about

This was the first album I'd wrote after my previous band 'Megatory' had dissolved in 2000. I'd just managed to save for a PC, Propellerheads 'Reason' and Steinberg's 'Wavelab' which were a revelation to me as I'd been creating music with an Akai S950 sampler, a DX 27 synth and a Siel Mono analogue synth, mostly controlled by an Atari Ste 1040 since the start of the 90's ( thanx Securicor for the redundancy pay!) and before that, starting in 1983, 2 cheap tape recorders one for playback, one for recording/overdubbing, sent through my H/H guitar amp, then progressing to a Fostex 4 track and any old shite I could get to make a noise plus an interesting very Lo-fi sampler for the Atari called Replay 16 (?) (the tapes of which will be disseminated in future releases in this series).

The PC/software were a revelation due to the sounds I could create/control/arrange/mangle and then render/burn onto CDr with ease - all things I'd only dreamt of whilst making tapes for the various Tape scenes/Networks that existed in the 1980's, of which I had no permanent moniker for my activities. (MYC came about in 2007 as I thought it was a funny take on one of my fave films/books and I needed an identity other than my name).

Whilst sifting through my accruing CDr's Tapes etc recently, I'd found this album which I never got round to sending out as I was more interested in the creation of songs rather than sending them out for review/sale. I enjoyed listening to it and thought it was an interesting snapshot of my tastes and working methods at that time - as all songs were created by programming Reason/Wavelab (no USB keyboard etc, all was created through QWERTY) rather than physically playing real world instruments/Fx and mastering through my outboard kit which is what I do now (mainly because I enjoy the physicality of instruments/sound creation and because I didnt spend hours of my teenage years learning how to play and practicing guitar/bass/keys in my bedroom to have them wasted button pushing).

Anyway, I enjoyed listening to this (and the following other albums) and I hope you do too!
