Back on Track #2 ~ The Smile
I can’t think of a better way to open an album other than a bit of good ol’ Blake, can you? I was always fascinated by his artistic spirit and have spent hours and hours in TATE gallery looking at his artwork. I can clearly remember putting down the vocals in my grandmother’s house. The…

Phase Back on Track #4 ~ Transcendence
Transcendence was created, out of the first bunch of ideas I’ve been hoarding; and for a while, there was just the first progression standing there along with the first verse… Touching ground, held by an unseen bound / for western star drags me way to far / to find you my love, to build a connection…
