Hedgehog and Fraud
Echo From The Past Echo From The Past
A unison riff workout with Jean-Paul's 'stream of consciousness' lyrics and some overdubs.
You're Barking Up the Wrong Tree You're Barking Up the Wrong Tree
A raw cover of a Don Woody song by the original 'Mark One' H&F.
Warrior On A Chessboard Warrior On A Chessboard
Jean-Paul's surrealist wordplay over a manic, no-holds-barred jam. Monster playing all round - another masterpiece!
Let's Build An Extraterrestrial Being Let's Build An Extraterrestrial Being
Jean-Paul decides to get in on the UFO/ET scene by constructing his own mutant lifeform and space rocket from a variety of source material including (gulp) stored human carcasses.
Mechanism Wheelspinner Device Mechanism Wheelspinner Device
Jean-Paul's lyrics about a strange machine, set to a stinging guitar riff and a driving rhythm track.
Brian The Mechanical Fly Brian The Mechanical Fly
Synthesizer solo that just sort of happened during a rehearsal room jam. I love the sensitivity of all the playing and the dynamics of this performance.
Which Way To The Chip Shop? Which Way To The Chip Shop?
A story about being stoned on the streets of Upminster and trying to get one's bearings (Roomes, the local department store gets a mention because it's a distinctive landmark).
Music Is Can Music Is Can
Jean-Paul recounts his philosophy of music over a super-minimalist backing with shifting dynamics in place of harmonic variety ...... cool!
House On The Corner House On The Corner
Quirky drums, bass and guitar driving the tale of a 'den of iniquity' where dodgy things may or may not occur (in the minds of the other local home-owners).
Hey, Mister Loner Bulb! Hey, Mister Loner Bulb!
A tribute to the great Sun God. Three minutes of multi-tracked vocal madness over driving bass and burning guitar.
Touch The Trees Touch The Trees
An audio rocket-ride into the hippy, trippy world of Jean-Paul Hedgehog powered by the grungy, psychedelic guitar and bass of Edwin Fraud with the thundering drums of Gary G-Man Elsworth. Peace, love, production-effects - it's all here!
Telling The Truth Telling The Truth
Punchy, minimalistic little groove with neat guitar and Jean-Paul's trademark vocal styling.
My Baby Loves Me With An Axe My Baby Loves Me With An Axe
Grunge-tastic lament about a psycho-woman-from-hell, featuring Gary 'G-Man' Elsworth on drums.
