Catch me if you can...
See if I understand
I'm just over here
Please don't come so near
40 days and 40 nights
I'll not fall without a fight
Tears have run down my face
Crawling is no disgrace
Fight the good fight the good fight the good fight
Don't look right into the light
What a sight tonight
Come a little closer.... come a little closer
I, you, he, she; everybody following
Take the cup; drink, think, be happy
We're beginning at the inn
......at the end, my friend

Comments: Original master was "dirty" and "overdriven"....Couldn't be undone....
This version was recorded in 2002 but previously existed in a rawer state in the last century.

“Out of sight, out of mind. Follow our leaders step out of line. They own you, that is true. Lives sucked out, desperate shout; the heavies are in, the original sin. Surrendering souls down deepest low to the men on pedestals, they are no fools. Beads of sweat, oncoming shower, pains of ecstasy in a bid for power. Black hands pull time ahead, no joy for the living or the dead. Whites and politics go hand in hand. Big talk and hopeless stands. Armed to the teeth with their Bible of beliefs. Is is pure desperation or misguided imagination? You cannot believe all that you read. Double entendres and a sleight of hand. The truth is that they always lie. Plenty of questions but no one knows why.  PiKB and PWB say you have to be chained in order to be free. Politics and death go hand in hand. Big talk and hopeless stands. They rise and rise so tall but now they wait for the fall.......”

1980s - Casio VL-tone, Wasp synth, Moog Concertmate MG-1, 2 track compact cassette recordings: tape to tape mixing ... emergence of Ding Dong. Revelled in the limitations in lo-fi sonic pallette and student budget...
1990s - Upgraded to 4-track compact cassette recordings... Casio CZ1000.
2000s - finally onto DAWs & xmachines & budget soft/hard synthesis & quirkiness in the Hikari Monos......Cakewalk>Sonar>Logic

ding dong retrospective PLUS transitional rough cuts to dashdotdotdash (-..-).
..... with electronic music (pre-2000)for the analogue age of wow and flutter, tape hiss and stutter.... given ancient-modern remiXes....
..... PLUS, vintage cuts from the -..- band archive (post 2000) that did not get pass the Beta stage and therefore, remain in the ding dong vaults...
