On The Threshold Of The Unseen

Malice

The Joker (demo) by Dark Company.
Album: Signmaker
Bonus track!

THE JOKER
I look out from this scratched and faded view
Makeshift repairs instead of getting new
Don’t you ever get tired of tracing all the wires
Knowing that the switches won’t switch for you?

I work at the job that’s easiest, you see
Paying rent instead of living free
Don’t you wanna be bad instead of just being sad
Finding out you can be you instead of me?

The Joker he stares proudly at the wall
He can be who he wants to be
But he don’t wanna ‘be’ at all
He’s an empty Harlequin
With colours growing dim
And he struts about inside his little world

I keep up with the latest lines of talk
So I can ride instead of having to walk
Don’t you like the fashions that gotta little passion?
Being daring takes an extra bit of thought

I sleep with one eye fixed upon the clock
Waiting for the Reaper’s ghostly knock
Don’t you keep the days checking which ones can stay
Using them for your story’s clever plot?

The Joker he stares proudly at the wall
He can be who he wants to be
But he don’t wanna ‘be’ at all
He’s an empty Harlequin
With colours growing dim
And he struts about inside his little world

Fun Facts:
* This song is very closely related to Armed & Dangerous as they both share the same tune in the verses.
* George considered this tune-sharing conundrum a challenge and set about making this song and Armed & Dangerous appear to not be all that similar after all.
* The tempo is 138BPM and the key is B minor.
* George composed and recorded a demo of the guitar part whilst looking through Pete's lyric book during a marathon 72-hour session of studio work.
* Ben recorded the drums at the same time as George’s guide guitar track, which was played on the Ice Maiden plugged straight into the mixing desk.
* George was attempting to give directions to Ben throughout their performance.
* When Pete laid down a guide vocal track, Simon was rehearsing his trumpet parts in the background.
* If you listen carefully, you can hear little snatches of his horn being picked up by the vocal mic.
* Some of it is rather wonderful.
* George then added a guide bass track on the Plank, which in those days was tuned as a standard bass guitar.
* The bassline was unplanned until its recording, and has since become a main feature of the song.
* There is a touch too much trigger flange across the cymbals and liberal amounts of delays from the Alesis Quadraverb in this rather fun and dubby mix.
* Even the click track makes a tastefully calculated occasional appearance!
* It is not certain why this recording of The Joker was never finished.
* We felt that it has a curious merit all of its own, despite a few musical blunders.
* This demo version of The Joker was first included on the Signmaker album for its first re-release, in March 1992.
* There is a subsequent version of The Joker by Dark Company on their Alien Heat album.
* When Pete became too ill to perform in 1994, his replacement Andy would sometimes sing different and rather comical lyrics.

Jamn' my Fender Strat the other day, found some nice chords progression. Built something around it same day, using LogicX on Mac. Unrefined and unpolished playing, guys. Layered bass, rhythm and played impromptu solo over. I dug up the rack from a hard-drive, so this couple years recording comes as-is, no refinments. Contains pure inspiration with the mistakes provided :)   Juss having some fun...  :D

Thank you for all for the AMAZING feedback here - Sam PROCK. 

Check out the version, in which Roger played his blessing guitar over this track, the next day  :)))) Appreciate my friend!

Up To You (Instrumental)

This piece, number 24, started off inspired by Black Heart Procession, but then traveled through Gravenhurst and latter day Nick Cave. Once again, it's a bit dark.
Becca Allen joined in on backing vocals and autoharp.

You Say To Me: The Remixes [feat. Elena K]

Raven Feat. Elena K - You Say To Me (VONZENSTONE Remix)

Here is a preview of our newest release, Rise!  Available on iTunes, Bandcamp, Amazon, and most online retail stores.

Rise by Gravity Blinks

This track takes me back to probably the best day I can remember.  
Cruising around Koh Samui on a beat up 600cc Chopper.
Then spending the night on a moonlit beach, staring up at The Milky Way.
The very best of days.

Moonlight Sea

As soon as I listened to this song I contacted them asking if I could make a remix of it, they happily agreed and I made it. It was 9 months ago and since my quality back then wasn't good I decided to make a remaster of it. This is the result! I hope you enjoy!

Shadow Lover (feat. Paris Alexander)

"When you feel confined, take your soul on a ride,
Up where eagles fly."

This is Syd's mix.
You can hear more from him at https://soundcloud.com/voss-bark

Where Eagles Fly feat. Skyline tigers (Syd's mix)

Out he comes of the blue subaru a dodgy lookin fucker with a point to prove,
He's got a whole catalogue of different jokes but his favourite punchlines the one he throws at your throat,
He likes to scrap with metal in his hand n all the nightclubs have given him the ban,
If you look at him sideways he'll probably chase ya in his shitty loud whip he thinks he's a boy racer

Lookin out my window writing stories but there ain't no heroes, little does she know this is the end of her innocence

But she's still doin her GCSE's but he says it's alright coz she's nearly 16,
He's not like everyone who goes and earns a wage, he lives of money by sellin the high grade,
He's a headcase for all the class A's, he's only ever happy when he gets waved, what a fucking shame that he can only bring himself to smile when he's intoxicated

Blue Subaru

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.

Join me and a lot of other artists at www.atomcollectorrecords.com.
Get more plays for your tracks and meet a lot of awesome people!
Cheers!
