I loved this reading when I first heard Reg do it
and noticed your desire to add music.
Well, what you have produced here Chris is ideal and I love the way it is longer than the poem which
enhances the atmosphere.

Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

Andrew, sorry - I wasn't even think of that even though I saw a live show video by HAIM where some young ladies from southern California ripped that cover song up! Worth a search!

Way to bring the jam to the people! Nice improv!
Is this stretched? It reminds me of jelly fish too. (You crack me up Bee!)
Well oh my, and OF COURSE this would be spot on! Reg's spoken word is...alarmingly attractive in this one. Swoooon! Sandbags x (OK, no, this is Tess)
Stirring and bold tapestry! The mix is amazing! Tess S
Agree with Kavin- Great work!
Sounds well creepy. I like the feeling of the ebb and flow. Reminds me of jelly fish!
Great work yawl. Even rivals the great Vincent Price's recitation.
Dark and ominous......switch those lights on......
Very much enjoyed that.
I think you guys need to team up and go on tour.
Very trippy song! Also, thanks for your advice I am on both Last.fm and Thesixtyone, although I only made a profile on thesixtyone a week ago.
very nicely, spoken, and very nicely, enhanced,,
This is wonderful.
Love it Chris you've turned it into a silk purse from my Pigs ear........
Oh, I was reading it up. What a lot of uses it has. Your track sounds incredible through head phones. I enjoyed it very much.

Good work! And yeah a mask is the only way to fly
Some really interesting music that obvious had its own life!
Wow... this is such touching melancholy. It has touch of gospel but so, so sad.
Excellent! I love the drive and the feeling that this is music about to explode from its own intensity.
got chills listening to this!
Great textures!
certainly Clapton has nothing on you!
this is great!
