A song about robot culture taking over the world and stealing our souls

The Androids

Big Foot Stumbles

Experimental song influenced by Celtic and Viking history.
At this time of year the winter being dark and long this is a song about fire festivals, pagan guisers and the passing of souls, the death of winter. The trees are at war with humans due to the chopping down of wood for heat light and funeral pyres.

Battle Of The Trees

Chrystal Glass

Multi layered experimental track with lots going on. Not much rhyme or reason to what Im saying just recorded vocals live and improvised

All For Nothing

I tried to build a track that had elements of my favourite music in it. The Orb, Killing Joke, P.i.L, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Pink Floyd, Chemical Brothers and The Everly Brothers. Revolution Number 9
 I mean come on. Any hoo the noo that was a good 8 hrs today.

Good News Makes No Sense

eventually these tracks are being taken to studio 57 in Dundee to properly record and mix other instruments on. My recording set up here is basic so apologies for quality.

Thats All It Took

Pick Me Up

I always liked bands who wrote great tunes and then had an obscure B side that was nothing like the rest of their material thats what im trying to do here.

Part Of This World

Motownish, back beat schmoltz, with attempts at guitar, ha! ha! We had a 4 hour window and we produced this 2.30 min track in that slot.  Drums sounded massive being recorded in the hall.

One True Love

Honey Bunny was in Pulp Fiction, as was her gun and thats what I love asbout her in the movie totally psychotic female charm.

Honey Bunny's Gun

influenced by a combination of syd barrett's pink floyd, fleet foxes and the velvet underground. 

Followed A Golden Thread

Wanted an upbeat straight rock n roll track no frills, plenty of feedback and percussion.

Time To Go

Found some guitar riffs on an old 4 track demo and added lyrics and vocals, REM influence here I think, LOL. 

The Jeopardy

acoustic ditty one guitar / one voice/ recorded into laptop, but you can totally hear the fan churning away in the recording lol.

kitchen window

Accoustic four track recording bounced a bit too much but hope you like.

northern star

You make it good, you make it simple

A jaunty wee number to help make you think about an open top drive through the 
smelly country air, lol...

Home For A While

Paying The Price (painted black)

Basic Pop, I once did have a silver photograph fram with a lovely picture in it but after a while it had to be ripped up as you do. Life eh!! whats wrong wi us all.

Silver Photograph Frame

Track about Gulf War and Killing for millions. Although I am not against the fighters, they join up, most of the time, to escape Scottish towns and cities full of Unemployment but it is against
the top brass and governmental authorities that use US i.e you and me for their financial and political gain.

The Otherside (skinny j)

4 track recording - Don't Live Life Like The Others

Lara Nyro inspired this originally the name was a real person but I didn't want to sound like a stalker or something still banging on about it. lol.xx
