sleepless night thinking about it all again...




horsemouth is a little tired - he didn’t sleep well. sten (suburban bushwacker) on the other hand is up and around and full of beans (or at least he was last night). at least horsemouth has some more beer stashed against the apocalypse (he probably owes daryll another pound for it though).

horsemouth was thinking about it all (again) - thinking about the musicians of bremen volume 3 album (provisionally titled the musician of bremen so that horsemouth can sell it at his solo gigs).

at the moment the tracklisting looks something like this - satan (your kingdom must come down) probably end with this (always good to end with a hymn), worldes blisse keep this far away from satan... on the basis of their similarity, the devil song well it is what it is by now,  sliabh... with denise ishaque singing on the first half and howard singing on the second.

all these are the vocal tunes and then there are some instrumentals to be had, her hair like some glittering gold (for macol finzi-contini) which is la fille au cheveux de lin by debussy as a slide guitar instrumental (nearly), when the faun met alice again slide guitar but a more experimental piece, pantisocracy on the susquehanna a harmonium/ guitar duet stressing their essential equality, serpent(S) an attempt at the indestructible beat, all of these were recorded with howard mostly using john clarkson’s harmonium and melodica (horsemouth regrets not getting the omnichord in there).

horsemouth is debating adding an edited version of one of the slide guitar tunes he recorded over snatch foster’s place (in his bathroom in fact) - renamed funeral music for john fahey and robbie basho- edited down he thinks it would fit.

but perhaps some tunes are weaker than others and should be left on the cutting room floor.

and perhaps horsemouth needs to think about the track names more.
