A complex track from Kev Trundley, being based on two different songs with the same tune which were popular in World War Two - one with the allies, one with the German Forces. The English version here is the irreverent send up of the original song, based on a largely forgotten and rebuked section of the British Armed Forces, where the likes of the 8th Army were ridiculed as "D-Day Dodgers" for not taking part in the D Day allied offensive - despite facing some of the most intensive fighting in the entire war.
Meanwhile, over in Germany, we have an equally complicated song - first used as a simple love song, then becoming a firm favourite with German troops on wartime radio, and then re recorded as a propaganda tool in English, sung by the gorgeous German actress, Marlene Dietrich, then living in America. This is based around the original version - in German with original lyrics.
As confusing as war itself, with two themes interwined around a single tune.

Too Much Gristle in the Blancmange
Another one from Kev Trundley - loops and multi layering galore, as everyone's industrial music innovators gets the Trundley treatment, and what stated off as a novelty noise making device evolves into something more intense and sinister.
Kaoss Pads and Circuit Bent Toys
Kev Trundley now runs us through a series of circuit bent toys, fed through loop devices and bounced in and out a series of sequencers and samplers.
Anyone spot the Canada Geese in there?

Effe Em Gee Bee
Kev Trundley strikes again. This time with a jam session based on a freshly rewired midi set up. This was later remixed, cut up and rearranged, and then finished off courtesy of a guest appearance of James Joyce coming through the aether.

Field Recording - sort of
Here we go again folks with another well ripened audio offering. This time round we have another serving of sonic madness from Kev Trundley, based on a field recording from Spain:
A short track made from a field recording waiting outside the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. Buskers and voices from the crowd have been blended through a series of delays and multiple echoes to create something quite well distanced from the original ambience of waiting outside an hour long queue down a narrow side street on a noisy hot day in Spain!
