I am concerned with the values of my generation.

Musical tribute to the ideas of Jane Jacobs (author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities) and Christopher Alexander (author of The Timeless Way of Building).

This track is the introduction to the main bulk of the album. It says "WELCOME TO RPM '09" and doesn't let you go until you've gotten to "Dancing With The Midnight Waves", the penultimate track.

A bit less percussion and a bit more rhythm was the idea for this. I say that, but the track had a fully formed drum track alongside it until right at the last when I discarded it in a fit of creative temperament.

Why this represents 1993 is really quite a mystery to myself. I was 2 years old, so I've no idea why it strikes me as such a dark and mysterious year. I think I managed to get down exactly what I was thinking with this track.

This is the end of the journey. It's time to maybe think and reflect about some of the things we heard and then forget we ever heard them.

Easily my favourite track on the album. This was a real forced number at the start of it's life; I was well behind my song quota (5 finished on the 23rd... time to worry) and I needed to knock something out at least. Something clicked about an…

this is based on the soundtrack of a film called september clues very interesting dunno if its true but fun all the same for conspiracy nuts....
