INDIAN SUMMER
Burning incense on the breeze
Floats out of your room
Falling down the corridors of yesterday
Feel it in the air
Maybe it’ll be coming your way

Carry me away
Indian summer
Carry me away
It’s been so long
Carry me away

Standing on the doorstep
Dancing round the room
Rainbow dancing showers on the lawn
Never thought at all
That it would ever fade away

Carry me away
Indian summer
Carry me away
It’s been so long
Carry me away

Passing places full of you
No longer seems to be
Too far behind, too far away to see
If I close my eyes
I can sometimes drift away

Carry me away
Indian summer
Carry me away
It’s been so long
Carry me away

Fun Facts:
This version was the second or third take, fortunate really as Ken’s Flambeau acoustic had battleship chains for strings.
Paul wrote the little guitar lick at the start of the chorus from which the rest of the song develpoed.
Ken composed the lyrics, the vocal melody and the scat singing at the end.
The rest of the music was composed by George.
During more foolish moments, some of the lyrics were changed.
For example, “Burning insects on the breeze” and “It’s raining golden showers on the lawn” were often sung instead of the proper lyrics.
This song is about a lady from India who Ken knew in Richmond, Surrey, rather than warm weather in the autumn.

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

Feel Good Inc.

Yearning (Original mix) [Mastered]

An old iMS-20 tune remixed in Gadget using new modules. This is the first track I ever made both with KORG software and with iPad. A very boring day driving taxi turned to be very productive. Now I remixed the track using Gadget and its new modules.

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

HELPING HANDS
Rhyming time in vacuumed lines
I hear the verses soaring
On angels' breath the words of death
Like fingers they’re exploring
I feel the beat of racing wings
I understand all these things
Yet they are gone by morning

Dreaming scenes in deadbeat schemes
All are on back burners
Spirit words that just I heard
Said all the souls are learners
I know the touch of tender love
I also know it’s not enough
You need the ground that’s firmer

Corporate kings and financial things
Beyond our understanding
You can’t own the open sky
Not even by demanding
I like to think of hands in prayer
Though they’re just another layer
No one is left commanding

Livid sky mirrored in my eye
White cloud billows floating
When I look round there is no sound
The silence it is choking
Oh see me, hear me, give me signs
Let me feel them in my mind
Tell me, lead me to Heaven’s end
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping

Vocals and rhythm guitar recorded at Wud Records Studio One, Exeter, 2015.

FUN FACTS:
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of.
* His vocals were lifted from the very rough demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. :)
* This song is a piece of classic rock in a Britpop style.
* It is in the key of E at 91 BPM.
* All the guitars were played on Nicodemus, with a big painful hole in the thumb of the player.
* The chords in the verses are E B E C#m A E F# A Am6 E.
* In the third verse Pete (accidentally) introduces an unexpected key-change.
* There the chords are E B E Ebm G# Ebm F# A Am6 E.
* The chords in the instrumental section are E C/G D/A.
* Right at the very end it is E C7 E.
* The bass part from the last verse to the end is far more challenging to play than it sounds
* This produced a surprised "Huh? How did THAT happen?!" face on the player.
* Helping Hands is one of those magikal Dark Company songs that can invoke goosebumps in the listener, perhaps slightly surprisingly.

* 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.

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.
