Recital Recital

song we did with deliberate aim of writing in the style of Rog Waters (rock god hero to both of us, maybe not so much Rick, you'd have to ask him!)

Houses in Motion Houses in Motion

cover of the 1980 track featured on the seminal Heads Lp 'Remain in Light' - this watershed album which had African influences and themes running through it seemed to have got Paul Simon thinking...

new mix which sees both of us as Beatle tragics hanging onto every lyric, note and sound that could be debated ad infinitum on those great nights we'd (Jen, myself and Bruce) record at Bruce's studio.

suggested to our good friend David to do a version of this classic and man, did he deliver - check it out - he made it his own and it's a stunningly creative cover - we went with a colour by numbers approach :)

#8 in Alt Power Pop

think back to when Gary Numan first wrote this classic in '79 and then got chance to be onstage with NIN and have crowd go bananas to the frenetic drums and swirling synths and if we don't think we've lost something special than we're crazy...and if we think that time or folks like him are coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools... the two page photos are of North Stradbroke Island, Moreton Bay, Qld and Scott’s Road, Singapore Rock 'n' Roll can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll..
