Terrible recording due to my old studio set up dying, but a nice keepsake of just how bad things became before the rebuild.
Lyrics by Brent Kinder.
With piano by Igor Alexeev.
With music written and performed by Soundsmith Kamachi.
It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…
With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
With the electrorgasmic Aged Machine, written and recorded for the RPM Challenge 2012.
Sabotaged by the coffin card girl
Rode out of the cartomancy world
I'm soaking and sick of this
Of being a bee sting because he doesn't know a good…
Extra long intro....Give it a minute.
This is a rough mix of a new tune.
I'm open to any changes if you want to do anything with it.

Ambient, building electric guitar instrumental, something like a cross between the late great Gary Moore and some softer stuff by Allan Holdsworth.
Imagine your spacecraft nearing a black hole, and the strain it puts on your vessel. Then, as…
Morning Glow
End of the line
Ahead of me just loneliness
Scanning the horizon - only emptiness
Losing heart for a while
As the twilight’s rolling in
Getting caught between the darkness and despair
Used to never fail
Used to find a…
NEEDLE'S EYE
the river of time is flowing bright
out into the void of empty night
we gaze at the ripples almost scared of what we’ll find
in search of the past we penetrate
the dream of an everlasting fate
we’re destined to find that…
STRING THEORY
A little playful and teasing sigh
A little twinkle in your eye
You’re a Devil, temptress, I am helpless
In front of you
On and off again
I’m your little plaything
Up and down I go
Puppet on a string
You let me go and…
TWICE IN A MILLION
Counted the flowers in my back yard
Dreamt of the games that I won and I lost
Sorted my ties in the closet
Had those old Father’s Day cards arranged
Love is an heirloom of a long time past
Almost not tempting…
A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…
Update: Paul took the first version and made it even better. So impressed with his talents. Thanks everyone for your kind words on the original. I know you'll like this version even more!
I was listening to some of Paul Lennon's great…
A trip back to the 80's, living out our Duran Duran dreams.
Tim played the roles of Simon, Nik, and Andy.
Grant was Roger.
Matt Parker was John.
Tess and Meg were Pepsi and Shirlie.
And Gary Fox played the role of Andy Hamilton.
Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
I love that you just went and did an album in 28 days for the joy of it...or because it seemed impossible with your time constraints. I would love to hear some of these (frankly) amazing songs re-done outside the parameters of the challenge. Sparks of genius here, Alex Moody.
ill make you happy
ill make you pleased
you stayed around
to find out who id be
and ill make you sure
you were right to hold on
when the whole world let go
and denied it knew me.
hey! nobodys saying
itll be all plain sailin
cos nothing…
if my mind goes
before I go
do me a favour
help me on my way?
yes if my mind dies
before I die
dont sit watching me talking nonsense
take that old fool out the game.
if my ability to hold a pee should
go astray
and im not a 100 percent…
More lo-fi noodlings for RPM. Featuring 2 year old daughter let loose on a box of instruments, and then messed with in goldwave. Will be a (poorly) hidden track on RPM album.. when there are actual songs on it.
RIP Tea Cozy Pete;
I was always the
one spilling out the pub drunk
early doors so me and he could speak
I knew his name he knew mine
id watch his smiling eyes shine
philosophising in the street
memory failed to remind me. strange. oh…
I am finding the lo-fi feel hard because I've been spoilt in the past with your awesome production...but you can't fault this song-writing! Brilliant, Alex.
