Welcome one and all. Do come in.

Like most of my tracks this one took a long time to acquire a name, but it was suggested that it sounded "Christmassy" and hence the flamboyantly original title of "Christmas Lights" was devised.  For all that care, the bleeps come from a CS1X and RM1X, and everything else was sampled on my A3000.  The "I'm outta here" comes from the end of an REM album, and the "improvement already exists" is from a PC game called "Alpha Centauri".  I quite like it, but I don't know if anyone else will.

Backing was performed live with just two tape recorders and two minidisc players.

quotage - "I like santa...yeah"

This is a beautiful performance. Captured at the Royal National Opera in London. Only five people died this time, but there was still no room for complacency. This was their highest chart entry in 1988, losing the number one spot to Star Trekkin'.

Dong.

For the past few years, Loathome Fucking Christ have continued to create some of the the sickest and most bizarre music imaginable. WIth "Good King Wenceslas" they have acheieved the aim they set out at their inception - sickness on the inside of Christianity. This blistering track will most likely be blistering the ears of ministers and clergy for years to come. Revolt! Defy! Destroy!

Started off as an Aphex Twin remix.  Then I gave up and started a chill out track.  Then gave up and started a 4 track Amiga tune tribute.  Then thought, this is far too much like hard work, and stuck them all together, made an MP3 of them all and had a pie to celebrate.

The equipment used on the song:

PC with: SONAR (featuring Dreamstation and Tassman SE), Terratec EWS88MT,
Soundblaster Live!
Nord Micro Modular
Casio VL-1

Yes, Christmas is a time for recieving. But we can't forget those of us who are less fortunate. Every year there are at least 12 people who decided to persue some sort of art career. This year Steve is one of them. With only sparse web-designing skills how can he survive without our help? So please give generously. Just 1 pound a month could buy Steve a coke at The Goose in Oxford, and for only 2 pounds a month Steve could get a coke at The Head Of The River in Oxford. With your help, he might just go out this week.
Thank you.

"Merry's" track was inspired by Mike Batt, Lando Calrissian , the All-Aboard album, Marian Pahars, Postman Pat - The Album and Pitchshifter.  And yes she did play the guitar herself. 

first collaboration with the big dan (this is ironic) sees a vocal persona and a mix of styles. feat.Chris Tina.

A lack of any sort of recordable device and general ingenuity resulted in this superbly innovative and experimental piece of musical history. Based on the work of Strauss, Peter Gabriel, Dana and Weber, this presents an acutely concious conciousness (of Christmas, in particular.) Work on an album of similar material, but given a swing-jive edge, is due to appear just as soon as the nose-handwriting thesis is presented. (I'd rather just tell you a story...)

4 vocoders get it on with a faulty beatbox and a copy of Carols For Choirs 4.

a half-speed/full-speed/double-speed mangling of a particularly fine recording of a christmas classic.

Remake of the original 1930's Elvis number. A Physician has worked the beauty out, and replaced it with the noise that we all have in our head. The evil, dirty noise that eats at your Id. Dirty, dirty noise. Scraping at my mind like the teeth grating on a very fluffy jumper. I cut them up. I cut them up so they can't tear my thoughts away from me. They're my thoughts! Get away! GET AWAY FROM ME! DON'T DESTROY THE THOUGHTS. They are all I have left.
