gary holden This is a great idea. Just wish I had a job and more money to help Chris out more.

William Hughes First track Mad As Me is worth the entrance fee. Driving bass and avant garde horns. I'm enjoying the weirdness but sometimes I'm longing for a rhythm to hold it all together, be that in the form of a bass or drums. Favorite track: Mad As Me.

Stuart Haynes Mad As Me is one of the finest pieces of music that Chris has ever written/recorded. An incessant bass pattern with tight snare drum propel the song forwards. Weird background sounds, vocals, buzz-saw guitars, feedback and keyboards add to the intensity. The synth sax counter melody is genius - like Seven Impale or even early Yes, the over-instrumentation just works. Perfect through headphones - how can an artist be so prolific and consistent in terms of output, yet push the boundaries so much? Favorite track: Mad As Me.

mathias skeppstedt Another great one from Chris. Mad as Me is the closest he has ever gotten to The Fall, amazing bassline, wonderfully weird percussion and great horns.
21st Century Citizen is this weirdly hypnotic and brilliant piece of music that reminds me of the first two parts of Neubautens Fiat Lux. With sound effects and strange vocals it just builds and builds. Favorite track: 21st Century Citizen.

Forever now I need to know And now I want to sleep I want to put my head on you I need to feel complete Forever now I need to know Please hold my hand I need to know Place your trust in me I won't let you go I need to know Forever now...
