This is a fine interpretation of this dark gem. Making me dig out my copy of Quiet Life... Sometimes we all need a dose of melancholy. Much appreciated Stewart and Kevin.

Ah! Must dig out my "Quiet Life". KF's vox!!!  Love it!

Nice to hear a Sylvian cover you do it so well. Secrets of the Behive is a fav of mine. Cool stuff Stewart!

Malevolent Energy

The Overdriver

Sunday morning and the minstrel plays his uplifting music for the villagers. A happy soul, or so it would seem, jauntily dancing and playing for the people. As they all filter into the church for the Sunday service, the minstrel sadly reflects on his life, and the mask drops for a short while.....until the villagers emerge. Once more, he cavorts and plays for the people - nobody could guess what lies beneath the mask he wears ♥

Shout out to https://soundcloud.com/alabafruit for the original melody

How Fare Ye, Minstrel?

This is an old track taken off one of Japans best albums, "Quiet Life" It remains one of my personal favourites.

Despair

The Tempus Collective - "Despair" (Sylvian)

I'm absolutely in LOVE with Mongolia. Everything from their nomadic culture, to astounding history, to their Buddhist practices, AND their musical stylings!!!! I couldn't think of a better way to close out the school year than to play with the Mongolian sample pack that was just released!!!

Following the popularity of my recording of "Martynne And Hys Manne", I present a (more recent origin) traditional song, performed a capella.

My theory is that "Young Banker" is a man who digs canals for a living.

The Tempus Collective are : 
Kevin Fleming - writing, vocals & keys
Stewart Grieve (Solo Greebo) - writing, keys and production

The Tempus Collective are a duo hailing from Glasgow/Scotland, consisting of Kevin Fleming (vocals and keys) and Stewart Grieve (Keys, programming and production). The boys first met at school and have been playing together since 1983. They got their first 4-track a few years later and have continued to be bedroom music makers ever since, except for a 10 year recess to attend to family life.

Over the years there have been various musicians who have joined the ranks but it remains a two piece outfit for the moment with guest  musicians joining the band for selected projects as they are required.

Influenced by the likes of The Blue Nile, David Sylvian,Thomas Feiner and similar melancholic artists, the Tempus sound is usually a subdued affair that could never be considered mainstream.

"We spend a lot of time on production, we always have, it's about making the best of what you have at the time, both in ability  and equipment and as the years have gone on, both have improved vastly. We always felt that one good sounding song was worth 10 poor ones !  That's what we strive for, That's where we always channeled our energies and it still is to this day."

Using Soundcloud as their main platform to showcase their music the boys have accumulated a decent following and gained a lot of confidence from the warm reception they have received from fellow musicians and music lovers alike....
