The Beastman 'Beware the Beastman'

Hard and heavy beats, with a theme influenced by a certain film about apes taking over the world. Plus two remixes I did just for the hell of it.

Tracks:
01 Beware the Beastman
02 Beware the Beastman (Dub Remix)
03 Beware the Beastman (Acid House Remix)

Visceral Now "In the Realm of the Unreal" (2007)

This a demo of some "old school" Acid House created, unlike the previous two albums I have posted, purely on synths, the main synth in question being a TB303 clone.

Whereas the Heavy Horn Action and Midnite Classix albums were exercises in sampling and creating sound collages this album is all about pure tune writing (no samples here) and nostalgia for one of my favourite forms of music, Acid House. Which is surely about due for a revival any time now!

In keeping with the retro theme I've kept the music deliberately sparse, many of my favourite tunes from the late 80's/early 90's were made using a couple of synths, a drum machine and some effects, so that's the kind of sound I was aiming for here.

"Dance" music this isn't though, although you could probably freak out to a few of the tracks. This is Acid House done like it should be, deep and trippy.

01 - Pea Souper
02 - Acid Test
03 - Nether Regions
04 - Nitefear
05 - Phreaker
06 - Acid Drops
07 - Dark Matter
08 - Mystic Acid
09 - Acid Rephlux

Strap in and get ready for a journey to the hinterlands of the mind as you listen to this soundtrack to an imaginary future utopia gone wrong.

Midnite Classix "Feeding The Thin Air" (2004)

A psychedelic trip through a variety of musical styles from Ambient to Drum'n'Bass, with a little Dub, Trip Hop and Jazz thrown in for good measure. Something for both the mind and the body, yep this album has it all. Slabs of groove so solid you could lay a patio with 'em, plus tunes and stuff.

The music on this particular demo disc comprises the first material I composed using a PC alone, as opposed to the racks of horrendously expensive electronic equipment I used to use.
Hopefully the results stand up for themselves so there's little need for me to rattle on any more about it.

Enjoy responsibly, under adult supervision.

The tracklisting:
01 - Welcome To The Future
02 - (U.R.) Brutal
03 - B.R.A.I.N.I.A.C.
04 - Classical Gas
05 - Ply
06 - Nuclearwinterwonderland/More Music
07 - Psychonaut
08 - Autumn Of Your Soul
09 - Don't Trust The Human
10 - Time To Evolve
11 - A Borrowed Mind
12 - Punish The Machine
13 - Attack Of The Space Hippies
14 - To The Stars

Look upon my mighty works ye mortals and despair...

Welcome to the towering majesty that is "Heavy Horn Action".

Those of you that have happened upon this blog thinking it may contain material pertaining to musical instruments of the brass variety may be in for a disappointment, as will those of you with a prurient mindset, for it contains neither.

What you will find, however, is a bunch of tunes written by me over the past few years under various guises, and in any number of tripped-out styles, that I have attempted, without luck, to get a record company interested in putting out.
So, since no-one out there seems bothered in releasing my material I've decided to give it away for free.

Please feel free to download, pass it on and comment on my work but above all...
Enjoy!
