Solo Greebo & The Tempus Collective
By Stewart GrieveMusic
Solo Greebo & The Tempus Collective episodes
- Solo Greebo-"Sunsets at Dawn"- casstte 6trk 94'This is another old track that I lifted samples from my favourite film "Legend", I was mad keen for it in those days and thought every word Tim Curry uttered was a stroke of lyrical genius. My young sister reads some of her poetry in the intro which is a nice reminder for me as I don't get to see her much these days living so far away.7 min
- Solo Greebo-Heaven Is Here - 6trk recording 95'These were all made in the early 90's by my good self, before the days of macs and logic 9 so pretty basic but still a few not bad tunes in there.7 min
- Solo Greebo-Dream World-6trk 95 (based on Ennio Morricone's Chi Mai)This is a very old track recorded on a crappy old 4 track and an overly boomy bass drum, but what the heck, I still kinda like it.6 min
- Tempus-Rage In Desire (first college studio recording 87)This is one of the first tracks we ever recorded in a studio, I was a student at the time at The School Of Sound in Manchester and this was my first ever recording session where I was driving the desk, seems like a lifetime ago now, but I remember being totally bamboozled by the massive mixing desk and thinking "I'll never get my head round all this shit", LOL, well I guess I must have learned something coz 30 years later and I'm still doing it....We have since re recorded this and given it a bit of a face lift, it can be found nearer the top of my page.6 min
- Tempus-African DawnThis was our first production on the Sansui 6 track back in 92, it's amazing that the 2 extra track made a huge difference to the amount of parts we could put down and bounce with out loosing to much sound quality. The percussion is a tad loud and the shaker sound now really annoys me but the track it's self i pretty good I think.8 min
- Tempus-PreciousA very old track indeed, one of our first in fact. I've always loved the chord structure and our long lost friend Jonsey on the guitar, where are you dude?? Still holds a special place in my heart as our first proper depressing tune for which we are so clearly adept to.6 min
- Tempus-Everyday ManThis track started off life as the b-side in our first proper paid for studio session but it actually ended up being better than the A-side (Northern Street) The sax player was a bloody genius.... As was the bassist.6 min
- Tempus-The Reason WhySome tracks from the past, Tempus consisted of Kevin Flemming on vocals & keys, Jimmy Hay on Guitar and myself on keys, samples and programming. We started when at school and Kevin and I are still jamming to this day, 26 years later.....5 min
- Tempus-Northern StreetThis was the first song we recorded in a proper studio back in 89', sounds a bit dated now but it was exciting for us at the time.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....
