My attempt at a Prefab Sprout song. I was fascinated by how it all fitted together. It's like a fantastic jigsaw puzzle. Sorry about the singing, as ever. Can't touch Paddy. Figuratively or literally.

Enchanted

Together In Electric Dreams, In 140 minutes

While Joe from Hot Chip was DJing at the Black Peaches the other day he played "Way Back When" by Brenda Russell. I loved it so much that I've spent the day recording a version of it. 

PS: I am not a black woman.

Way Back When

Walk On

Love On A Farmboy's Wages

Paul & Rhodri's Musical Knowledge Contest

Small tribute to the godlike genius of Rod Temperton. Done in Logic Pro X with a Strat and a bass and a mic and a Telecaster and a fat head.

Put The Word Out

Arthur's Theme

A bad-tempered hack through my favourite Smiths song.

You've Got Everything Now

With apologies to Morrissey / Marr.

The John Lewis advert bugged me so much I thought I should create something monstrous that made it look like the feeble streak of horsepiss that it is. I'm not sure I managed that, but I knocked it out in three hours and laughed like an idiot in a room on my own for most of those three hours. Merry Xmas everyone..

Heaven Knows I'm Christmassy Now

Love Will Keep Us Together in the style of Love Will Tear Us Apart. With apologies to Joy Division, Captain, and Tenille.

Love Will Keep Us Together

The unfortunate day when I decided to record a cover version of Don't Go Breaking My Heart as a duet with myself.

Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Never Let Her Slip Away

Me poncing about trying to be Todd Rundgren in a lunch break.

Can We Still Be Friends

Don't Sing

Here you would have "Rock Suite Vol 1" by xMan Diamondx.

xMan Diamondx has embarked on an instrumental rock crusade of the old American TV themes. Waves of digital keys and laid-back stone grooves, retarded screaming and shouting, forced cadences and a very strong sociopolitical message. Put barbed wire into your left ear and pull it out from your right ear. Enjoy the feeling.

Rock Suite comprises the following melodies: Little Prix / It's Your Fucking Sports Day / Pacific Palisades / Be My Guest / Tell Me Ur Phantasy / The Wanker / Drive Me Wild / Bucharest Bordello / Dazzling Night / Queens Road / Little Prix Reprise

Warning: Rock Suite is 22 minutes long. If you make it to the end you win a holiday.

All songs by Steely Randhawa, except "Dazzling Night" by Rhodri Marsden and "Queens Road" by Michel Colombier.

Performed by Steely, Ebony, Rhodri and Freight Train. They are xMan Diamondx.

Rock Suite Vol 1

I pretend to be both of The Alessi Brothers, and a band.

Oh Lori

A bad-tempered deconstruction of the wedding dancefloor classic.

Night To Remember

I Can't Not Play Piano To That (No Can't Not Do)

Vapid Response Unit. Writer of stuff. Also: musical octopus. I play in Scritti Politti, Dream Themes and Prescott. Pissing into the wind.
