After many a ‘heated debate’ between the fantastic Lola Demo and I, we finally got the track we both wanted without shedding  too many tears. I must have gone through a whole box of tissues.
The trials and tribulations were many - Erika’s laptop broke before we even began and I soon learned that a small Greek island isn’t the place for speedy repairs. My Mac then died on me - unsurprising after the beatings I give it. Then we had a few ‘issues’ about the subject matter and my gory artwork (which I’ve since altered in the light of current horrors). Then I wanted to enlist the astounding skills of the (surely) extra-dextered Darren Chilton, much like Eddie Van Halen on Michael Jackson’s Beat It. Turns out he also had no computer (Darren, not Jacko) so we had to liaise via internet cafés in Tokyo. Darren's only brief was to 'make it as fucked up as possible'. Eventually a truly global song was born (Tokyo, Ithaca, Wakefield). 
I’d also like to say that, once computers were revived, Erika and Darren were so quick to provide their stellar contributions, whereas I laboured faaar too long over the mix, which eventually Erika mastered superbly over at Ithaca Manor.
Anyway, here’s the result. I hope you like it. Loved working with them both. Please listen to their music, you won't be disappointed.

Produced by TIJ 
Mastered by Lola Demo

lyrics by Bach & Snaith July 2014 and we did bleed through them.
BLEED THROUGH 
Halaal! Hallal! You’re bleeding me dry… 
You cannot tell me what I need - what I should want from my life. 
There is no cure for what I feel. No medication to make it right. 
It’s not easy shaking off the damage. 

'Undead Girl Walking'. Halaal! Halaal! You’re bleeding me dry. Hanging on a hook. It's a struggle but you’re good and stuck. Guess you’d be out of luck if you weren’t up so high. 

Bleed through. I know you want to. 

Already dead. I’m already dead. Already bleeding from the back of my head. You’re so wrong. This is genocide. Doesn’t it make you want to cry. Already dead. 

Undead Girl Walking. Halaal! Halaal!  You’re bleeding me dry. I’m hanging on a hook. I struggle but I’m good and stuck. Guess I’d be out of luck if I didn’t feel so high. 

Bleed through. I know you want to. 

Halaal! Halaal! Halaal!
Goodbye.

released 22 August 2014

I've had the very good fortune and honour to associate my own music here on SC with some truly astounding  and generous graphic & surrealist artists: Smiler Street Art (London) https://www.facebook.com/smilerstreetart/, Eric Lacombe (France) http://www.ericlacombe.com/home.php, Belgian surrealists Mothmeister https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/mothmeister. Please do look at their work, you won't be disappointed. Stay here and listen a while first though.
I'm also finding other amazing stuff here on Soundcloud that I would have never heard elsewhere, a few of them I've had the pleasure to collaborate with.: Heidi Harris, Konokunok, Narcisse Noyé, Dolll, Richard Devine, Joaquin Mendoza, Vasco Morais, Keldari Station, Musicaserj, & Cathrinta, Luciole Langevine, Renaud Deback, Lola Demo, Anda Volley, Ang Kerfoot, Dana Dau, Chris Pendergraft, Faerytale and many more. I could go on (and usually do). Check them out, you won't hear their like in many other places. 
Also look out for my playlists here on Soundcloud which feature other artists: 'Favourites From The Cloud', 'Soundscapes'  and 'The Siren, She Sings' (which also has a blog). You may even be in one of them.

Thanks to Isaac for my (full) name. Check out his eerie upload, https://soundcloud.com/aminimalvirus/inconsistent-jukebox. Genius. It crept up on me late one night (one of those tracks that you didn't select but came on in someone else's stream) and I genuinely thought I was going mental. When you hear it you'll see what I mean.
