This is just me playing. No post-production – everything as out of tune and out of time as when I played it and made up the words as I went along. Still, it has jaunt.

So – here’s the new L1NA (hm.. working title still..) song. This track started with a sound I heard in a dream while I was staying in the mountains of Japan. I woke up and picked up the laptop I’d belligerently brought with me on the holiday trip, and miraculously managed to reproduce the sound I’d heard in my dream.

We decided this would be a nice L1na track so I put constructed an approximate backing track. Halina insisted on recording her ‘dodgy lyrics’ on the highest quality equipment I could lend her. She emailed the words back to me and I set them back into the track, and a few tinkerings later, this is the result.

I hope you will enjoy it. This one could make you happy.

You can see Halina’s running commentary on our collaborations at lina.grimacworks.com

The first time Halina came to do some music with me, this was the image I had in mind – I wanted to make a song where I’m pointing a gun at a frightened girl’s head and forcing her to sing. Couldn’t say why…

You may have heard Halina’s version of the track over at lina.grimaceworks.com—well this is my version (using the same vocal parts from the original – recorded by Halina ‘late and night with the neighbours banging down’ ). I wasn’t gonna finish it but she borrowed my laptop and found a work in progress and apparently it’s the kids’ favourite so I had to keep hearing about it….

Here ya goes anyhoe.

(um… the title of this post is funny but due to the extremely convoluted background process by which mp3s get onto my website I am a bit scared to change it in case something breaks…... oh dear.)

The music is the result of a tune I had in my head when I am being insomniac. Wanted to knock something up quickly with Dewex in mind, and I think you’ll agree the track benefits magnificently from his august presence.

I won’t lie to you: this one’s a bit weird..

This is a joyous song about the fact that I am completely and utterly dependent on modern technology.

I dunno – I think I’d be okay without all of it but I prefer things the way they’re going.

Yeah so me and Schooly Dave wuz kickin it and he was being filthy so I recorded him being rude and we made this nice love song together. Hope you enjoy it.

Made this today, from start to finish.

The words are “One day, there will be a way, to make you feel okay without spoiling Tuesday”.

This song is about drugs and future-technology, if that is not immediately obvious.

Imagine being able to get high without getting the Tuesday Blues through some sort of nanotech medicine..
