A collaboration with our amazing SoundCloud friend holy shitshow @user-649412648 the theme is based on the Island of the Lotus Eaters mythology where Odysseus's unwary crew are lured ashore to lose themselves in a dreamlike narcosis of blissful forgetfulness.

Reworked ambient soundscape and production Andy

The new sun moves up
It's rays heat on my skin
The shining river
Leave it calls and dive within
The solvent river
Flows down where I can't go
The shining faces
Of everyone I love
The clock is ticking
It's breath right on my brain
The heat is stifling
Makes me long for summer rain
I'll wake up new born
And raise my head to the morning sun
The cold night thickens
When Winter’s touch is on your mind
The plethoreeere…….t
A song tucks in to wave me awake
And when I'm on the ……. bank
I stand and look ……. down

80's Gen X New Waver Mobile Disco/Club Spinner in High School & College; Silicon Valley CA Product Engineering Executive/Solid State Drive Geek; Spent most of my allowances on extended, remixes and hard to find esoteric 12" dance vinyl records, used to frequent record stores in SF Bay Area (Amoeba, Rasputins, Tower, Record Factory, Star, etc.) on weekends and after class.  Still love to visit record stores & dig through bins of used records when i go on business trips. Recorded 100's of mixed tapes for classmates/friends and hours & hours in front of the turntables. Count the BPMs, find the intros and breaks and move on the next. Enjoy Generation X underground Club Music. Happy listening! Cheers! 💾🎧📻

We're late starters, hence the name.  Andy started playing and learning how to use a DAW to keep distracted during the covid lockdown, while Helen finally realised a long held ambition to have a go at singing, and is now both writing and performing.
We love the community on Soundcloud, where we can share our music with like minded souls.
