Birthday Bartok (Evening in Transylvania) by stobiepole

This is an effort to make a Fishmans-eque song, but it's got a bit of PILs 'The Order of Death' in there too...Madca did the vocals!

A recording of the Hiroshima Peace Bell made on a quiet day at the end of winter.

A reinterpretation of Andy Prieboy's wonderful 'Build a Better Garden' - the original can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOgaAPDZ7RU

Here's Andy's backstory for the song (where you can also buy it for yourself): https://andyprieboy.com/blogs/slog-s-ong-log/posts/build-a-better-garden-2011-redux

I guess it was kind of inspired by Donna Summer's concept album I Remember Yesterday (with a bit of a nod to Sigue Sigue Sputnik)...Andy was very kind to give me the stem recordings to muck around with. An old-school dub version is probably coming soon...

This is the Tintinara Dub Orchestra's rendition of the Aunty Jack theme song, with thanks to Grahame Bond and in memory of Rory.

A three-movement concerto? sonata? based around the rhythms and sensations of contracting COVID-19. Yeah, I had it pretty bad. With lyrics and vocals by Madca Junko from Jebiotto ( http://jebiotto.tumblr.com ) and P-iPLE ( https://www.tumblr.com/pinple-of-death )

A slightly delayed Halloween track...anyway, I hope it's spooky! Kinda wearing the John Carpenter/Goblin influence on my sleeve, the vocals from the awesome seventies flick with the same title...go watch it!

Special guests Alfie on vocals and Taiga on vocals and percussion.

Vocals and lyrics kindly provided by Judge Gerry...

Another COVID track, this time sung by Chiemi from Ichimadin - https://www.facebook.com/ichimadin/ - thank you so much! 'Moto ni modoru' means 'Go back to the start' or 'Back to the way it was'. It's used in the same way as the phrase 'Back to normal' is in English at the moment, referring to life after COVID. Thanks to Masa and Marie Ishikawa for lyrical assistance. The track itself is very vaguely inspired by a Nanto song called 'Asobishongane'.
