Amazing track, a bit of Kraftwerk vibe also 😊

2020 Anthology CD1

The scorching sun, the dazzling scenery, and getting drenched in sweat every day make me wish autumn would come quickly. But as soon as I see signs of autumn, I start to miss the summer that I used to hate.
In fact, maybe I do like summer.
Thank you for the thousands of memories.

**"Gold Boulevard"**

In the city of razor tongues and neon lights,
Where laughter hides the poison and the fights,
There walks a man with wry smile upon his face,
In a sardonic friendship, no one can trace.

Sardonic friendship, a dance of deceit,
A two-step of laughter, but hearts incomplete,
Fools Gold Boulevard, where the jesters reign,
In a world of illusions, we forever remain.

Beneath the facade of witty banter and charm
Lies a twisted allegiance, doing no harm
But the cynics and jokers, they understand
The allure of Fools Gold Boulevard's hand in hand.

Sardonic friendship, a dance of deceit
A two-step of laughter, but hearts incomplete
Fools Gold Boulevard, where the jesters reign
In a world of illusions, we forever remain

Solo

Beneath the surface, beneath the veils
Lies the truth we dare not to unveil
The bond of humor, the bond of pain
In Fools Gold Boulevard, we remain

So raise a toast to the friends we pretend
In the shadows of laughter, in the echoes of the end
Fools Gold Boulevard, a timeless masquerade
In this sardonic friendship, our secrets are laid

Rabbits in the sunset

We are rabbits 
in the sunset

Points expanding
into circles

Only sublime
light on our fur

Hare abright, the
wideness of night

Hymns are humming 
along our ears

Carried upon
the wind's double

Our eyes can see
ways of wisdom

The return of
the magician

Leap, imagination
Immortality

Playful strategies
Alchemical transmutation

Sunset splend'rous
lilac scented

Allegories
labyrinthine

Former exploits
taken as clues

Old guardians
moving aside

Rabbit snares are
due to rabbits

Words exist be-
cause of meaning

Rabbits gotten,
snares forgotten

Tying tongues with
elective mutes

Alchemical rabbits
Their meaning's unclear

Vapor of the earth
Signifying channels open

We are rabbits 
in the sunset

Our meaning need
not be expressed

Promontory
allegories

Trials end in
levitation

In purple we 
are ascending

Our ears hear the
hymns forthcoming

Our eyes can see
ways of wisdom

The return of
the magician

Rabbits in the sunset - ft. Neons Gone Mad

Always A Perfect Day
In a world of unrest, war and forced overtime. Life can get so heavy it weighs you down. Come plug in to a world of peace and tranquility. Where no matter the news or weather, every day is a perfect day.

Lyrics,
No worries 'bout the weather
That's what everyone will say
Clouds or rain or warm sunshine
Always a perfect day

Hear the buzzing in the air
From electric power lines
The vibe will pulse right through your feet
Bringing comfort your mind

I came here in a troubled time
And lost the will to leave
With nothing in my pockets
No aces up my sleeve

I faded to the background
A sinking boat still mored
Hypnotized by rhythmic waves
Until totally absorbed 

Floating in a real live dream
This is where you get away
Let go the world that brought you here
That's the only price you'll pay

Connect your own paradise
If you come here plan to stay
Lose your mind come rain or shine
Always a perfect day

Always A Perfect Day

nothing you could do

This is an original song Durge came up with to describe a guy who has lost at love once before and feels pessimistic about his future. But time and random circumstances present a new opportunity at love and happiness. Fortunately the spark ignites in a big way to bring him back around.

Lyrics:    Imagination

There’s a shadow in my, imagination
Where the moonlight left me, without sensation
Makes it hard to see the, sun is shining
It’s a cloud with, no silver lining

It was something in the way, she cried into me
When the tears dried, the drought, forever threw me. 

There’s a corner of the bar at a downtown cafe
Where the sunlight through the door marks the end of the day
When you broke the light, from the doorway
From the corner I was, looking your way

It was something in the way, you looked into me
When you spoke to me it went right through me. 

Sometimes one thing really, leads to another
Shadows only need a spark, to recover
We were sparkin’ like a, July occasion 
And the fireworks lit up my imagination 

Now it’s something in the way that you call out my name
And the moonlight reveals, my sensation again

Imagination

'perhaps, the best...'

Baby, unfortunately you have gave me
no choice but to leave you,
'cause you're crazy.
Indeed, at once it was 'maybe.'
But, now it is definitely 'no.'
Although I am sad to see you go.
And wish you all the best.
I still love you.
And always will for what you've been to me.
Eternally. 

I pushed you through your spare room window
and never left.
You made me poutine, burned your arm and had sex. Perhaps the best...

perhaps, the best

Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.

Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
