Confident rock drums are joined by a growling bassline reminiscent of early artist “Peaches”. Groove continues with shrill synth string interjections and ends tidily. Straight to the point and no nonsense.

Saisis par le Soleil
Glassy tones with bright guitar arpeggios and gentle glockenspiel. Delicate timbre with emphasis on glittering fantasy. holds back and quickens to 2:51 where strummed guitar introduces a more urgent section with horns and building layers of harmony. At 4:58 there is a held breakdown where everything is still, like holding your breath, then glock and guitar build almost imperceptibly to a strummed final section with added percussion. A beautiful, sublime track.

Monkey Dance
Toy pianos, xylophones and harmoniums evoke a mischievous dancing simian. Atonal elements make this a vaguely sinister piece. Something is going wrong in the toy world.

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.

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.

SOS til Memphis (Instrumental)
Haunting pious and atmospheric beginning with echoing vocals developing into sparse electronic rhythm with synth and organic fx. Sophisticated, thoughtful and restrained EDM.

Alarm In Shadow
Haunting and hard hitting intro music reminiscent of DJ Shadow. Heartbeat rhythm, warning, emergency, hospital drama. Medium Pace.
