We move miles away from Bristol trip-hop and take a trip to Paris. This Daft Punk-inspire piece really allowed me to lighten up a bit during the lonely production stages.

I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.

The album kicks off with one of the gritter, darker songs. The amazing, gravely voice you hear is that of Linda Harrison.

Paper Girls is one of those tracks which I wrote based on my experiences that I hope others can relate to in their own way. Soft, breathy vocals courtesy of Anezka Piska.

This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…

Experimentation with taking quiet sounds and compressing the hell out of them. Drum fills courtesy of Chris Thomas.

You live long enough... you take some real hits. And the only way to get on, is, to, "Pick myself up, walk down the long long road". Lifes real easy when it's all theoretical, but it's never been lived until the theories and philosophies are trashed…

Some shun or dare not partake in the discussion of passing on from this life. Many search for meaning and fanciful places to reside, after their earthly shells have been left behind. This song is sweet reminder that ignoring and falsifying of…

A tale of the lonely soul who is desperate to feel connection. The Asterisk Zero is the child who opens fire on fellow school children, with no understanding of the depth and complexity of the pain they are causing. This song is a soul searching…

This is the first song that was completed with vocals by Vinyette. It is inspired by a dream or nightmare really. The scene is set in purgatory, which happens to be a dark subway train running at full tilt into an abyss of track lighting. The…

Pouring Rain by A Beautiful Scene
This year I thought of you, far too many times

Of things that’ve become over there and they…
And how do I know…

After hearing people day in and day out wish for the weekend, I felt the need to write a song to remind them that they were essentially wishing their life away. This music is funk/blues with a Meters feel.
Uploaded
I had to work with a musican that had a huge ego problem. I finally had to express my frustration with that musician in song. This is a James Brown funk feel with a pop hook.
Uploaded
I really feel that love and compassion are much more important than physical beauty and this song is about that belief. It has a Stevie Wonder R&B feel to it.
Uploaded
Living in Milwaukee and driving throught the ghetto and working with kids from the hood, I felt compelled to tell their story in song. This song is funk like Sly and the Family Stone.
Uploaded
This one is for every woman looking for a good man. It is a blend of R&B and blues. Feels good and sounds good too.
Uploaded
I became fed up with all the half truths and lies that the nationw was told by Bush Jr. and had to put my frustrations to music. The feel of this is New Orleans Blues.
Uploaded
This is a John Lee Hooker feel that is fun to dance to.
Uploaded
This is a smooth R&B feel that I wrote for my wife. This one's for the lovers.
Uploaded
This is a heavy, dirty shuffle that I wrote after reading some pretty heavy stuff about the poor in the US.
Uploaded
I had a falling out with a long time friend when I wrote this song. It has a Ray Charles/Aretha Franklin gospel/blues feel.
Uploaded
This song is has an old school blues medium shuffle feel.
Uploaded
I have lived in Milwaukee for six years now and I felt I had to write a song for the city. This has a Muddy Waters feel with harmonica.
Uploaded
I wrote this song for a singer that used to be with the band. After you listen to it, you'll get a good feel for her. This is a Delta Blues feel.
Uploaded
I wrote this song after living in Milwaukee for awhile. The ghetto is a hard place to grow up and live. Things become normal there that shouldn't be normal. It's quite sad.
Uploaded
I was thinking about people who live in run down hotels when I wrote this song and had been listening to alot of Robert Cray at the time.
Uploaded
This is a minor blues about a hard breakup in the vein of Luther Allison.
Uploaded
This has a Delta/Muddy Waters feel to it and it was fun to record. The E stands for my daughter's name Ehlona and the A for my wife's name Amy and both the song and my home feel a bit like a train.
Uploaded
My bass player at the time really loved thick women and so I wrote him a song. It's him singing on this one.

I wrote this for a friend of mine and every word is true. You should meet her.

This is the first version of the song we recorded with our original singer.
Uploaded
This song has a rock element and a latin jam at the end.
Uploaded
This song was written by the bass player and is a massage for the ears. This has a jazz/blues feel.
Uploaded
This is a John Lee Hooker feel that we just jammed on in the studio. I don't really like Gritz that much but the name seemed to fit.
Uploaded
This is the title track of this album. I wrote it about a girlfriend my friend had at the time. She was a bit of a gold digger. This is a shuffle with a Luther Allison feel.
Uploaded
This has got that southern blues thing going on.
Uploaded
I wanted to write a tradional blues with just accoustic guitar and so here it is. I think most people have that one person they wish they wouldn't of left or would of asked out. I know I do.

This is a nice T Bone Walker shuffle feel. This song, like all our albums, feature Rob Waters from the Lonnie Brooks Band.

two quotes off some TCM-movie and an edited Lady Gaga interview pretty much make up the vocal portion of the track. the rest was born from the fat beats i started out with.
