I thought I could get off lightly
when I wash I pray to you nightly
and it can get frightening
alone in my room
When I let my thoughts come
over to you

sensors indicate I'm lost in space
i couldn't find my way out of a paper bag
sensors indicate I'm lost in space
i couldn't find my way out of a paper bag
 
I caught myself laughing
over something stupid you said
i can’t quite remember the context
but that thought got stuck in my head

sensors indicate we're lost in space
we couldn't find my way out of a paper bag
sensors indicate we're lost in space
we couldn't find my way out of a paper bag

And you ask me what planet I’m on
one where the stars are never right
you can cut the air with a knife
where the sun don’t go down without a fight
yeah the sun don’t go down out of spite

Lost in Space

Yes. I know it is widely considered weird. Yeast extract music from the yeast extract man.

Here you have pretty much everything I have produced since 2019, all mixed into a 6.5hr landscape of nonsense. The sound of inside my head for none of you to enjoy.

You're welcome.

All tracks and sounds heard here were created and produced by Will Farr, with the following exceptions:

The Amusements - Elements (Will Farr Edit) 

Kiffie - Disco of the Damned Instrumental (Will Farr Remix) 

Carlo Villa - A piece of every dream (Will Fare' Activation-Synthesis Remix) 

Unofficial remixes and odes to the following artists feature (for personal use only):

Miriam Makeba
Bodega
David Bowie
Meat and Prawns
Bill Wyman
Arcade Fire
20th Century Steel Band
Vanilla Ice

I've exploited the talents of the following beautiful souls on certain tracks:
Abi Ross
Azalee Dockings
Spacegirl
Lo-T
A.E.G.
Andy C
Let me know if I've missed something, ask me if you want a track list. It's long. 

Special thanks to:

Adam Curtis for making exceptionally good documentaries. 

Andy Carvell for getting it. 

Adam H for never being around. 

Prawns for being the point. 

The Signal Committee for sometimes liking my music enough to add it to their playlists. 

The landlord for not raising the rent at the studio. 

Anyone I've emailed about music who has completely ignored me. 

You must be very ill.

Clinical Reagents: Will produced all these tracks and mixed them together with 4 decks for 6.5hrs

The signature song from our album of the same name Desiree. A barn burning rocker that gets you going from start to finish. The stage is set when a beautiful mystery woman beguiles this small town with her looks and style creating speculation and wonder.

Desiree

Something to tickle your dancing senses. A subtle salsa-infused electronic journey.

SENSES

Our latest track has a purpose, and that is to raise awareness of intimate partner violence.  April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and we chose to release this track in April because it outlines some of the concerning behaviors that abusers often show as a prelude to intimate partner violence. This track is also extremely personal for me.  I wrote it to help deal with my own trauma, but it would mean the world to me if it can help even one other person who may be on track to become a victim.

PLAYLIST BELOW  - PLEASE SUPPORT THE ARTISTS YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF!

This is my first recording as part of my plan to take a wide range of new and unheard music into venues around the UK to promote the overlooked talent that surrounds us.

My performances in venues will be accompanied by screens showing information and links to each artist as they are played. Feedback and support will be encouraged. It is my aim to integrate live performances from artists local to where each show takes place, once I am happy with how it is running. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this mix and read your comments. If you love it, share it. Let's support each other and make the music scene better for everyone in it. Music and life isn't a competition, that's just a lie perpetuated by wankers who don't want you to be happy.

Thank you,

Will x

Will Farr's Eclectic Mix Volume 1

"Elevate your Thursdays with the incredible blues experience of Rattled Beats on Yippee Ki-Ay Blues."

Executive Producer: SwiftEyes Innovation Inc.

Rattled Beats 10-31-24

Track list below, and hopefully the artists will tag their own tracks in the waveform.

                                                 -------

I hadn't planned to make this a regular online affair, but my live shows are slightly held up whilst the perfect website is being conjured from mouse clicks and imagination.

Something of an autumnal feel in this latest instalment of my Eclectic Mix project, and certainly a little darker than the Volume 1 demo. I've made an effort to include artists who didn't feature heavily in the first recording, and I will continue to do that to the best of my abilities whilst maintaining some coherence. It's not perfect, but that makes it all the more human.

Please reach out to the artists if you enjoy their music, and to me if you don't.

I recorded this before my Eclectech mix, and I realise there is some overlap but they are very much two different things.

Volume 3 will come in the Fresh on the Net Christmas break.

In Jimmy Andrex we trust,

Vampire in the Basement

Song writer, guitarist and vocalist, Formally a bassist in a number of semi-pro rock bands in 70s.   The first serious band I was ever in was with this guy: https://soundcloud.com/paulkrainbird 
Gemini's biggest highlight was playing Windsor Free Festival on the same billing as Hawkwind. We played a bit of soccer with them before the show - lol. Another band and another highlight was cutting "Shoot the Butler" at Abbey Road and, yes, we did walk the zebra crossing :-p 
I played bass on demo tracks by Dave Jackson "Van Ser Graaf Generator" too.
 Long live Rock!
