after Society with Ian wall, I joined a band called The Press darlings.  had 2 years of fun...recorded 3 demos and played about a hundred gigs...including Frieburg in Germany...this track was one of the first we wrote together, as Sandra and John had a very healthy back catalogue of superb songs....Dave the drummer and myself wanted to stamp our influences into the band...this song became our greatest asset...  heres a live video

The Presss Darlings- HATE

this is the rough instrumental demo mix that was sent to Bridgette from the synth band "Destination" , I think we all can hear the massive vocal and lyrical contribution She made to this song when it became "Displacement?".....thanks to Bridgette and Sam Wale.

The Gathering Chant

The Gathering Chant (feat. Hubert Francis)

This hauntingly beautiful 'goth noir' track starts off with an eerie music box style melody, but quickly turns into a wonderful and magical orchestral soundtrack. It's like opening an old music box and unleashing fantastical adventures. Additional textures and sounds whirring in the background suggest rusty, steampunk like mechanics, enhancing the feel of legendary, other-worldly fairytales.

Magical Music Box

Beautiful, emotional and expressive piano piece. Tiny touch of strings at the very end, to round up the composition.
