this piece of music is the sound track to a monologue of a clearly unhinged person that we recorded in the studio. the fact that it was night time, a full moon and she was dressed in a white robe, made us all rather nervous. that aside, we were pleased with the results. sometimes you have to put yourself in an uncomfortable place to create. support was offered and given by bill laurence on piano, al mcsween on clavinet, chris dawkins on guitar, neil innes bass, joost hendrickxs on drum trap, simon nixon on multiple horns, tony birkhill on flute, choir members fuzzy jones, rachel modest and chris dawkins. the woman who supplied the monologue has not been seen since. 

LuNaRtICs

love can often turn into obsession, sometimes more quickly than expected and sometimes without the knowledge that you are being obsessed over. here we explore the darker more private side of love. we all have it in us. the ata team have been joined by al mcsween on a 120 year old beckstein grand piano, joost hendrickxs, chris dawkin on guitar, rob mitchell on bari sax, miss modest playing tambourine in such a way that only a church upbringing and an adult soul infatuation can generate, pete williams on congas. bringing back the barber shop quartet are the soul vocal trio of john mccallum, jam sponge and chris dawkin.

this is a demo of one of our more whimsical offerings. 

Lonely safari- love of the brave

an early tune from the vaults of ata studios writting team neil innes and fuzzy jones depicting the creeping anaesthetic of the modern world which is numbing us all. this piece features the usual ata studio suspects... fuzzy jones, neil innes and joost hendrickxs. synthetic keyboards and transistor organ have been operated by the mighty bob birch who can often be heard evoking the sound of thunder throughout. we also lucky to have some barisax which was visited upon us by rob mitchell. for a man of average height we can all hear that he has very large feet.   

Anaesthetise Me

this song is about an ongoing journey to love/lust enabled by the fine public transport system of leeds, west yorkshire. written by ata studios writing team neil innes and fuzzy jones. featuring vocalist's fuzzy jones and miss modest, piano virtuoso bill laurence, joost hendrickxs driving the drum set, 60's semi acoustic sponge bass neil innes, hand to conga co-ordination pete williams and flute by jazz giant tony birkhill.
