* After dark, when the moon is low in the sky, it makes a beautiful shiny road to itself all the way along the top of the sea.
* The moon always looks so beautiful on the sea at Sidmouth, where Flicker and their friends used to go.
* Sidmouth is bang in the centre of Lyme Bay, and the sea looks so big.
* The moonpath there was even better before all the breakwaters were built.
* The guitar parts for Moonpath were all played using the Ice Maiden, which is double tracked left and right.
* The rhythm guitar was the origin of the track and carries the melody as well.
* The tempo is 138 BPM and the key is C# minor.
* There are many hybrid chords involving fretted notes and harmoonics.
* Moonpath ends up on a B.

Flicker: Moonpath

That's No Way to Pay a Bodyguard by Wud

Words and music by George Davies.
Recorded and produced by Ian Dent at Daylight Recording Studios, Honiton.
Remastered at Wud Records Studio One.

Copyright © 1985 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1983 Explicit Music.

Performers:
Ken Staple – voices
George Davies – guitars

THAT’S NO WAY TO PAY A BODYGUARD
Well there’s whisky on the shelf
What are you running from?
Do you know if you’re coming or going?
Well I have got an idea
You’ll need someone to look after you
Just like I know that I can do

And you know that’s not what I want from you
And you know it’s over when the day is through

Well that’s no way to pay a bodyguard
I don’t want to be tied down
And I am so afraid of you
Because I know just what you can do

And you know that’s not what I want from you
And you know it’s over when the day is through

Fun Facts:
This song in the key of Am was written a few days after George spent a day in the Stokeinteignhead music studio of a friend of his father’s.
Said friend of father played the two chords that begin the song as he tested that the necessary things were all on.
Having never seen the second chord before, George thought “Aha!”, although he spent most of the day fiddling with the rather magnificent organ and all its sounds and buttons and levers.
The instrumental section that goes C-Bb-F-G-Am-Em-Bm-Dm originally had some lyrics that made a chorus that spoke of such things as sheep, fields, grass and the relative merits of the colours thereof.
These were soon dropped due to being too silly.
Fairly near the start of this version George almost makes a right mess of the lead guitar - again - but just about manages to get away with it.
It’s take 3407, or thereabouts.
The guitar used for this song was a Westone Paduak, which has subsequently seen a fair amount of action over the years and now lives at Cliff’s house.
The sound of the guitar was never really quite right on this recording.
It sounded much better when played through an Electric Mistress and a proper amplifier.
This version also misses the drums and bass guitar.
Ken is extremely restrained in the performance.
The title of this song was too long for the eventual cassette that was produced, and was truncated to simply Bodyguard.
This song was something a campfire favourite amongst the Wud posse.

That's No Way to Pay a Bodyguard

Wud: That's No Way to Pay a Bodyguard (DD)

Lyrics by P. Greatorex.
Music by G. Davies/P. Greatorex/J. Willmot.
Recorded, engineered and mixed at Silent Running Studios Exeter 1992-3.
Remastered at Wud Records Studio One.

Performers:

George Davies – guitars, sequencing

MEDICINES
I can see that dark-set face
Hands crawl by fingering fate
Parsely, sage, rosary of time
Herbs to heal the modern mind
A wounded lover with a clockspring heart
Hears not the Heavens only metal stars
Drinks the liquor of certain flowers
Is released from lust to count the hours
There inside a secret garden
There inside a secret garden

Night’s sweet hush is for us all
No creeping thing is too small
Wings and webs a mottled map
Dawn will take the empties back
A solo soldier with a gunmetal head
Hears only the music of the marching dead
Drinks the liquor of certain flowers
Is released from lust to count the hours
There inside a secret garden
There inside a secret garden

Writhing vines climb the hill
Where we stand so very still
Columbine perfumed dark
The whitest flowers an eternal spark
A parish priest with a Bibled mouth
Speaks unnoticed of God and Doubt
Drinks the liquor of certain flowers
Is released from lust to count the hours
There inside a secret garden
There inside a secret garden 

Fun facts:
This song is in the key of A#.
George plays the guitar parts on the Ice Maiden.
Jeff played his bassline into the S900.
When Pete sang the melody to George for the first time it took him ages to decide which of the multitude of different possibilities to go with.
There are two simultaneous guitar solos at the start of the song, both of which were recorded on the first take.
Pete was initially sceptical about the whispered vocal.
Various acoustic versions of this later appeared with the song transposed down to A.
It was performed by The Bastard Sons of Dennis and Dr Watson and used as a teaching resource by George in his TEFL classes.
Some of the bassdrum and snare parts were recorded by randomly bashing keys and then quantising.
It produced some remarkably pleasing results.

Won't You Come Around My Way by Rough Terrain

Lyrics by G. Davies.
Music by G. Davies/D. Bouget/J. Peirce/A. Richardson.

Engineered, mixed and produced by Paul Bateman.
Recorded at Daylight Recording Studios, Honiton, summer 1988.
Remastered at Wud Records Studios 2010. 

Copyright © 1988 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1986 Explicit Music.

Performers:
Andy Richardson - vocals
George Davies – guitars, vocals
Jerry Peirce - fretless bass, vocals
Danny Bouget - drums, percussion, vocals

WON'T YOU COME AROUND MY WAY
Well I’ve come around here and I ain’t doing much
Just paying a visit to keep in touch
After a while I try the upstairs flat
There’s nothing to say when we’ve run out of chat

Well I knock on the door of this guy I hardly know
And he greets me
I stay for a while then I’m wanting to go
But this other guy’s got something on his knee
What could that be…?!

Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way

There’s four of us here, we’re not saying a word
One’s looking out of the window
We’re sitting around and we can hear the sounds
Of music on the stereo
And rustling…

Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way

Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way

I hear a click and I see a spark so I turn around
In the centre of a cloud of smoke
I see a man with a big grin on his face
And who can blame him

Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way
Won’t you come around my way

Fun Facts:
Originally this song started with just the whole tone scale ascending and diminished scale descending, then went into the main riff of the song.
The bluesy jam was invented mostly by Danny just for fun and Rough Terrain kept it.
Jerry’s fretless bass was known as the Stretched Cat.
The whole band contributed to the vocals of this song, with Andy and Danny singing the harmonies.
This version sounds somewhat unlike the live version of the song that Rough Terrain performed as there was no acoustic guitar or extra percussion parts involved on stage and the sound was more raucous.
The acoustic guitar belonged to Daylight Studios and was a Fender with seriously heavy strings.
The ‘Oh Lord’ parts were entirely Andy’s doing on the day and never part of the original plan for the song.
These days those parts make him cringe.
This song can claim the gratuitous usage of a 13th chord - B13 in fact.

Won't You Come Around My Way

Rough Terrain: Won't You Come Around My Way

Live Cover of the Gorillaz Feel Good Inc. Performed at Duke St studios recorded by Meirion Townsend 

Feel Good Inc.

Born by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09.

* Born is in the key of E minor.
* It was first performed by Laughing Sun in 1985.
* There are many changes of tempo throughout, some subtle, some not.
* One of the changes that Jim introduced was replacing two of the B minors with G majors during the main ascending theme.
* The main ascending theme is ten bars long, four measures of 2.5 bars.
* This version has slightly mangled audio to start on the right hand side but it sorts itself out before long when the beats kick in.
* Pok plays Marsha, a pale gold 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II.

BORN
Can she see?
Will she be?
Saintly lady by the water
Faintly fiery fisher’s daughter

And you see nothing is as it is
Nothing is as it ought to be
And you see it’s back to where we began
Back so far you’re out in front again…

It’s time.

Born – you were meant to be
Born – into the family
Born – we were meant to be
Born – into the family

Words and music by Simon Miller.

* 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.
