another month, another couple of tracks. bec and i did this one. i had heard a dj on fbi radio the night before playing some old-school house/acid bits, and that's where the music started - very simple and minimal with tiny bits of syncopation to make it swing. bec then gave me some words, and it immediately started to veer into territory reminiscent of some band we saw a few weeks ago. bec's had a dead throat for a few days and couldn't contribute the required female vocals, so i dragged imojjen out to the studio at quarter to nine to fill in... the next piece is blake's. i do know it features the samples i made of his old yamaha keyboard. i don't know if it's telafonica or lessons in time, we'll have to wait for blake's input...
