Solo Greebo & The Tempus Collective episodes
- The Tempus Collective - And Then..... (Ftg additional vocals from Slum Village)Bit of a departure from our usual sound. It's sometimes good to shake it up a bit so we enlisted the help of a few rappers on this track. Don't take it to seriously, we were just tryinig to have a bit of fun with a new genre.Special thanks to the Slum Village boys for the vocal stems and Mark Cowan for his outstanding efforts on the guitars.Music & Lyrics by S Grieve & K FlemingAll guitars courtesy of Mark Cowan.Additional vocals by Slum VillageRecorded & Mixed in January 2017.6 min
- Stranger Strings - unfinished demoA piece me and my good friend Stevo knocked out one evening after a few beers, meant to get round to progressing it but the moment has passed and I think it will now remain on the shelf as a monument to a great tv show...6 min
- The Tempus Collective - "Heavens Corner Shop"Heavens Corner ShopI Kick up leaves, like I've got a cause,Straight down the middle, and up until the cross.Before I know it, I’ve lost my way,I doubt what she’d had to say,I go to Heavens corner shop again,My daily bread, I have to earn.Breathe in, breathe out, then count to tenClose your eyes, and remember them,Breathe in, breathe out, Now the pain it flows,Let them go……I think of him, from time to time,Wonder if, pray for a sign,There’s nothing left to see,Just pin holes, lookin back to me.Life goes on.Moments will haunt you, an unquestionable fact,Time moves on, you don’t get it back,Breathe in, breathe out, then count to tenClose your eyes, and remember them,Breathe in, breathe out, Now the pain it flows,Let them go……Breathe in, breathe out,Now the pain it flows,Let them go……...............................................................................................................................................Music & Lyrics by S Grieve & K FlemingAdditional vocals - Mark CowanBass guitar - Steven YoungRecorded & Mixed in October 2016...............................................................................................................................................4 min
- The Tempus Collective -" Butterflies"This eventually turned into a Tempus - hip hop - fusion track but started life a simpler more relaxed version, with no vocals, which I like in a whole other way compared to what it became.Very special thanks to Mark Cowan for his exceptional guitar parts.8 min
- The Tempus Collective - Joy Division - "Atmosphere" cover - Original 101 Vocal MixDecided to put Kev's vocal over the original demo I did, just to see how it sounded. It's much closer to the original track I feel, not sure if that's a good thing or not, but anyway, here it is...5 min
- The Tempus Collective - "Riva Del Garda"Riva del Garda,The cobbled streets, that lead you there,Magnolia blossom fills the air,Water taxis make their fares,Riva del Garda,We touched the stars the night you shared,The open tears of fate itself,Of fate itself…….Artists paint and sell their wares,Ancient buildings left to bear,No fake facades to share,Riva del Garda,Street cafés serve San Martino,Radio plays out Caruso,Coffee cups lie stained in gossip,Riva del Garda,Riva del Garda................................................................................................................................................Music & Lyrics by S Grieve & K FlemingRecorded & Mixed in June 2016...............................................................................................................................................4 min
- The Tempus Collective - "Stay"StayWell, a change is in the air,And there’s strangers everywhere,Everywhere……If you heard my way, you’d stay,If, you, stay,Life, Love n Broken down,Should have become a better man,Stay,Heart, Left n Underground,Could have begun to bring you down – todayStay,You never would have strayed……It's late night, and the music fadesCandles burnin way down low,Then I hear you go, won't you stay,You slip right out the door…… Please stay.The night train tells the timeWith a Rhythm so sublimeBut if you know that way,Baby, stay…...baby wont you stay,Chorus.4th Verse / end.If only you would think to stay,Left broken and a—shamed,If you stay…..If you stay….Please stay…..I will always bear this shame,I will always think of you,If you stay,I will always understand - yeahIf you stay, …….Please stay,...............................................................................................................................................Music & Lyrics by S Grieve & K FlemingAll guitars & additional backing vocalscourtesy of Mark Cowan .Recorded & Mixed in March 2016...............................................................................................................................................5 min

About Solo Greebo & The Tempus Collective
From the publisher's feed
The Tempus Collective are :
Kevin Fleming - writing, vocals & keys
Stewart Grieve (Solo Greebo) - writing, keys and production
The Tempus Collective are a duo hailing from Glasgow/Scotland, consisting of Kevin Fleming (vocals and keys) and Stewart Grieve (Keys, programming and production). The boys first met at school and have been playing together since 1983. They got their first 4-track a few years later and have continued to be bedroom music makers ever since, except for a 10 year recess to attend to family life.
Over the years there have been various musicians who have joined the ranks but it remains a two piece outfit for the moment with guest musicians joining the band for selected projects as they are required.
Influenced by the likes of The Blue Nile, David Sylvian,Thomas Feiner and similar melancholic artists, the Tempus sound is usually a subdued affair that could never be considered mainstream.
"We spend a lot of time on production, we always have, it's about making the best of what you have at the time, both in ability and equipment and as the years have gone on, both have improved vastly. We always felt that one good sounding song was worth 10 poor ones ! That's what we strive for, That's where we always channeled our energies and it still is to this day."
Using Soundcloud as their main platform to showcase their music the boys have accumulated a decent following and gained a lot of confidence from the warm reception they have received from fellow musicians and music lovers alike....
