Fun Facts:
* After dark, when the moon is low in the sky, it makes a beautiful shiny road to itself all the way along the top of the sea.
* The moon always looks so beautiful on the sea at Sidmouth, where Flicker and their friends used to go.
* Sidmouth is bang in the centre of Lyme Bay, and the sea looks so big.
* The moonpath there was even better before all the breakwaters were built.
* The guitar parts for Moonpath were all played using the Ice Maiden, which is double tracked left and right.
* The rhythm guitar was the origin of the track and carries the melody as well.
* The tempo is 138 BPM and the key is C# minor.
* There are many hybrid chords involving fretted notes and harmoonics.
* Moonpath ends up on a B.

SACRIFICE
Sand blown up from the desert makes faces on the wall
Endless beach of sunset holds me in its thrall
And I can’t seem to sleep or wake from this dream
And I can’t seem to find what anything means

I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep

Crowds that have but one head stumble around the town
Opinions of the Doctor say that Heaven’s lost its crown
And I can’t seem to walk, or talk of what I wish
And I can’t seem to see the reason for a kiss

I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep

Fumes snake across my ceiling, the writing is so plain
Surely someone tomorrow will see I’m not to blame
I can’t seem to move or undo this knot
And I can’t seem to use what it is that I’ve got

I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep

I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep
I just watch the world throw away what I keep

Fun facts:
This song is in the key of Cm.
It was one of the last things Rowena ever jammed along to, hence the saxophone riff.
George plays the sampled guitar parts on Nicodemus and the recorded guitar parts on the Ice Maiden.

Rage in Heaven

Sacrifice

Dark Company: Sacrifice

Future Sadness Past by Dark Company.
Album: Signmaker

FUTURE SADNESS PAST
Slow light, runway from the sun
So right, time and times are done
We must pay the price for fun
Until we have Night Man on the run

Slow light, MacBeth witches’ brew
Best seen from some distant view
We know, do what you have to do
It’s an icy night we must all live through

Now we rage against the cold sky
Now we hate tomorrow
Now we say we will try
To kill the birds of sorrow
To kill the birds of sorrow

Lyrics by P. Greatorex.
Music by G. Davies/P. Greatorex/J. Willmot.

Performers:
Peter Greatorex – vocals, cigarette lighter, fast fret tin
George Davies – guitar
Jeff Willmot – bass

Recorded live at Silent Running Studios, Exeter, Autumn 1991.
Audio lifted from a cassette bootleg and cleaned.
Remastered at Wud Records Studios 2010.

Originally released 19th December 1991.
First re-release March 1992.
Second re-release June 2000.
Third re-release 16th December 2010.

Cover Art:
Mushroom Baby by Peter Greatorex

Fun Facts:
* This song was composed using just a bass, a guitar, their volume knobs and a shiny new set of lyrics from the prolific pen of Pete.
* An Alesis Quadraverb Plus and a few pipes of some extraordinarily good gear also deserve accreditation.
* Several subsequent attempts were made to record Future Sadness Past using the reel-to-reel machine.
* This live version was by far everybody’s favourite.
* It is lifted straight off the rehearsal cassette from the day when it was originally created.
* George plays Nicodemus for the beautiful icy ringing of the strings when played beyond the bridge and the nut.
* Jeff was rather fond of using his Mighty Mite bass to make whale noises and would often break into them during quieter moments.
* He would also play a solo version of Misty by Johnny Mathis on the bass, which was completely wonderful.
* An acoustic version of Future Sadness Past song emerged a few years after the original.
* It is based around an Em9 chord, exactly the same chord as the start of Ship to Shore.
* Future Sadness Past is completely atemporal and relies on the performers’ interactions.
* There are no beats at all until Pete starts flicking his unusual Zippo gas lighter by the mic and then tapping George’s Fast Fret tin with it.
* We felt these added sounds were very atmospheric, reminiscent of the clicking of dry bones echoing from inside a fog over the darkened River Styx.

Recovering from a cold and thinking about pleasant thoughts. My wife and daughter said this should be danced to on a sunny beach. Not a bad idea :) A moonlit one will do also ...

A remix of one of my London tunes. Rock on....

The Junction

Going down to Charing Cross.
Gonna see my old boss.
Gotta a package to deliver,
Somewhere across the river.


In the back of some old gaff,
Where they keep things under wraps.
Gotta meet a bloke called Jerry -
Maybe dodgy, maybe very.


Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my engine gunning
Something is going down.


Lost on the streets of London,
Running red lights through Camden.
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.


I gotta get back east,
See the beauty and the beast.
She lives up by the common,
Such a sweet loving woman.


Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my motor running…
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.

STEVEE THE JUNCTION REMIX

We wanted to close the album with a chill-out track. Santos, named after all saints day; the day it  was completed in Spain, takes you back to the beach with a warm breeze and the lapping sounds of the sea. For you this may be early morning as the clubs close or watching the sunset! The inspiration for this track comes from one of our favourite CDs - a rare chill-out album called Sleepless by 6th Sense. A project by one of the Freemasons and a Japanese producer, it features the amazing track Paradise written and sung by another hero Judie Tzuke.

Revelation

This is a special track we're working on for our EP featuring my husband Chip on acoustic guitar and lead vocals.  He and I wrote it together on our back porch sipping wine during a power outage.  ♥

The Same Moon

Beeline

On Haze we channelled our inner T. Rex to bring some glam [synth] rock to the track. We got so immersed in this sound that we initially called it Perfume Haze - a nod to Jimmy Hendrix. We created a vocal track using Vocaloid but decided the vocals sounded too manufactured so we remixed it to the version on the album. A ‘perfume haze’ is created when everyone is trying to outdo each other to gain attention and was the theme of the track.

Haze

You Will Be There

open minds are always welcomed outside the box...
only place on the planet you'll find a graffiti'd Buddah above a chalk on paper, Chuck Liddell in the same track cover... instead of getting utterly lost in that juxtaposition, let's enjoy the fruits of the artistic labour!

Chorus:  La- la la...
Intro: Cause McDubree Emcee Slam Poetry Jamboree- take 1:
Slamarama ding dong, like playin ping pong in a sing song voice/a fine choice of unkind noise for unwise boiz playin' with toys that are gonna get them burned (haven't learned), now that the battle hardened veteran has returned...

Comin back with the bombastic kick, Cause the Mick on the mic/bring the sick shit you like, broke as fuck don’t seem to matter, I’m spittin unique rhymes like horses empty out their bladder (hah!) fatter bass bounce paid by the ounce amounts to 'bout a  gram a hour- non-stop slammin power, known to crumble ivory tower, ready to pounce- turn your crew’s cream sour- body counts- add up- the more I get fed up, hard not to get fired up when your prose is this explosive (uhh) mc’s tongues get tied up as they drink the rap corrosive, go fuck your hype #MitchMarner type of savvy playmaker (it's Mitch) who loves to drop the gloves when shoves turn to haymakers (bitch).

i morph into #TieDomi- all you no good punks can blow me...

(chorus/incongruous medley)

Second coming of the comeback emcees tuck their bumback in their pants/fickle fans (smooches)- have to stop kissing them, (PHONEY!) phoney fake flakes is the reason that I’m dissing them, ding ding- no fucks given- for ya bling bling, my main thing’s a pain thing don’tmakemeswitchit to a name thing, #Kanye / aka Captain Sucktastic, exterior of plastic act as if you been anointed bro, your flow is so disjointed though, (meow) cat’s out of the bag- you've been a pretentious drag, on society/impropriety, queen of the pops, callin cops/flop after flops somehow- ya shit show never stops, high time you fade from the limelight/my time until you learn to rhyme right, the LP plays like Trump’s first 100 days, no comment on the videos packed with shitty ho’s, concept of euphoria stayin at the #WaldorfAstoria while mine’s creatin another track form a crack- in ya muthafuckin back- ill beats from Spinner/Cause drop verses like the gypsy from #Thinner disperses terse curses… (Thinner… thinner….)

(bridge/chorus/faux finish)

third time’s the charm- inflict irreparable harm, to the opposition psyche/they can’t do this like Nike, knew it’s highly unlikely pushin Thuggy G persona, shit’s as old as My Sharona/ #IceCube /Toyota Carolla, this action slice deep down to their bowels can see resulting scowls- in every image uploaded as these bangas i lovingly coded exploded, your fanbase eroded/migrating my way pupils dilating eye way- rundown roadhouse off the last bi-way, respond to hashtag laced challenges right after- my belly recovers from the hearty fit of laughter, never budgin from face smudgin leave foes bitter as a crusty ol’ curmudgeon locked in my mental dungeon, where you’re fed dead mice sprinkled with head lice, the McHarshness is so fucked up testicles get tucked up, deep inside your anus where they wait for this morning’s Danish.

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.
