I wrote and recorded the original extremely low-fi tape at home in 1984 on a Tascam four-track.. Its flattering to have others recording their own versions. Its also interesting how different people hear the lyrics differently. For example the line sung here as "spotlight on a wake" was actually "spotlights on a wig" as i wrote it. Lol. Thanks for covering my greatest non-hit.
Recorded in 2005.
The keyboard sound in the second half is a backwards electric piano processed through a triggered filter (kind of like a Mutron III).
Muted the vocals cos I'm not too pleased with the lyrics or performance.

...yes, the night the dead are raised to dance their macabre dance - not a piece for guitar, I think. Nicely done.
I’m a fan of spaceship noises and haunted planetscapes.
I love phase shifters and long, sarcastic walks on the beach.
I’m also half of the electromechanical ambient duo Oil On Canvas and was previously a member of King Ink in the early 90s.
These tunes generally represent my more pop/accessible side.
