Seen from Yesterday, by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

SEEN FROM YESTERDAY
Keeping secrets is easy when there’s no one to tell
Isolation phonograph records it oh so well
Enforced in solitude I stare at the wall
Understanding archetypes is like playing pinball

They tell you you’re winning but you don’t understand
It’s languishing anguish from a bright shiny man
Keeping to his scheming he’s oh so intense
Comprehending techno-geeks with more brains than sense

Summon up the darkness good cover for all sin
Creationism cretins wear suits made of tin
Epigraphic entities sleeping in their shells
Carmelites and neophytes find the joys of Hell

This arrangement by Dark Company.

Performers:
‘Speedy’ Pete Greatorex – vocals
Zakk Black – guitar
Barry Bridges – guitar
Josh Reynes – synths, programming
Maxx Damage – bass
Sven Stiglund – drums, programming

Fun Facts:
* The lyrics for this song were written 14th – 16th January 2012.
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of and his vocals were lifted from the demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. 🙂
* When Pete sang his part, his timing was somewhat atemporal and required a fair amount of moving and stretching.
* This song is literally just a demo and will need a great deal more work before it is considered 'done'.

Russell Nomer delivers a raw, satirical, and darkly humorous take on military life with his country track, "Operation Enduring Cluster Fuck." Pulling no punches, the song dives headfirst into the chaotic reality of deployment, lampooning bureaucratic blunders, hazy strategies, and the classic inter-service rivalries between the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.

From the "PX Commandos" claiming questionable Purple Hearts to the "muddy leg infantry" on the front lines, and the good-natured jabs between "Squids" and "Devil Dogs," Nomer captures the shared gripes, cynical laughter, and unbreakable camaraderie forged in the midst of absurdity. It's a ground-level view of navigating the military machine, celebrating the "brotherhood of blunders" where soldiers find humor and connection despite the chaos.

If you appreciate outlaw country storytelling, military humor with a bite, and songs that tell it like it is, give this one a spin. It's a toast to the messy pride worn by those who've served.

Operation Enduring Cluster Fuck

Now, The Light, by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

NOW, THE LIGHT
Make me a retard, lower the sky
I wanted to know but I didn't know why
Previous pressuring updates the need
Hothouse flowers each grown from seed

Now light me up, light me up
L-l-l-l-light me up
Light me up, light me up
L-l-l-l-light me up

Trilobytes flourish in an ancient sea
Nobody ever swims for free
Trapped in ignorance beneath the road
The way lit only by rocks that glowed

Now light me up, light me up
L-l-l-l-light me up
Light me up, light me up
L-l-l-l-light me up

Spiritual confusion often is fun
So you don't know where you're from
Be the 'you' that they want you to be
They will tell you what they want you to see

Now light me up, light me up
L-l-l-l-light me up
Light me up, light me up
L-l-l-l-light me up

Call Veronica, tell her the news
She's gotta get off my blue suede shoes
Life goes on but I'm too short
Haven't the fare but I can be bought

Now light me up, light me up
L-l-l-l-light me up
Light me up, light me up
L-l-l-l-light me up

* The lyrics for this song were written 1st June 2013.
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of and his vocals were lifted from the demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. 🙂
* It was during the editing of this track that the main studio computer suddenly decided to mangle itself beyond all recognition, causing weeks of delay and expensive replacement parts to be bought.
* Fortunately no data was lost due to our cunning back-up strategies.
* This song is a piece of classic rock in a Britpop style.
* It is in the key of G and features the gratuitous use of D7 and Cmaj7 chords.

Rainy Afternoon by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

RAINY AFTERNOON
You see ropes around their necks
They’re just there for fun
Not tied or hitched in any way
Nothing from them is swung
Just for fashion, darkened passion
Against their milk white gowns
As every night they slowly fall
And in my senses drown

Carpet tiles wreathed in smiles
Lingering on my landing
Dumbly coloured and poorly lit
They have their understanding
Arriving packed in neat bound stacks
And pulled tight with a band
If laid out in certain shapes
A door to another land

Gaudy chalk in boxes marked
Lying there just for taking
No price or test of any sort
Just for pictures making
And beware to have some care
Of what you use them for
What drawings that you do create
Or they'll come back for more

Performers:
‘Speedy’ Pete Greatorex – lead vocal
Zakk Black – lead and rhythm guitars
Barry Bridges - guitar
Maxx Damage – bass
Sven Stiglund – drums

FUN FACTS:
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of and his vocals were lifted from the very rough demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. :)
* The original lead guitar had a dirty sound that simply didn't work, but when Zakk used a clean tone, all the parts suddenly sounded good.
* Pete actually deviated somewhat from the lyrics he wrote when he sang this, perhaps due to tiredness or being unable to see the lyrics very well.
* The melody he sings remains the same throughout if you want to try singing along.
* The key changes weave an audible illusion of variations that are not actually there.
* The lead guitar is played on Nicodemus.
* The guitar in the right channel is Barry on the ESP, with Zakk playing the Ice Maiden to the left.

Dark Company: Rainy Afternoon (alpha mix)

Pluperfect, by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

PLUPERFECT
Tabletop toyset map of the world
Jigsaw planisphere, edges all curled
Worn out games book, puzzles all done
I looked inside to see what I'd won
I'd won a seat on the train to Strangeville
Or a place on the daily treadmill
I'd won a ticket to a 'no prize' win
Or a packet of bent penny pins

Mandelbrot paint set, infinity waits
Half finished painting of a garden gate
Last year's calender was there on the wall
I checked the dates, was I there at all?
I looked out the window, was I laying low
Or was I waiting for the Late Late Show
I couldn't figure out where I'd gone
But I must have done cos I lingered on

Sinewave eyeballs in a metal made head
Robotic vision that can see through lead
Nostradamus quatrains I could decode
Told me I was going into overload
Told me I'd lived twice every day
That I had to listen to what I'd say
Told me I'd had way too much fun
That I should have walked when I'd run

Decide to Ride, by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

DECIDE TO RIDE
Reaction to refraction, a bent-stick water view
Administer situations to part of Heaven's crew
Stand smartly dressed against the rail
Uniforms with matching sails
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along

Inspected kinetics moving minds around
Archetypal archetypes esoteric sounds
Take a stand now on the stairs
Under signs saying "On The Air!"
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along

Checkerboard collectors, gamers of rare delights
Whale bone dice believers gifted with second sight
Braided caps placed there just so
Each one ready to stay or go
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Should we go along
Should we go along
Should we go along
Should we go along

Performers:
‘Speedy’ Pete Greatorex – vocals

Maxx Damage – bass
Sven Stiglund – drums

Fun Facts:
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of and his vocals were lifted from the very rough demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. :)
* The VST plugins didn't make the right kind of piano sound somehow so this is from the TG33.
* The guitar part is played on the Stratocaster.
* The trumpets come from the Akai S900 and a VST plugin called DSK Brass.
* There is an argument between the bass, which plays a C, and the piano and guitar, which play a C#, which has a wonderful emotive quality but which ceases to work when anything else is present.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
