The Hourglass. Gravity pulls time down. This little universe is fifties and sixties style guitar sounds reinterpreted for two thousand and twenty five.

The Mad Metropolis, a science fiction vision of the future. This is our present and future in faded sixties comic colours, touches of Velvet Underground guitars and Love.

All our Yesterdays, a memory of childhood indoctrination by the Methodist church, the Lifeboys and the cold war, a world in black and white, you are either good or you are bad and this is not just alive in our memories, in the old black and white television documentaries, in the futuristic sound homage to The Tornados’ Telstar, it is alive here and now, today, and it is a bad dream.

The Black Sheep, a man marked by his past. Today the child that was is now prowling a dark b-movie horror soundtrack.

Killing a Shadow, the big city, a spy, a voyeur and a story of desperate unrequited love in a crumbling world where the Joker, the power broker, deals marked cards to each and every player. As William S. Burroughs might have said, “…It is heavy metal, kid!”

She Had to Love Her, relax and picture a smokey nightclub, city nightclub jazz, sad songs and sad looks and here she comes but she can’t find real love in a relationship based on an embittered emotional domination.

Tree Floats Free, the character’s world, our world, our universe, is disintegrating before their, our very eyes. 

Global Warning, but will anyone heed it? It is the hand of man that has, since forever, turned our precious dreams and aspirations into ashes.
