| "This was recorded in 1996 during an all-too-brief
weekend visit to Portsmouth by Frank, who was on his travels performing
in Europe. I had a good part of the tune already available when
Frank arrived, as it was a project I was working on. Together we
tweaked the arrangement to work with some lyrics Frank had with
him. He was able to add banjo to the backing just before it was
time to go. I completed the song with midi-sax and vocal later."

in their 30th anniversary year. The pizza boxes were delivered
to them during their Demons Dance Alone show at the Royal Festival
Hall on March 10, 2003. The CD, which exclusively features tracks
about moles, also includes tracks recorded by the various members
of the Moles and Paulie Kraynak. I Am A Mole was originally
recorded by the Southlanders in 1958, We Are The Moles
by …The Moles, an alter-ego of Simon Dupree and the Big Sound…incidentally
from Portsmouth."

Alex Wroten - guitar, drums, bass guitar
Releases:
The Human Elbow, a Well
Dang! Productions film.
CD-R: (soundtrack) Well Dang! Productions #helbowost
DVD: (movie) Well Dang! Productions #helbowdvd

"Alex invited me to produce some music to go over the end
credits to his movie The Human Elbow. In the end, I worked with
the guide piece Alex had sent me which I overlaid and augmented
with keyboards and vocals. In my opinion the original works fine
as end-of-film music with the visuals but on balance I prefer
Alex's Machine Mix version which is more 'to the point' and shorter."

Gladys [Renaldo's Alpine Mix] (2006) due
for release August 9th, 2006
|
|
|
Renaldo - remix with added electric guitar, keyboards
and samples
Featured on
The Scallions - Agony Through Ceremony
(SlamJamz).
|
|
"This is a remix of the Scallions song from their forthcoming
album 'Agony Through Ceremony' to be released on the SlamJamz
label. This was my first remix project - the recording was actually
started as early as 2003 and completed in 2004. The Scallions
album is accompanied by a DVD on which this track features alongside
a remix by C-Doc of the Impossibulls. The DVD also features a
documentary about the Scallions including recorded comments by
Molly Harvey, Tom Timony and myself. When the Scallions asked
me to make a short 'piece to camera' talking about them, I made
a 2 minute film with my voice speaking in the old 'rotcod' fashion
- the first time I'd tried it since RatL days. It didn't fit in
with the style of the finished documentary so it is included in
it's entirety as an easter egg on the DVD - including (necessary)
sub-titles I believe. Some vocal samples I sent have also appeared
in the project, on the album just before the song 'Gladys', and
on the album's promo CD 'A Guide To Agony Through Ceremony'."
|
"The Scallions are also working on a side project called 'Sounds
Of Vinyl and the Past' on 10" vinyl to which I've contributed a
toy piano section."

CD-R: Private edition of only 2 copies recorded as a wedding

| "Ok, probably unfair to include this in a discography
as it's not been made available to anyone apart from my friend and
his wife. He asked that it not be copied as it's their unique gift
(other musicians also sent exclusive tracks) - but if he changes
his mind… It's a cover version of the Buddy Holly song of course" |
