My first out-and-out Beatles pastiche, taking advantage of all those retro audio plug-ins which help create a 1966/67 Abbey Road recorded vibe.

Pain (Scott Fraser 2014)

From my solo album "Beneath the Times". Thanks to Pod Kennedy for the lead guitar and Andy Gibson on bass.

Hero of the 1990s

From my solo album "Surroundabout". A song about a man experiencing a brain operation.

Voyage Inside Your Head

From my solo album "Surroundabouttakes". A favourite of countless acoustic live sets.

Punctuation

From my solo album "Coursework". Written during a songwriting couse run by the Arvon foundation. Very exciting for me as the tutor was Ray Davies of the Kinks.

Sunburn

Remake of a song originally on my solo album "PlagueGround", and also the Spooks' first album. A man is sitting in his kitchen, hungry, when he takes a mind-altering substance. He becomes fixated on an amazing Strawberry Pie which happens to be on the table. It starts to dominate his perspective, eclipsing everything else until eventually he pitches face forward into it and suffocates.
