Sleep Fell

unreleased apart from appearing on Klaus Pelzer's  very limited edition 50 song triple album collection. I will be ever grateful to him for saving these recordings. I never performed it. All instruments samples music and vocals recorded at Gringos sometime ca 1999.  My mother always wanted a Winniebago. She loved to stop anywhere along the road when she and my father went for a drive on Sundays and drink tea which she always brought in a Thermos flask along with sandwiches. She said the best cup of tea was the one you had by the side of the road. She may have been right. This song tells the story of the trip home for her funeral. It was all a bit of a blur.

The Song Is King III

Winniebago

Another rescued track from Klaus Pelzer's collection. I loved to use a portable mini-disc with an external mic to make samples.
The water sound : The Corrib close to the Weir in Galway city. 
The voices : Michael Jordan and Arlo P.
Recorded ca.1995

Is it on?(Instrumental)

text and music: Pyne
In the springtime everybody whats to be loved and a pregnant feeling permeates the air
I do believe it's universal. our little town in quite provincial
 It 's time that everybody got down
Down to the heart of the matter and matters of the heart...

Find somebody on the same train
Get off at the same station
Collaboration is so amazing it enhances every situation
Embracing strangers has its danger 
but its sure to bring some changes 
It's time that everybody got down
