Set The Alarm Bells Ringing Set The Alarm Bells Ringing
This will be the opener off my next album... Can't decide whether to call the album 'The Green Dome', or 'Rozinante', or 'Interview with Lazarus'... Suggestions?
Track 1: Don't Wait Around For Things To Change Track 1: Don't Wait Around For Things To Change
Quite like this one. Eerie. Note: not meaning to condone suicide!
Track 2: When Music Goes Horribly Wrong Track 2: When Music Goes Horribly Wrong
This took an exceedingly long time to do, as I couldnt seem to mix it right. It still isnt perfect but I think the song is strong enough to survive!
Track 3: Box Track 3: Box
Percussion errors galore, as have plagued so many of these songs! But this is a power-ballad of the highest order!
Track 4: Black Joke Track 4: Black Joke
This is unmixed, and has a horrific percussion error! But nevermind, it's one of my best lyrics to date, and sums up the whole album.
Track 5: If I Could Guilt You Into Being Mine Track 5: If I Could Guilt You Into Being Mine
This is unmixed!! This was supposed to be a tribute to the Afghan Whigs song 'Crazy', but it's come out sounding like Everclear! By far the poppiest thing I've ever done!
Track 6: As The Night Draws The Blind Track 6: As The Night Draws The Blind
This is an attempt to recreate the magic of FF7!! Enough said...
Track 7: Shoot Me Down Shoshana Track 7: Shoot Me Down Shoshana
This is the closest I'll ever get to writing an anthemic Oasis song! It's badly recorded, but I think it's one of my best ever vocals (double tracked though)...
Track 8: Slowly Fading Track 8: Slowly Fading
This song is unmixed, and will eventually have a fadeout! Hence the title.
Track 9: It's Over, It's Over, It's Over... Track 9: It's Over, It's Over, It's Over...
This is totally in need of mixing. The final version will be slower. It was hell to record, but finally its come out sort of okay. Percussion is out of time though!
Track 10: New Retrospection Track 10: New Retrospection
This is unmixed! I really like this one! It was the final song to be recorded - I wanted to sound like Death Cab for Cutie. TO some extent it worked!
Morning Sun Morning Sun
I really wanted this to be on the album, but it just didn't fit anywhere. Was going to have it as the last track, but then I recorded 'New Retrospection' which worked better...
A Lack Of Faith A Lack Of Faith
Bit of a ramshackle vocal track, but it sounds okay... Won't be on the album, because it doesn't fit, and frankly, I've recorded better stuff! But it's still okay, or it wouldn't be up here!
Little Girl Haze Little Girl Haze
Not the strongest out of the lot, but the lyrics are quite good... I possibly overdid the special effects! It isn't good enough to make the album though.
