02 – Falling Down Again. Written 17th/18th Feb. Recorded 17th/18th/19th Feb.
A slightly schizophrenic pop song, with a vocal section that also betrays me wanting to be a Beach Boy. Worryingly there is actually a red sticky trickle that seeps…
04 – Machiavellian Ways. Written 5th Feb. Recorded 5th/9th Feb.
Mark Morriss has written some really witty triple rhymes in a slightly country fashion, and I wanted to try it too. Although I am not sure if I succeeded, I had fun - and got…
I think you posted this early on in Feb on rpmc - fell in love instantly and thought that I gotta check this guy out some more. Good thing I found you here! Love your songwriting, and you have your production chops totally down.
10 – Strictly Rehearsed. Written 13th Feb. Recorded 13th/14th Feb.
More upbeat shenanigans, this time attacking someone’s who’s off the cuff remarks are pre-prepared (and written as crib notes on their cuffs).

03 – Meteorites. Written 2nd/3rd Feb. Recorded 3rd Feb.
Inspired by the film ‘Stardust’ where our hero meets a (literal) fallen star. The painful low vocals were particularly fun, and their emotional cracking was acting rather than the fact…

The cover I did off Uglifruit's 2010 RPM submission. The drums are a pair of hotrod sticks, that I made, hitting my keyboard table. The "kick drum is the stick hitting the pop screen while the mic was on.
I still need to fade...

great stuff!!!
Nice track :)
Thanks. I am very flattered and appreciate you taking the time to listen.
This is incredible. The harmonies here are spot-on, and the production is pretty perfect.
Great songs. Great harmonies. Kind of Beach Boys meets Roger Waters.
Theres nothing ugly about this! Love the vocals! Very Beach Boysesque. Reminds me of Pet Sounds.

@Will I Ram. Whilst I've written smut before, I don't *think* that was the intention here!
30th March. Replaced with a slightly alternative mix. (Wasn't happy with the first one, on reflection.)
This gets my official 'thumbs up seal of approval'. I really enjoyed what you have done with this.
The mellotron sound is Meltron 1.0 (freeware vst) by ArtiFake. For a freebie I found it very usable, and it's found all over this album.

Apoloigies, I didn't log in. Just saying this song is great. It reminds me of the Kinks - which is A Good Thing.
Thanks. I am very flattered and appreciate you taking the time to listen.
