Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 11 November: from around midday on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch344

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. We also don’t accept SoundCloud Go tracks, which can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted will also be removed.

--Lyrics--
Dream in a dream 
not what it seems to be
in a dream
Time Running out 
I'm fading out and 
soon I will be 
strangled up and torn
Wishing you that I was never
born at all
Time and time again
my head's not there
Stuck in a dream (Dream in a dream)
Stars filling up
it's growing on the walls
Is it real
Flash Now I've gone 
somewhere else and now
I've landed here
I'm waking up to places
I have been before it seems
colours flowing up
It's beautiful 
but boy it scares me still

Dream In A Dream

The tracks on this mini-album were built entirely using 1980s home keyboards bought for less than £50 from a popular auction website... Each track showcases a different keyboard, with Splendid Larryo constructed from sounds from the Yamaha PSS-680, a simple FM synth disguised as a child's toy, and brushed up with some up-to-date production tools.

Splendid Larryo

To Begin With

Neon sign, neon light,
Side by side to the station, step in time.
Tell a joke, pinch a smoke,
Light it from one to another, noses bump.

Hook an arm, little charm,
Walk the long way round the houses, no alarms.

From the mist, flash of pink,
Someone invented colour just for him.
Pencil thin, stumbling,
falling into queuing taxis, goosebumping.

Painted face, lemonade,
Hiding behind a smile, simple grace.

Rhythm step, rhythm kept,
All this exists around us,
Step, next step.

Given time, we align,
Saying something, saying nothing, nevermind.
