Falling Asleep On The Bus (Abbey Mix)

Falling Asleep On The Bus (Abbey Mix) feat. Alfred Bird

Arranged as a rock trio song featuring Dave Sturt of Gong and Aaron Comess of The Spin Doctors, Number Crunching is a sort of sister song to Grey Unpleasant Wasteland. With the reification of statistics, bureaucracy and the obfuscation of selective data, pseudo-science and management-speak there can be less truth than ever in business, politics, marketing and the media. Attainment targets, 'continual improvement', appraisal procedures, public relations, human resources - ongoing conjurers' tricks in a smoke and mirrors conceit. Yet as philosophers and mathematicians have questioned - after all the trickery and deceit, how much certainty, control, and meaning do we have in our carnival of absurdity?

Number Crunching

Written in Stoke-on-Trent in 1992 and initially recorded with the late Race Newton on piano in Whitby then with Dirk Zodiac at Race's goat farm in Grosmont. Years later, around 2007, Daryl would be fortunate to encounter Dave Sturt who had played in London with both Race and Dirk in the 1980s. Through Race, Daryl had met Isaac Guillory a couple of times and Dave Sturt had also performed with him. It was fitting, then, that Dave kindly agreed to play bass on this song as the 1994 sessions on cassette with Race and Dirk had survived in the archives and were arranged by producer Mark Beeston along with fresh drums in this 2020 version.

Out Of My Head

Out Of My Head (feat. Race Newton) on Bandcamp

Written in Scarborough around 1999 this song eluded arrangement until producer Mark Beeston came up with this structure inspired by some of Beck's work. Daryl agreed Beck was a great inspiration but was looking for another song to weave in his love of Indian music, flavour some of the Beatlesque inferences and pay tribute to the rhythm sections that accompanied Hendrix and to bands such as The Cream. So here we have it.

The full album (digital download and CD digipak) includes an extended version.

Introduction to Misapprehension:

Having drawn together numerous talented people over nearly 3 decades, Misapprehension has been created to represent achievements in varying fields, including music, film making, video game production and writing. We are therefore setting up as a record label, film and games studio.

Our first example of this is the launching of the debut album by Daryl Quincy. Daryl began production on this in 2004 using songs written since 1992. He took time out, moving house and jobs and so on and added enough songs to create an album from 2008. Now 12 years further on, after several health difficulties and practical obstacles (housing, hard drive crashes, day jobs, university work etc) the album is launching in 2020. Daryl is our example of never giving up, of fulfilling a dream - however unlikely or unprofitable - to create, to deliver, to experiment living with some regrets and not allowing other regrets, finding out what happens if you reach for the stars keeping your feet on the ground. Ignoring calls of "Don't bother", "Its too much work", "It'll never pay" in order to see projects through that may be a gamble, but in several ways are better done than not done.

Daryl Quincy's debut album, for example, brings together several musicians who's paths coincidentally crossed in the 1980s and he combines them in performance across decades into one song, "Out Of My Head". He fuses Indian, folk, jazz, country, blues, classical and funk music into an album of short catchy 'pop' songs. These have been a long time in production, yet are not 'overproduced' - maintaining some rough edges and real/natural artifacts from basement and attic recordings, with some piano and sax parts even recorded on cassette in the 1990s. His hope is that he has created a natural, 'organic' and genuine anthology, a 'human' album with textures, atmosphere, vulnerability and strength. 

Such a debut album perhaps fittingly encapsulates the ethos of Misapprehension - warmth, humanity, vulnerability, hope and resolve. We hope we deliver this in the creative projects to come. Thank you.
