Science Ninja Team Go!
I wrote and recorded an album in February. Unlike my usual plan of never finishing anything and so never releasing anything, this stuff was all done very quickly and has a messier more experimental vibe to it. Also I used a far greater variety of equipment. I usually write stuff on a computer and just add vocals. On this one you can hear:
Electric Guitar
Bass
Glockenspiel
Tin Whistle
Microkorg - mostly for the vocoder
Korg Electribe EMX-1
Bongos
Dholak
Gameboy DS with Electroplankton and Korg DS-10 Carts
Various 'found sound' type percussion 'instuments'
I went back this weekend and made a few tweaks to the mixing and added one extra tune and have now released it on www.AmieStreet.com here

How Amiestreet works is that you upload a tune for free download and once it hits a certain amount of downloads, they start charging per download at $0.02 US a track, then as it's popularity increases, so does it's cost. For now it is free, but I'm hoping one day it might make me 20 quid or something. Actually I'm hoping that it will make back the 25 quid I spent on the Glockenspiel when one day I wasn't sure what I was going to write that evening.
The cover art is by Bob of course. I gave him total Carte Blanche on the design and I'm extremely pleased with what he produced, it's brilliant and eye catching, but also conceptually nothing I would have conceived.
Well, there you go. Go downloaded it and hopefully before you know it I'll be earning $0.02 a track.
