I actually carried on being EXTRA safe with the backing up today. The stuff is now on four different hard drives and five seems a tad over the top. Good to be safe and clear the decks for the next song. Daylight Robbery. Introducing fellow album mate no.9. This little bugger has been stubborn right from the start, lyrically speaking. It's been about many many different things. I think tonight I may have cracked it! Always loved the
title and the backing track. It's FULL of energy...and even features a circuit bent Speak and spell! You've seen his little brother Speak and maths a couple of days ago with the wise words of "write it" on his face. cheeky mongrel.

The idea came out when i was trying out some new gear. My Nuendo set up was bought as a result...as an addition to Pro-tools...coz more is better...thank you again SAM! I had an email through one day requesting the need for an up tempo lively guitary instrumental 30 second piece of music for this advert for boomerang insurance or something from my publishers? i
dunno..anyway. I had to try out this gear anyway and what better way to do that than to try and create a song on it. As it happened they didn't use it...but it was great to be inspired to go down a different route for fun."Let go" was written for a movie. It didn't get in the one we wrote it for but it's now in Garden State so there you go! Can't complain. So I loved what came out of the experiment. Trouble is it sounds so wicked without any vocals (apart from a weird loop of me through a vocoder and diced up) it almost seemed a shame to put lyrics to it.

But hey...i think it's gonna be good...

'til we meet again
