Well, to share this startling revelation or not? Sigh. I suppose it's just a spectacular lack of imagination on my part that the scariest dream I've had in a very long time involved me being chased through this plaice (har-de-obvious-har!) by someone who looks a lot like Michael Praed did in his mid-80s 'Robin of Sherwood' phase (was anyone else around these parts as devoted to that series as me? - and dare you admit to it? - and no it wasn't just to do with the music of Clannad). What makes this dream-fact a lot worse (heavens!) is that the reason this guy with the hair, the teeth and the smell was chasing me was to do with an unpaid tax bill (!). I mean, jeezo. Is that it? Have I turned into a sub-plot from an old George Lucas script? I think I really need to get out a lot more, and step away from that website (unsung hero or dastardly villian, views?). Anyway, normal service is now resumed and here is a wee Sunday mix; all instrumentals that are admired, adored and in need of your delicate ears. And on that sweet note, I am shutting the fuck up until next time (doubtless now off to a terrifying dream involving, er, Ryan Giggs, Mrs Slocombe and Jamie Oliver fighting it out over the recent IMF, um, vacancy...).

I recall, when I first played this album not long after it came out, I actually thought I was listening to the sound of the future of everything that ever mattered to anyone I had ever known, and in such lovely notes as well. Gorgeous.

Oh I cannot wait for the new Butcher Boy. Is that the song I've read that will be the instrumental on the new album? And congratulations on the award (I'd mentioned it on your initial post about it, but a Blogger bug seemed to have not brought back my comment when it went down recently). Gorgeous pics you take, by the way…

Thanks Esther! Yes, 'Every other Saturday' will be on the new album, as an instrumental. Not sure when it is out but Butcher Boy are playing at Indietracks this yr so I'll ask John or Robert or Basil et al. As for the award - a sweet irony indeed, given the proposed cuts. And the pictures are really down to the camera, rather than my dodgy eye, but thank-you for your kind words. :)
ReplyDeleteI've had a chance to listen to the rest of the songs. Thanks for those, I have an ever-growing instrumental playlist to add them to. Plus I learned more music has sprung up from the ashes of the Chameleons. Indietracks, indietracks! I'll be there in spirit once more, errrr. Well then, a dodgy eye is good to have!
