Fun Facts:
* Phoenix in the Bin is a situation that will change.
* What would happen if you put a phoenix in your bin?
* Would it fit?
* Do you suppose it would stay there long?
* What would happen when it escapes?
* Would it set fire to things?
* Can you own one?
* If so, can you throw it away?
* This piece tries to examine these issues.
* Phoenix in the Bin describes change, volatility, uncertainty, blurred scenery, alcohol, cold wet November nights, and hope.
* Originally this tune was going to be called simply In the Bin, yet somehow the image of the phoenix seemed an appropriate addition.
* Dave tuned the Plank down to a low-A tuning – the lowest note on a piano – for this number, to match the key it’s in – A minor.
* The band listened to lots of samples of fires, but most of them didn’t sound like fires at all.
* A wonderful saturation of strings occurs in the section towards the end.
* It’s quite dense, with all the cellos and guitars and reverbs.
* Phoenix in the Bin contains more audio parts than any of the other tracks on the album At Least 1000 Words.
* It also took up the most space on the hard drive.
* Even after two bounces, it still filled the memory and was tricky to mix down.
* Flicker wanted an orchestra at the beginning, but alas, none was available.
* Lots of orchestral MIDI parts, that ended up sounding absolutely dreadful, were recorded and subsequently deleted again.
* The tempo is 130BPM.

Lliam Greguez is a macro ice photographer who captures freezing moments of a mountain stream and a creative arts therapist who, before C-19, used music to engage chronically ill children in five hospitals around New York City.

He also unlooses his experimental tendencies with five albums - a pair of Acoustic, a pair of Electric, and one Ambient. 

The acoustics are: Other People’s Children in English and La Yola in Spanish, the latter written by Dominican artist Luis Días. Each showcase uptempo acoustic music that could be labeled anti-pop with a unique essence accompanied by deliberative lyrics.

Then the two rock albums also contain one by Luis Días and one by the trio "Any of Several Weasels" reveling in the electric guitar sound. Luis' album is driven by Caribbean rhythms, while AoSW fuses punk and progressive.

Meanwhile, the "Look of Utter Disbelief" explores synth, sampling, and guitar improvisations.

Be sure to check out Lliam's website for a taste of his ice photography and stories from working with hospitalized children.

Recently, I have reduced my music and internet time. I apologize here that i can't reply to all comments. "2econd Skin" is a sideproject of https://soundcloud.com/temple-of-the-haunted-man for electronic, industrial, metal, ambient and soundtrack music.

Got.Knees is a UK-based solo project that makes strikingly intense yet melancholic music – a fusion of distortion-heavy guitars and whispering vocals that contemplate the state of inner self. 

Through interwoven sound effects, Got.Knees creates melancholic, reflective and eerie tones. Obsessed with every detail, Got.Knees explores the boundaries of alternative rock and ambient electronic music, entering its own space – lyrically and musically. 

Following a debut album Horror Vacui released in 2011, the solo act returns with newly inspired singles: The Ceiling, Read The Words, Bugs and Snails, and The Slide which unveil a complex and deeply emotional combination of sounds. 

Got.Knees continues working on new music which superimposes structure and chaos, sadness and hope, existence and nonentity.

The Black Bile, a second album has been released in March 2025.

* 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.
