"So I have listened to Canon a
few times now and it is
pretty bloody choice. The guitars sound awesome.
Clear and crunchy, earthy and alien. Nice one.
I have stacked the CD in my shelf between Marley (Bob) and
Massive (Attack) who it shares a lot of
sonic sensibilities with. It is also just down the
road from McCartney (Paul) whose songs it can stand shoulder
to
shoulder with." Paul

is the place to pick up my latest tunes and sometimes even some works
in progress. These songs are for you to enjoy and to fill up any empty
corners you may have in your heart, let me know how they go, J.
Level Up is a return to the days of my album Deeper
in
so far as it's a pretty diverse collection of music. It ranges from
acoustic ballad, through jazzy spoken word, narrowly dodges country
rock, echoes Primary Jet Men with some alternative pop, and emerges
battered, bruised and all the richer into some chill out electronica.

while you relax in your space gazing out the window at the world
turning.
Primary
Jet Men is sizzling psychedelic folk pop, it's soul music, It's
everything that I believe to be of value in an album. In this world
where you can download your latest favourite tune to you phone, the
album seems to be a bit of a dinosaur of a concept. This albums' value
is in the journey which it takes you on. I love this album and I enjoy
it's journey immensely, I still get chills down my spine when I arrive
at the last track, Fire For The Dawn. This album is about 45 mins long
and I reckon it's ideal for popping on in the car when you're driving
somewhere 45 mins away.
Sackville
Off Gold was recorded on Sackville St. just round the corner from Gold
St, Collingwood, in the front hallway of Hilton's flat. It was done
super duper au naturale. As the liner notes say, 'WARNING - this
recording contains real ambience and blatant humanity. Recorded in
mono, live to disk @ The Collingwood Hilton 23-25 May 2001, using a
Sony minidisk walkman(hold your mouth right to get it to record),
Peavey KB/A 30 mixer amp and AKG D880 microphone. Jeremy uses a
Takamine & Larrivée guitars, executive model tin Kazoo, Reebok
runners, The Yellow Pages(K-Z), boom mic stand, standard issue human
vocal chords, squeeze type mop and gaffer tape. For your purest
listening pleasure this recording features no splicing, dicing or post
production.' This is about as honest as it gets.
This
is not actually my first album, but it is the earliest one that is
still available to purchase. It is a dynamic collection of folk,
electronica and rock. Prior to this I had been making industrial,
thrashy, indie type sounds. Deeper was the first release with my then,
new found love of the acoustic guitar. This album really sheds some
light on where I've come from.
This
is a mixture of recordings stretching back to the early 90's from
various bands and stuff I was involved in back then, when the world was
just starting to recover from the 80's.
