The darkness has come to haunt Reg again..... The Darkness comes again Disbeliever what is your name Your calling out from the dark again I hear your words but there not what they say in my mind there as clear as mud The trodden…

My mother was telling me a story the other day and at one point she used the phrase "I used to could..." and I thought it would make a good title for a funk jam, so I went home and recorded this. Hope you like it.

In the 90s I was in a band called "Tainted Angel" and we played this in a bar and after the first time people were calling out requests for it all night, so I ended up playing it about fifteen times that night, without receiving even one tip or…

This song is all about everyday life. working all week and living for the weekend.

Self explanatory song really, about those people who are selfish and think of no-one else but themself.

Original song: from the album, TheSongOfTheDay.com - November. This song was inspired, in part, by the balance (or imbalance) between the things that must be done in life (work, bills, etc), the things that one would rather be doing, and the constant…

A song of two halfs. First represents someone who is getting drunk and haing a really goodtime. And the second half of the song is when that persons personality changes and they get all agressive. (as for me i'm happy drunk, drink be happy &…

A song about those people that always pick on a person when that person is feeling down,vulnerable and weak.

re-imagined as a fingerpicked folk song

Tried to keep this one straight up the middle

About the local authority saying that they can't really do anything to stop the problems in society.

A song that tackles that point in life where you want or need the answer to your question(s), but they have no real answer, so fob you off with some lies.

This song tackles the subject of a close friend to someone who passed away the very next after having a such a good laugh with them the day before, and wondering if there is an after-life and will they ever see them again.

A song about a one-sided relationship, where one party is giving and the other is just taking and plain ignorant. (i'm not bitter) ;)

I re-imagined this Neil Young Folky song as an acoustic blues song.

About those kind of friends that just come around when they want something, and if they don't get it. Go off and slag you off behind your back. But your true friends tell you about it.

Another song with a tricky subject about child cruelty. From the childs perspective.

Technically it's OK; I like the guitar and basslines. The lyrics and vocals I'm not so fond of. I hoped to have enough time to replace this one later in february with a better one but alas, it was not to be...

There is a Dutch expression Luchtfietsen/Luchtfietserij which I transated as Skycycling. It's a term for unrealistic plans/dreams. Another recent Dutch expression is Linkse Hobby (leftist hobby/leftwing hobby) which was coined by rightwingers…

The lyrics are pretty selfexplanatory; it's about so-called magic-pill-solutions. The doubletracked "guitarsolos" could have been better but I only recorded them on the last day and thought it might be OK a little rough and off. I did them really…

I had to write a lyric for this one on the last day and really had no good ideas. So, as the title says... A bit of a shame as I kinda liked the vocal melody and bassline. It's one of the lesser tracks now (together with the first one)

Someone, somehow, changed my original text about this song. Whoever did that damn him/her to hell.

Hey, Christians have gospelmusic. Godless heathens like me sometime have to let off steam too. One of my best songs I think. Drumloops from http://realmusicmedia.net/samples.html (I used them in track 5 too)

For the lyrics I tried to "paint a picture" rather than tell a story or make a clear point. I was thinking of Caroline No by the Beach Boys about a girl who suddenly lost the glow of youth. The lyric is not quite succesfull but... it will have…

Wanted to write lyrics for this one, but ran out of time :(

One of two tracks done in Renoise. A lot of the samples are various binary files from my computer loaded as sound files!

I've been listening to a lot of Meshuggah since the last RPM.

NECROGEDDON

We need a ton of coal.

My contribution for Johnny with Norms excellent percussion. I've given it a bit of an Indian twist.......

Lyrics Steven Chugg Music Errol Chugg Produced by Ken Barken Studios

While Reg was travelling the country he met an old Indian gentleman called Abdul Aziz in a newsagents in the city of Bradford in the North of England while buying his morning paper. Reg struck up a conversation with the old man and they got on…

A club-mix of my first electronical production from last year. I tried out some VST-Effects I haven't used before. The name "Kater" is german and can be translated into "hangover" and "male cat", probably i had an hangover when I produced it :)

This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…

It's about a few folks, some known, some known to me. I liked the chunkiness of the chord that starts it, but wanted to do something a little more 'spacey' than a pure rock number. It's all true too.

A little fun riff that came from noodling on my Epi whilst watching the idiot box one night. It's kind of written for a friend who is a little lost in a self-imposed exile from life.

A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!

Songs sometimes are best left to the listener. This is one of them.

Hello 1977! This song sounds like 1977 to me. So, I totally played it up, right down to the reverb on the vocals. Enjoy.

The title track to the new album. Turn it up. Listen all the way through and there's some ear candy at the end for you. ;)

A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track – A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Norm’s percussion, added a track where I speak Evan’s poem and did some remastering…

I was thinking about what I hadn't done so far - no instrumental, no synth, no vibraslap, no cowbell - so I just tossed all that stuff together. The title is in memorial of my brother's recent appendicitis. Edit: I admit that I did a remix…

I woke up with this in my head, including the first line of the lyrics. If you dream it, you must record it, that's my rule.

I'm convinced I've lifted this melody from somewhere, and I'm sure somebody will soon let me know that I have.

I had an incredibly hard time putting this together, and then at the end it fell together better than I could have ever hoped. I guess I should scream my head off more often.

This was another song I wrote ahead of time. I end up enjoying these the least, but it gives me something to record on February 1st.

I've been told that the lyrics are a bit "creepy". I guess I should note that my songs are NOT autobiographical!
