Taken from Project-3 "Body of God":
On the surface, Hold Me Close is a poppy little love song, with a bit of an 80's vibe going on. But the underlying dirty bass line and hard grooving drums give it that sexy 21st century tween edge. :0)

Hold Me Close

Swirling, thumping, hypnotic dance floor groover, with Middle Eastern influences.

"See the light in the heart of the dark" is the call of this pulsing house tune. Urban chaos is the home of 'angels hearts in cloaks of dark', as the song says, 'come set them free'. The song features a vocal sample from Bodhi Brouillette, sounding all Jack Nicolson!

If you're going to get a song stuck in your head, you might as well have one that could improve your bank balance! Bags of Money is a big Hip-Hop, head nodding, Gospel prayer of a song, with a sense of humour, and an air of possibility.

I wanted to try my hand at writing an 'old school' techno/house tune that would be a blast to dance to - and this is what I came up with. For those who are wondering... 'Flop The Nuts' is a poker term.

It's all gone a bit pop on Project-3! lol! This is a jaunty singalong summer groover - also recon it would be perfect for the soundtrack to the next Twilight movie! ;0) Producers listening? Enjoy! :0)


One In The Morning

Last week, The Drowning Room, my old band (circa '87-'91) from when I had very long hair, finally all re-connected through facebook. In honour of that, and having listened to a few rock-electro melds here on soundcloud, I thought I would try my hand at a bit of a Drowning Room/Portal remix/mash-up. I've had bugger all spare time for music lately, so it was also a good excuse to have a play! It still needs some serious spit and polish, but it has had all the time I can give it for now, and I share it here - for The Drowning Room boys! I digitised an old casette copy of our 'never quite released' second single "Placebo Love', and hit it with some serious synth patches and drum loops! Enjoy! :0)

Placebo Love (Portal ReMix 2010)

Taken from Project-1 "Welcome to Infinite Pleasure" (2002-4)
I think I wrote this during my 'Spiritual Machismo' phase, as it's a chant to Kali, the God of destruction & creation which pretty much says - "c'mon give it your best shot" - The positive intent there, of course, was to wash away the ego. Turns out the answer was to Love it! ;0)

Bring It On

A fairly recent addition to the 'Body of God' Portal project, this is an upbeat and modern spin on the classic chant "Om Namah Shivaya" - guarenteed to make you smile! :0)
