Landscapes
This song started life as a guitar loop written by a friend, Gilles, in London. It was supposed to turn into something like a rocky ballad I think. But then Simon came up with a digital image named Char 2 which you can see on this site. Looking at this picture, 'Landscapes' sprang into my mind almost in its entirety - the only time I've ever had this experience. Suddenly the balladish guitar loop turned into a quirky, moody kernel running through a glitchy electronic soundscape overlayed with a vocal part that I slapped down right then and there. The recording left a little to be desired, but grew on us so much we've stuck with the original take - vibe over quality one might say. Oh and for those who have seen us play this live, you'll know that playing this guitar part and singing at the same time definitely challenges my guitar-skills....
