OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…

I figure if I keep trying long enough, I'll start channeling the great Django Reinhardt. Perhaps it's like squeezing blood from a stone but if I get a drop or two, I'm happy with that!

Sometimes a tune pops up right to left field. This is one of em! I backed it up with a stand-up bass track which I was intending to re-record before RPM submission but ran outta time.

I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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…

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.

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

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.

Self-explanatory. Sorry if it breaks your speakers :)

The obligatory ambient piece. I really wanted to experiment with balancing the bass and treble; it seems to have worked quite well. Bonus marks if you can identify any of the samples.

Well there ain't nothing, nothing you could ever do to break my heart again...

The lyrics continue the theme of the previous track, if you care about that sort of thing.

I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.

these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.
