The sample gave a real propulsive energy to the song which I crossed with some sort of Moroder Hi-energy synth .
#TimsTwitterListeningParty

This song originally had a sample from 'let her Dance' by Bobby Fuller . It's often known as the theme music used in 'Fantastic Mr Fox' film adaptation from Roald Dahls book .

I love Noah's Cossack shouts in this & the interplay between our vocals & his 'here it comes' parts giving a 'Walking with Jesus' meets 'Hey man' sort of vibe .

I did the 2 different keyboard parts on Everythings been leading to this the same day I did the Everyday parts & I love the childish sort of music box quality of it

Trustin’,When it won’t go well ,When it won’t go well , And we’re headed back to the drawin’ board
Don’t like what we’re headed for (goin’ in circles) , So I’m strummin’ on a chord , Windin’ back disaster

I think it has a real fiesta vibe .
It seemed that part of the inspiration for this track was about how the rules in our lives we're shifted & the endless on again off again dangling we were going
through with the lockdowns .

Living in the After was one of the big surprises of the LP for me .
I think it has a real fiesta vibe .

The two lazy Guiros in this that call & reply to each other really add a nice rhythmic element that Noah's keyboard dances around .The castanets I've had but not used since my 'Spectrum' solo lp .
I would LOVE to hear Dion (DiMucci) sing this ....

The acoustic guitar is from the Everly Brothers ' love of my life' song . The samples were really foundational as the starting vibe . The samples really created a cushion to float the songs on . #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Danger is the ballad of the LP . It takes me to a hot sunny hispanic afternoon . nursing a beer & trying to avoid the heat of the day .
#TimsTwitterListeningParty

The song always reminded me of 'Rock your Baby' by George Mc Crae which was a big jam I heard in the 70s and really loved . This song reminds me of Sam Cooke a bunch too , and the silk hi strings we're an homage to him & his productions .
#TimsTwitterListeningParty

I love the disco vibe to this song , with the arpeggiating grooves & that killer bongo that Noah played . Another of Noah's dub bass lines .....

Whirlpool was influenced by the whirlpool of emotions and doubts that I was experiencing at the time . I felt strong almost chemical emotions during the period we were doing this LP and it wasn't easy , but somehow , it was very focussing & inspiring .
#TimsTwitterListeningParty

I felt early on the record had a strange Joe Meek meets Kraftwerk element that sounded nostalgic for a past that never existed & dreaming of a future that never would . Joe & the Krafterk were both ace at summoning that sort of sci fi vibe .
#TimsTwitterListeningParty

We wanted something fresh & futuristic to contrast with the traditional rock n roll elements of the record .
#TimsTwitterListeningParty

P - In my body originally used a sample from A Righteous Brothers song - 'Night Owl' which we removed .
The electronics on RESET were all done using the Eventide H910 Harmonizer .

A real Guiro doing that 'run' would need to be about 50 metres long : )
