I’ve been considering my musical journey recently. It’s been a fairly long road… my style, equipment, (and ability!) have all changed significantly. It’s interesting to take a moment to reflect on the past. I’ve personally mellowed in recent years…
With that in mind, let’s share tracks that are now older than a decade.
I’ll kick us off with a Monomachine heavy number from 2009:
This was the first thing I recorded on my own laptop when I was maybe 14 (almost 15 years ago!), though for some reason a couple years later I went and put a bunch of reverb on top and that’s the only version that survived.
Probably the first audio recording I did, and one of the first heavily edited tracks I did that wasn’t just messing around in Fruity Loops. Posted in '04, but probably actually done closer to '99-2000. Palindromes - Bruise The Air (2004)
Oh man. Here’s the last album I wrote solo before we started Radioactive Sandwich. I put it up on Spotify last year solely so I could stream it in my playlists. Haha. This was my best solo stuff… which should tell you how bad beginner Slice Two was.
Never quite good enough… We were a tip for the top in the music press back in the day, but the record buying/gig attending public just didn’t share the music journos’ taste. Too loud and obnoxious for the shoegaze crowd; completely at sea when the world went all britpop. Did put out a couple of Pete Kember produced EPs before disappearing back into obscurity. Actually that is probably the wrong term, as we never actually emerged from obscurity in the first place
Played a couple of gigs with them. We were both on Cheree records back in the day. They seem to be still going bless them. The Perfect Needle was a tune
