Submitted to the Erasure Remix competition. All I did was create an 80s style 12in mix without adding anything of my own to it. I do want to and will create my own remix of this track in the future.

I didn't really know what to do with this track. It's certainly not my best work hence the title, and it sounds very "Euro", very football as in soccer hooligan... *shrugs* It's meant to be played after "Absolutely Red (Indigo Ink)".

The longest track to date, ethereal and trancy

A cinematic piece written and inspired by friends. I had a hell of a lot of fun sequencing this piece together.

Not current available.

One of my favorite Erasure tracks that I thought needed updating and remixing.

I set out to create a Euphoric track. It turned out slightly dark and trancy. Pink Floyd's High Hopes from The Division Bell was definitely an influence on this track.

Written in thanks to the many people I met while in California and those who stood by me while I did a lot of soul searching for seven weeks. You've touched me in ways you never know were possible.

Hendy Woods State Park, California, USA

The most mature date to track. The title was chosen by Chris Gordon and Joey Fotanes through a contest I held on Live Journal.

It's happy, uplifting and definitely influenced by the 90s.

The flowers on the cover I thought were Morning Glories, as I had been told - well they're not. Shame, but they're pretty.

This track is definitely worth the download, and I appreciate your support!

I wrote this track as the United States started bombing the hell out of Baghdad. Rather than putting into words how I was feeling, I decided to write music.

In many ways this track parallels the themes of DJ Culture by Pet Shop Boys.

The claps represent the people blindly supporting the action. The explosion at the end represents the way media sources were reporting from Iraq.

Why have I never heard an electronica version of O Canada? Well here it is.

The first being much slower, and true to the original lyrics of O Canada. It would go well with a fly over of Canada video.

The second being a much faster and shorter version arranged for Canada Day 2003.

I don't really know why I chose Tritium as the title of this track. I've always had an interested in radioactivity, and I live relatively close to two CANDU power generating stations. Why not?

Based on "Here with the sky" by Spahitch.

Kind of a cover track. I took part of a track written by Spahitch, a techno group out of Brampton in the 1990s and expanded on that particular theme.

It was composed and arranged, reflecting on my South Pacific tour of May 2002.

There are spoken word lyrics written for this track, whether they'd really work, I have no idea.

This is the first track recorded when I purchased the Roland RS-5. Playing around with the strings, and the filters and resonance, I thought this track was really neat once initially finished.

Someone I know would like to add Bodhran drums, ultimately completing the track.

Think of two big, I don't know , maybe creatures, goblins? Walking down the road at Christmas time playing The Little Drummer Boy with their instruments. They are then joined by villagers, or maybe there's a scene in a toy shop.

Who knows? Merry Christmas!
