Hedgehog and Fraud
A unison riff workout with Jean-Paul's 'stream of consciousness' lyrics and some overdubs.
A raw cover of a Don Woody song by the original 'Mark One' H&F.
Jean-Paul's surrealist wordplay over a manic, no-holds-barred jam. Monster playing all round - another masterpiece!
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.
Jean-Paul's lyrics about a strange machine, set to a stinging guitar riff and a driving rhythm track.
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.
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).
Jean-Paul recounts his philosophy of music over a super-minimalist backing with shifting dynamics in place of harmonic variety ...... cool!
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).
A tribute to the great Sun God. Three minutes of multi-tracked vocal madness over driving bass and burning guitar.
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!
Punchy, minimalistic little groove with neat guitar and Jean-Paul's trademark vocal styling.
Grunge-tastic lament about a psycho-woman-from-hell, featuring Gary 'G-Man' Elsworth on drums.
