Dedicated to my friend Paul Lennon.
Once You asked me
If I could see the end
It's okay to tell the truth
I don't want you to pretend
And I said I would not lie
But I don't believe it ends
It goes on And on Forever Forever
It goes on…

As with pretty much all of our stuff, it's all recorded live with microphones.... Plenty of overdubs, but no samples, loops, or what have you. Treefrog on the drums, me on the rest of it.

The first WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
There ain't nothin' I could buy
that can ever calm me down
So I leave my money at home
when I go into town
I put on my fightin' hat
an' I wear my dancin' shoes
An' if I miss my ride…
You've got the buttons
that are made out of my bones
You've got the ghost of me
that still can stitch them on
And ev'ry time you close your vest
you will hold me near
But that's as close as I'll ever get
to you my dear, I fear
Up in…
On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand
and sky…

"I'll know it when I see it"
Is what she finally said
"If there was some other way
I'd do that instead"
And blindly without question
I followed down that trail
That led into the hidden night
Beyond the parted veil

This song…
I'm still getting around to re-upping everything I took down last October.... this is one of them, and if I recall correctly, this is the track that was the impetus for Paul & I to start collaborating. (Something I've been missing a lot…

still think your vocals sound like mark lanegan. You got that mysterious folk sound. If you don't listen to him, listen to him. The winding sheet from around 1990 atleast.

This song…
Another loop - not recorded that well and don't have the time to do much with it, but here it is none the less. The title more or less is a reflection on my life at the moment. Using the same junk I always do...
This is a piece of happy, dancy synth music. It is kind of old school, so much so in fact that it actually features a genuine vintage analog synthesizer - a Roland JX-8P.

Just a sketch dedicated to cheap, shi**y coyote lighters. It's winter and I'm freezing my hands off trying to light a cigarette. Cheers.. The drum loop is crap, need to replace it with something better (as I said - just a sketch).
Excellent jam, perfect driving music... looking forward to hearing what you do with the drums. This track has the things I love about bands like Ozric Tentacles & Titan.
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
[Thanks to Helen and Colin for coming to my aid with the warblings! :) ]
When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
Thamyris invented the 8 string Cithara and challenged the muses to a musical duel. His punishment for losing was to have his hands cut off. Now all he can do is imagine one last chattar solo as he takes his last breath. The gods have taken away…
This came about after the death of a friends wife from lung cancer. He said that he would sit at the kitchen table and talk to the empty chair just like she was still there.
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
My first Christmas original just off the presses with that cowboy, spaghetti western style.
Paul: Why don't you try Jingle Bells or something
Geas: Oh God,No, I hate the classics... that sucks......
Paul: Yea that does suck. Try emmmm, Oh Holy…

Conjures up a dark image in my mind. I wish I could shoot the video for this one. She would be wearing black.
Real nice atmospheric feel here. Smooth and deep. Def not a throwaway. PS. I put up the lyrics to my "Cricket Song" for your viewing pleasure. Thanks.
Nice experimental track
Very nice sweet song.

What a great track! Reminiscent of the popular synth music of my teenage years... except much better!
Excellent jam, perfect driving music... looking forward to hearing what you do with the drums. This track has the things I love about bands like Ozric Tentacles & Titan.
