Between 2007 and 2009 I collaborated with some very talented Electronica artists who wield synthesizers and sequencers far better than I. After being a one-man-band for a number of years and producing various solo albums it was nice to step back and work with other people's compositions, only occasionally adding acoustic instruments where needed. I also wrote the lyrics to try and match the mood and tone of each composition as it struck me, some of which have since appeared as poems in my recent book, Weaver in the Sluices (Skylight Press).
I am very honoured to offer this collection with these fine artists, which in sum works as a sort of homage to the dark and moody electronica of the 1980s. Rebsie Fairholm, who joined luna trick part way through these recordings (and works with me elsewhere) features on tracks #5 and #15. These songs can be found elsewhere on the internet under the names of my collaborators so I can't charge for them. If you'd like to contribute a few pennies for production costs we would much appreciate it. Also, if you like what you hear - please purchase one of the luna trick CDs or CD downloads on our artist page - or at www.flowforth.com
