Eighteen Summers Eighteen Summers
Dredged from oblivion is this paean to awkward late-teen angst.Not autobiographical, as I was ALWAYS cool,suave and in command (!) Hmmmmm......
Dreamed About Falling Dreamed About Falling
Revolver-esque final track for a while, folks. Hope you enjoy it, and the others, too. it's been a pleasure.
Wishaway Wishaway
Bit of a magnum opiate, this track...five years of remaking for my attempt at 'Smile' era vibrations.A distillation of Junior school summery first-love palpitations.
Solar Handshake Solar Handshake
An explosion of influences...'Artificial Energy' brass, unconcious ' Sour Milk Sea' melody, Xtc's 'Grass' chord changes. An amalgam of mercurial gold, spinning around the galaxies.PS sorry for lousy fade edit.
Come To Me Come To Me
The greatest record Oasis never wanted, words courtesy of the irrepressible Steve 'Gad' Guy,sometime partner in crime. A tinge of 'Rain', a dash of open G, a veritable scion of '66.
Behind The Void Behind The Void
An Inspiral Turtles Baggyfest, dredged from yer actual Nineties Madchester vibe, complete with computer drums and echo-delay. Thanks again to Gad for co-write credit. Shoulda been massive.Nice JTQ Hammond, Jim. ( Thanks, mate)
Insomnia Insomnia
Couldn't sleep, so to the batcave and PC we go.Cubase ready, and....all kinds of influences sneak in here - OMD motif on Mellotron flute,panned reversed guitars,booming toms, top of the neck bass.Brain buds working overtime.
This Day This Day
Tambour,compressed and limited bass,even a clavioline....how more psych do yer want, missus? Now, where's me mellotron......
Waiting For Tomorrow Waiting For Tomorrow
Strap on overdrive, hammond a la Jay Darlington,stick in a bit of Zep and we're alright.We've got a Wavelab and we're gonna use it!
You Don't Know Me You Don't Know Me
Does what it says on the tin.Guitar solo winged, you can probably tell.Who is this masked marauder? Answers on the back of a cheque, please.
Chained and Bound Chained and Bound
About time for a slower ballad, so here goes...not a song,incidentally about bondage but merely the invisble ties around our hearts, ever being strained. You know what I mean.
She's Burning She's Burning
Baba - Oh really, intro to this pyromanically fuzz-toned jaunt.Drums actually played live by yours truly, honest. Let's rock....
Elusive Butterfly Elusive Butterfly
Attempted Nick Drake-esque string bends, Man In A Shed type thing.E majortastic.Listen freely, for the deaf hear.
I Need You Too Much I Need You Too Much
Found a snare roll sample for this one. Tried to achieve a 'Got to get you into my life/ Baby Driver' vibe.Successful? Well....
There and back again There and back again
First expedition into psychedelia...any song with Dr. Winston O'Boogie AND Fluff Freeman can't be bad, can it? Shades of 25 O'Clock, too, pop pickers
