Tom (https://soundcloud.com/tom-2020) and I now present track 2 in our collaborative album in progress "La belle et le loup, ou Les loups du Gévaudan" (2023), or in English translation "Beauty and the Beast, or The Wolves of Gevaudan").

The song was created in collaboration on 4 October 2023 (initial composition, recording, arrangement and mix in MAGIX by Tom), 10 October 2023 (additional instruments, melodies and sound effects, recording and arrangement in GarageBand and Logic Pro, with an intermediate mix in Logic Pro by Alex M), and 11 October 2023 (final additions, arrangements and mix in MAGIX by Tom), and posted here on SoundCloud on 13 October 2023 (by Alex M). We are grateful for the use of vocal samples from the package "Magix Trance - The Vocal Trance" purchased and integrated into the music by Tom.

La belle et le loup, ou Les loups du Gévaudan 2 - Tom & Alex M

It's A Long Way 140 BPM

I wrote this for a songwriting challenge. The theme was ‘Perspectives’. It’s based on the Simon and Garfunkel song ‘Wednesday Morning 3 A.M’. It’s written as the young girl who is sleeping in bed while her young lover is about to run after committing a crime. I’ve imagined her life recovering from the shock of him leaving and abandoning her, and how she lived her life in public service.  It’s a demo and I’ve tried to have that 60’s folk rock feel. It’s good to try different things I think. See what you think!  James.  Best with headphones! 
Lyrics 
At 3 A.M. 

30 years have passed, and the hurt still really stings
That feeling of abandonment, and the anxiety it brings 
You running from your crime, the poor decisions that you made
An empty bed, my broken heart, and the rent still to be paid 

I remember scraping ice from the inside of the window 
to see you on the street but it was just the New York snow 
And you were long gone 

At 3 am, as you lay there awake 
You made the wrong choices
And didn’t think of me 
At 3 am, you were weak and unthinking 
When you ran away and deserted me 

Soon I was homeless, I was lost and confused 
my friends all supported me, in a situation I didn’t choose
I left New York, went to night school, became a teacher and spent my time 
Helping kids and their communities to avoid a life of crime 

A few years back I heard that you were in and out of jail
You’d tried to go straight but in the end you always failed
It’s so sad 

At 3 am, as you lay there awake 
You made the wrong choices
And didn’t think of me 
At 3 am, you were weak and unthinking 
When you ran away and deserted me 
When you ran away and deserted me

You broke my heart
You broke it bad 

Better (better) without you 
Driven by what you did
Repeat ….

A chill and spacey percussion heavy trance track. Took me 3 hours to mix right. It is very relaxing.

Mind Drifting

Round the Twist is a dark, acid-infused techno trip, twisted, hypnotic, and designed to disorient. At 135 BPM, it spirals through psy-inspired textures and pulsing acid lines, creating a tense yet irresistible momentum. The track plays with perception, dragging the listener into a vortex where raw energy meets controlled chaos. It's techno at its most warped and most intentional.
