a breezy, hazy, uplifting summer record with a hint of liquid sunshine.”
- Zeitghost. “More motorik freakbeat, the kind of track I like djing with as it’s a right chugger.”
- Infinite. “A twitchy guitar manta”
- More Cowbell. “Probably the most obviously dancefloor track on the album, with fuzzed out bass and the sound of a cowbell that sounds like it’s still attached to the cow on some hill in Switzerland. Influenced by the famous Saturday Night Live ‘More Cowbell’ sketch with Christopher Walken.”
- Midsummer Night. “The words came to me on midsummer night, the day before my birthday, at four in the morning looking into a glowing campfire in a field in the Sussex downs.”
- Mushroom Family. “A more Balearic influence here with a hint of sitar and flute, plus Rachael Davies’ soaring harmonies.”
- After The Gold Rush. “This Neil Young cover features Raissa from The Mummers on vocals, some Memphis Horns and a hint of balearia once again.”
