And thats why 2

unfinnished acoustic number....  about my best friend.

Not Like You

Twisted  (acoustic)

Trademark squidface electronica/pop/dance. 

Current with the essential throwback feel of their youth.

Actually the most low-fi and unexpected collaboration made after a 10 year sabbatical:

In Scotland Derek finally dusted down his keyboards and recording device and sent a recording of his efforts to Sue on the south coast near Brighton.

This recording was made by holding his phone near a monitor-speaker and recording it then emailing it as a wav.file to sing over! 

The potential was evident. 
The production unforgivable. 

Enter Sues’ Brother Andrew who “ sprinkled the fairy dust!”  With his mindful production Sues’ (hastily recorded directly-into -her iPad) vocal and the tinny production were transformed! 

MADAMBA are back 
The squid is reborn
Long-live the power of the squid

someday

Hauntingly listenable..  Emotional track about being lied about…. This is the original version recorded in Cheltenham approximately 14 years ago.. 

After winning Bucks got Talent we recorded it again in the professional recording studios at Buck New University… 

But it lost a little something that day (so I really do hope I’m downloading the correct original version!) 

I’m downloading it today in response to a comment on the Talent is Timeless FB page by the lovely Alan Patterson who said he’d like to hear more instrumentation this one’s for you sir. I hope you enjoy!

twisted - Drums

Beautifully crafted squidface music. 

Poorly produced!  
Technically inept  but musically mindful x 

Music recorded by Derek on a crap phone held over a monitor in Scotland 
Emailed to Sue near Brighton & vocals which are never good enough but will do for now added in her garage! 

Rescued ( polishing of the turd ) occasionally by Brother AP in between proper adulting.. 
That’s  is all…. 

Oh did I mention that we plan to perform live this Autumn despite not even rehearsing in the same space yet!!!

TIME WONT WAIT

One of several new tracks written by the great giant obstacle man  (Del) himself in April whilst I was in St. Helena Island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean; one of the remotest places in the world and a place I am very proud to call my  Mothers homeland & my second home..     

As always if you listen carefully enough you might just hear  a car or motor cycle from road below or the baby Gull from roof above because as of yet we can’t send the music digitally via  a computer so  tunes are recorded onto Dels phone from his speaker and emailed over!   Vocals then added ( and a twist or 2 of reverb!) using GarageBands on my girlfriend’s iPad!   

Any advice on how to fire all this up in the same room gratefully received because we are scheduled to play together at a few gigs in September and seriously don’t yet even own a PA or mixing desk! ( although these purchases and anything else required will be made!) 

I think it’s a dream worth pursuing; to play our new tunes out live together?  Let me know what you  think in the comments. Am I deluded ??!! 

Please messsge me if you can assist in educating 2 old timers - thank you

I have no idea what I was thinking........   But apparently it sounds great live..... ( my best friend and #1 fan tells me so that must be true!!!)

My cover of Annies song by John Denvor......  I really dont think adding a drum & bass or bashment beat is going to improve it!  
If it isn't broke... don't attempt to fix it! (but thanks for the suggestion!?!)
 lmfao!
