Another day, another remake! haha.  This one was the first track on the 2004 album 'A Quiet Place'.  That's my first ever recording of me playing the acoustic guitar.  

The OG's nice, but a sprawling, meandering piece with little form.  Thanks to some perfect vox from loopcloud, it's taken proper shape into the third slignhtly folky track published in a row!!

Alone Again (We Rely On Love)

A 2025 remake of an odd little acidy instrumental from 2006's Sonambulism.  I suspect I was listening to hardfloor at the time!  Tidied it up, mixed so it doesn't distort -  and added some vox / vox effects.  but mainly kept it as a groove.  
not sure what i was hoping, planning or actually leaving behind back in 2006.  but it's a fairly common theme.  One of the first tunes I fell in love with was Ride's Leave Them All Behind.  This sounds nothing like that - but would have been influenced in the title!!

Leave It All Behind II

This is a reworking of the track 'Lighter Fluid' from 2006's Sonambuilism.  Th original is pretty much intact - except cut down from the sprawling 9 and half minutes - meandering trip hop with no hook or direction!!  Here we've got some dance vocals meant for about 135 BPM, feeling much more thoughtful and intimate when brought in at 100 bpm. 

echoes of imogen heap's hide and seek in here - not just because those words are in the vocals. though no vocoder has been used.  just waves harmonies, which is damn excellent.

Better Stay Away From Me

icarus

This is a 2025 remake of the track 'Roger Williams' from Sonamnulism in 2006.  The original name came from spending 2 weeks in New York and living in that hotel in Midtown.  I'd been to NYC once before only for a couple of days, so this was awesome.  8-9 years later, I very nearly moved there to live.  Everything was organised, and then I pulled out at the last minute after my salary was being cut to lower than in Singapore - with a massive hike in taxes.
anyhow, back to this track - it was written when i got to London.  A long ambient dub fest, where I even reecording my own singing on it.  which is very rare for that time.  
everything's pretty much kept here.  added some female vocals (giving the new track name).  some synths remapped from Atmosphere that I used back in 2006 to Omnisphere.  a touch of extra percussion and drum fills, a proper mix and master.  and here we go!
