3 new tracks up on the myspace... Fat Hand on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Taming TIme

Japaneso

Mineymole

The first two are jams with a bit of structure. As ever I don't have the patience to go back and re-record bits that aren't absolutely perfect.

Mineymole is a kind of minimal track. There are some melodic bits in there. I was kind of thinking Alex Smoke while writing this but that's a hard thing to full acheive, so more of a teabag briefly dipped into a hot cup of water nodd of the head sideways glance at anything of that quality.

Hope you get a chance to listen and leave a comment if you like it or hate it. As much to give me some sort of distraction from spreadsheets at work as anything, you'd be doing me a favour.

Any thoughts on the new direction? Had some reasonable feedback from folks so far.

Quite liking the more song style electro at the moment. Probably keep going in this direction. If I can find the time maybe make a spooky halloween horror track.

The new songy stuff is definitely the best road to go down in my opinion. The vocals aren't quite tip top (i'm sure you know that) but those first two tunes sound like the beginning of quite a cool sound.

Forgot how much I liked Junk philosophy too.

Yeah, there are more lyrics to go into them too as well as re-recording our hungover vocals. I hadn't put up any new stuff for ages so thought I'd just do a bit of mixing and go with what I had (mixing as in covering up how truely aweful the vocals were with "bad phoneline" eq-ing ha ha).

I'm pretty surprised by the overall sound actually, really wasn't what I had in mind... didn't really have anything in mind when I was jamming them out. I like having a catch riff, that's got to be the most important part of this kind of thing.

Nice one Colin,your ideas are developing well.I'm maybe gonna go for the Waldorf Largo synth soon and upgrade to logic 9.I think i'll delve back into electownic music again now Ben is in Glasgae.

Taming time is a great song! I think the slightly skewed vocals adds to it.

This stuff's cool. It's refreshing to hear something danceable and really smooth sounding. You remind me favorably of Chromeo on some tracks, that you seem to be simultaneously tongue in cheek yet totally sincere and confident too. I'm actually quite fond of the vocals. The contrast between 'normal guys' vocals and fantasy-land synth textures creates a cool mood, kind of whimsical but grounded, if that makes sense! Thumbs up!
