this is the extended version of lifeless c where lifeless c is a cut out of lifeless b probably will not be a lifeless a as that the lifeless a source has about and hour extra recorded that would need to be considered .. maybe with a different…

Breakbeat

a bit smaller in length, a bit more up lifting, at least it makes me feel like lifting my arms up into the air when i listen... WN is a dialogue between two sides, so i suppose this is the section where the angles get their say,,,, dedicated to…

One strike and you are out.

RPM 2011

This is just a clip of me messing around with Garage Band software. Running my guitar into my laptop using the built in effects.

Acoustic guitar instrumental.

Life is so much better with Jesus in it.

Written about 26 years ago, re-recorded for RPM.

Blues Rock with a twist. Wouldn't mind some production pointers on this one.

Kind of a dark song. Acoustic guitar and vox with a weird synth part.

Another Apple Garage Band session. I thought this had a little bit of a Joe Satriani feel to it so called it Satcheroni. :) I'm nowhere near the level of the guy, but he is an influence. Just me plugged in to the laptop again, using the Garageband…

Part spoken word, part electronica, part art-rock, but just plain weird!

For my beautiful and and darling wife.

Drums by Richard Chouinard. Odd-Rock with a slice of avante'-weirdo.

Yep.

Last cut on the CD

570-580nm 525-515THz RPM 2011

This is a synopsis of Reg's favourite movie put to music. Sorry about the length but what can you do, when you have a story to tell, you can't cut it short can you? This is one to download for the car to listen to on that boring journey or when…

this is the first warm-up part to the lifeless b and lifeless c parts of lifeless a that were cut and layered as well we decided here it sounds extraterrestrial crickets in space 1.

A small tribute to "Alien" (a horror movie from 1979 directed by Ridley Scott")

Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots. When…

This is for everyone who ever gave a hand when they were needed.

I like to play 'hard to get' with people who arn't all that interested in me.

This is for when you get blocked out...

This was the last piece recorded for the album, I wrote it over 10 years ago after the death of my Grandmother. The events of February 22 in my homw town of Christchurch, New Zealand, the earthquake that broke our city, put me in a similary sombre…

Still looking for Miss Right...

I had a go at channeling Ray Charles for this one, I just forgot to channel his talent.

This was originally a much longer gospel style song about meeting the devil at the crossroads and selling him my car, I got discouraged when I put down the scratch vocals and realised that no ammount of overdubs could possibly make me sound like…

Ok, Who HASN'T had the fantasy about the hot librarian? This was originally intended to be sung by a friend of mine with a much higher range, but a massive earthquake disrupted the schedule. I wound up singing it down an octave, trying to do…

A major thing, This began as I sat down to lunch and did some musing about my old wind-up gramophone, as food poisoning set in I spent the rest of the day lying in bed thinking of lyrics, getting up to type them in, throwing up, and going back…

bonus from yesterday

Inform your decisions All your conditions (But what is the spread, what a sure excuse) desert your ideals For what appeals (So easy to stay undercover girl) Heal Thyself is what you say Lost in thought in the self help section The closer…

Enervate what's in your head No time to talk? A leak instead And yet you wait and yet you wait A break a drain a mottled stain You're Clouding over ambered pain Standing still you're standing still You're never tempted so you've never…

Old school art rock Red clay still shot White board wet rotting fall away No time on the clock It's over mop it up A little left for a holiday Well it's time to stop the routine You might say it just another phase of the game But now…

You are beautifully taken when you have the upper hand when you're in high demand A Lady in Waiting but steady when cloying, precious toying precocious with hunger “Beware” but nobody hears Your wilting complaint "aren't you petty but…

You’re painting a dead end Capturing traces Of throwaway faces You memorize lines You smother your fire To better appeal to the maddening crowd I'm aware Setting you dead to rights when it's easy to blame you for finishing fine When…

There's still a way you rise at dawn Before I feel I don’t belong Before we lock into the worries of the day Yet every morning brings romance A short reprieve a second chance With every heartache comes the hope that I am wrong And…

You know I'm not perfect But I admit when I am wrong I know how to ask for favors One too many times from you But I can be a kinder soul Far better than a polished fool So when you find me falling, ask for grace Don't despair again…

Falsely You call me Desperately At least when it's my turn quickly You agree You're killing off the ways that you could be Someone who's willing to live Or willing to learn Falsely You call me Desperately At least when it's my turn…

Linda spins without a care Idle thoughts twirling in the air Never quite a mystery Never choosing what she wants to save She escapes substantial loss By adding interest to her cause A little death a shallow say Never paying for her shallow…

I’ve seen the trimmings you destroy The kindness that you avoid Our subtle ways our sad affairs Our vagrant airs dissolve to noise What do you contemplate you're standing still Your posture motivates the scene You still don’t understand…

A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010. It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...
