A Rock cover of Erasure's iconic song 'Love to Hate You'.
I absolutely loved and was totally enamoured with the music of Vince Clarke, and Andy Bell's majestic vocal performances in my early years. I also hugely enjoy the nods, and easter-eggs they put into their songs; showing how their influences. I absolutely do not do it justice. In honour of their anthem's adoption into the community; any money made from sales or streams of this track, will be donated to help LGBTQ+ causes and their communities.

lyrics
I'm crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere?
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

For every Casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

Oh you really still expect me to believe
Every single letter I receive
Sorry you what a shameful situation
Sending shivers up and down my spine

I like to read murder mystery
I like to know the killer isn't me
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers make me quiver
Feel it slither up and down my spine

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

Love To Hate You (Erasure Cover)

This track took a very long time to become what it is today. An anthem of friendship and standing for what is right. Everything that blue blur of a hedgehog we all love.

lyrics
You bring rain, thunder and lightning.
When will you tire of all this fighting?
You bring wrath, how long can it last?
How many times have we walked this path?

Though these are dark times that we're facing, now;
Need to find a way, think I might know how.
Gotta' keep moving, Gotta' keep on track.
Hope it's not too late to get our home back.

In the darkest hour, we can make this right.
With an open heart I can see the light.
World of pure chaos made of all your schemes,
while the darkness hides infernal machines.

All my friends are here, while you walk alone.
We want progress, you just want control.
United we stand, on each other, depend.
Your hunger for power, will it never end?

Running over green hills. Going just as fast as we can.
Don't care about your arms race. Things wont go the way that you plan.
Live a life like you're on TV. When you gonna' come down and land.
Capture life with your hands? Come on, catch me if you feel like you can.

Why do you make machines to attack?
Take aim at me i'll just send them back.
What will you gain causing all this harm?
Hope you'll find fame but you've gone too far.

I am no hero and I don't want to fight, But
I'll stand with my friends, and we'll put this right.
Nothing you can raise, nor armies you can send,
Will bring you victory. Now this has to end.

[When will you land?] Goin' just as fast as we can.
[Catch me if you can] Things wont go the way that you plan.

Running over green hills. Going just as fast as we can.
Don't care about your arms race. Things wont go the way that you plan.
Live a life like you're on TV. When you gonna' come down and land.
Capture life with your hands? Come on, catch me if you feel like you can.

A track written long ago in the fires of the mid-2000s, and repeatedly forgotten about until it was too late to publish for Halloween every... single... year...

Except THIS YEAR!

Happy Halloween

Created for three single-voice synthesizer, and one single-voice noise channel sound chip. The voices are modified by a separate modulator wave, which could be disabled to demonstrate that each track is, indeed, four single voice sound generators.

Each track has a different Inspiration, but the creation method is exactly the same.

As with most of my music I start from one musical Idea, Riff or Pattern, and build from it to create many intricate parts to compliment each other. About halfway through composition I felt like it was really beautiful, but would be more interesting to make it really ugly all of a sudden. The Innocent transmitting of good feeling being distorted and picked up by machines light years away.

lyrics
Calling out,
Into the universe.
Calling out,
Like/Yet we're never heard.
Calling out...

Into The Universe

The overarching idea of this track was accessing the sheer joy and excitement, regarding the advancement of home audio electronics in the 70s through to the 90s. The whole process of discovery through traditional media, doing research, saving money, and ultimately purchasing a coveted piece of hifi equipment.
lyrics

Well the sun comes up In society town.
Early in the morning there's nobody around
My feet are on a mission, there's rumours around, at the
Music store there's a deal to be found.

They're getting new stuff that's arriving today;
Been saving all my money and I just got paid.
You 'aint heard nothin', 'it was built to amaze'.
'This HiFi's quality will blow you away'.

Now I'm pacing at the door.
Tryin'a get a look in through the window.
Thought i'd heard the best before
Of course that wasn't true, what do I know?

She caught my eye on the TV
Guy was taking off in his freaking seat
Answering my prayers on the flickering screen, this
HiFi Society is calling to me.

Store clerk's turning the freaking key
Like they opened just for me
Taking off my shades I can hardly see
But there she is looking pretty,

....VUs made of LEDs
....Turntable spinning 33s
High-speed dubbing on your CCs
My man! You gotta get me one of these!

Hifi Society will set you free,
There's room for every one
Hifi Reality for you and me
As we sail in to the sun.

I just walked in through my door.
Boxes' all over the lounge floor.
Urge inside to open 'em all.
Oh wait, I gotta find the manual.

As I fall into my seat, she's
Pride of place beside my TV.
Answer to my prayers now in front of me
This HiFi Society... Is freaking sweet.

There she is looking pretty,
....VUs flashing LEDs
....Turntable spinning 33s
High-speed dubbing on my CCs

Stereo sound I can't believe
Even less it belongs to me
Drop that stylus and now I see
This HiFi Society's the life for me!

HiFi Society

A collaborative cover of a JuneBug original track "Sweet Mellow Water". Going back to the 90s with a summer anthem vibe and some good feels energy.

Sweet Mellow Water (JuneBug)

A Pop Punk Cover of JuneBug's Original song.

I’ve got to brace myself.
I’ve got to take it as it comes.
Or, I could be myself,
And I could kick it to the slums.
But winter tastes so good.
The Bitter cold freezes my heart.
I’ve got to brace myself.
I’ve got to take it from the,Start.

You’re the one
Where you going
Where you been
My cathode sun

Why be so negative?
Just find the anode in your soul.
And make some room for it,
‘Cause it’s got nowhere else to go.
Why must you be so hard,
When everything passes you by?
I’ve got to be myself.
I’ve got to find a little, time

{chorus}

That cathode sun can be so friendly,
And it can guide you in the dark.
All of the pictures that you send me,
Can fix me when I fall apart.

Cathode Sun

I started out with this one as just something in my head I kept hearing. As I started to work on it, I thought it would be quite interesting to repeat the part as I developed it from idea to composition. I had cognitive difficulties due to  seizures and skill regression back in 2021. So I guess it's some music from my soul, teaching my earthly body how to create all over again.

Classica

An EP-sized jaunt into exploratory musical arrangement. Composed around the age of 16, these pieces were from the beginning of my musical journey. Later I would go on to fuse many different genres; but this Euro-Electro-Orchestral-Industrial EP was pretty much where it all started.

What Lies Ahead?

'Dance of the Damned' is a progression of a previous idea, fully realised in String Quartet form. This single also includes two electronic bonus tracks. The first is a chill orchestral-industrial remix, and the second is a retro Impulse Tracker version.
