Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via soundcloud.com/groups/dropbox anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning 7th March 2016: from mid-day on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch189

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150 tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

It knocked me down
Silver in a golden heart
I’ve been asking around
for answers in the dark

No, I can’t see
where this road might lead
but I just can’t believe
in a stolen dream

Ask me sweet and ask me slow
cause’ I don’t wanna let this go
Ask me sweet and ask me slow
cause’ I’m not ready to let this go

Chorus:
Wrap me up
oh wrap me up
wrap me in the stars of your arms
let me hold to the light
of an endless dawn

Light me up
Oh, light me up
light me in the dark of your heart
let me burn like the light of an endless dawn

I know I’m holding on too tight
but there’s just so much that keeps me up at night

Ringmaster Review - "There's a raw feel of XTC to the song at times, refreshing!"

LyRiCs:
I’m shooting straight, 
I left the planet feeling great, 
Like the first Russian dog in space, 
My little doggie face, 
I want to rattle the side plates. 
And all the scientists agree, 
Reassuring me on the wireless, 
As I cruise past Vanguard 3. 
And we both wish, 
We kept it down, 
‘cause we were too close. 

It’s unavoidable, 
It’s incredible and untrue, 
The praxis of the situation, 
The premise that I didn’t come alone, 
The preface that nobody knows, 
Is it believable, 
Incredible or untrue? 
We were too close. 

In a first world bed, 
Unique neurosis in my head, 
I’m worried about my Bitcoin, 
That’s right I’m crypto-paranoid, 
And that’s why I keep my cellphone tied, 
And I can’t let loved ones out my sight, 
I can’t relax or even take a drive, 
I’ve got the CIA all on my mind, 
These jackals follow me and quote my life.

Too Close To The Noise Floor

These works are recorded in Jinan, China during 2015's summer. Due to time constraints and a variety of important matters, the post-processing has repeatedly delayed. Until today, we decided to put them out. We have listened these tracks so many times that we have puked for several weeks. But in any case, personally, these music had undeniable significance to me.

There are a lot of things that supposed to be re-recorded, but we have no chance. Also, as time goes by the feelings have gone.
I'm here to share with you shamelessly.
