Othertimes, it's like a bunch of different coloured fireworks going off at once and I just enjoy the individual bangs and whooshes, then try to decipher patterns from it all later, when the smoke clears.

That's pretty cool. So one song may crop up and inspire an entire batch of songs that then gives birth to a new theme album.

Latest on the 'DREAMSHIRE CHRONICLES' front is that I've got a couple more songs 'in the can' and I'm almost ready to begin mixing another.
Titles are: 'Sailing To The Moon,' 'On Yer Bike Emperor Ming! (Mandolins By The Sea)' and 'Spooky Little Things That Never Happened.' All vocal tracks with gently bizarre, surrealist lyrics as befits this album's gently off-centre and easy listening feel. ('though to me what may be 'easy listening' might, for some, seem somewhat oblique, at least without repeated exposure to the non-linear flow of the songs.) :wink:

That'll do it for me :wink:

What on Earth can this song be about, and would Alex Raymond approve? :shock:

For my part, whatever it's about, I am amazed at the temptation of the upcoming new releases and the Cherry Red reissues. The 2011 releases are a hard act to follow, but Mr.B has done it before. Cant wait

The titles of this cd sound pretty cool, and I am ok with easy listening as long as it isn't music for accompanying vertical transport in a skyscraper!

No, this is more like vertical transport in a disc shaped craft! :wink:

That's my favorite type of transport
