Comedy for toy instruments. Sounds like: A riot of toys dancing around the tree at Christmas.

Making Jack a Dull Boy
Dark atmospheric piano elements with tambourine and other percussion. Grooving and dissonant, building with tense octave notes. Sounds like: Tom Waits’ soundtrack to Down By Law.

Luzhin
Fractured and bouncy electro pop. Begins with slow harpsichord then changes abruptly to glitchy topsy-turvy rhythms. Fun, bit-crushed and slightly trippy, imagine that bit in The Beach where Leonardo DiCaprio becomes a computer game.

Like a Mantelpiece the Sea
Back room farmyard instrumental, acoustic instruments with a tender yet mischievous melody. Folky but genre-defying. An extension of the soundtrack to Withnail & I.

Ladybirds
Delicate harmonies on strings, with later gentle percussion and theremin-like synthesiser.

Kerugugs Homecoming
Comic high-drama, toybox symphony. An epiphanic moment. Bagpuss and co. get back home after stopping an asteroid colliding with the earth. Or something. Mega-silly symphony of kazoo, voice and accordion.

Kentish Plover
Triplet-feel dramatic orchestral refrain, with soft voices and repeating phrases. This is hilarious and highly dramatic at the same time. Perfect for an episode of Bagpuss, if Bagpuss was trying to fly a biplane to the moon. Includes real violins, voices, kazoo, accordion, wooden percussion and a whole lot of interesting phrasing.

Ergo’s Circus Collection (Suite)
A suite of tracks all reminiscent of a weird but funny circus.

Judas
Uncomfortable reggae-funk, with what sounds like electronic braying donkeys in the background (melodica). A quizzical brooding atmosphere with heavy beats. Imagine a slightly dysfunctional circus-like “Your Woman” by White Town.

Illusions
Delicate, soft harmonies from vintage synthesisers and glockenspiels. Dreamy atmosphere, inspiration from a melody by Edvard Grieg. Mysterious fantasy, sounds like something from Zelda.
