about

A cover I made of the hit Fun Boy 3 song from 1981 which I originally recorded back in 2009 as a B-side. I thought I would 'officially' release it here, for free, as my own small tribute to their singer, and of course also The Specials front-man, Terry Hall who sadly died during this year's festive season. Terry, and the music he wrote, was a huge influence on me musically and lyrically, and even his vocal delivery style has made an indelible mark upon my own attempts at 'singing'. This song is as relevant now as it was when it was written, more's the pity. Goodnight lovely man.

supported by 9 fans who also own “The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)”

The Alt/ Underground 1980s & 90s just called me from a phone booth in the Mojave Desert, and they informed me to profusely thank these adventurous musicians for keeping it all alive & vital. It's very rare to hear music that invokes deep nostalgia upon the very first listen, but here it is. Standout tracks for me: Obsession Body Aktiv Home Drown Below (wow, just wow) Dangerous Mother Tongue / Glitter Belly \m/(><)\m/ Wave a Dead Chicken Alan Tangento
