This is the last song for the new album. I’m pleased with the remake on this.

This was one of the last Souls In Darkness songs Todd and I worked on together.

I think we were in the right direction with the original so this third (final) version is based on that.

A remake of our original track with a slightly different sound.

Way back when,. there was a movie concept. A lovely post apocalyptic, dystopian, bio-mechanical, movie concept.

Another remake from a 1985 track. I decided to keep most of the original structure and musical phrases.

It is very mellow and, if I did it right, this song and a cigarette should last the same amount of time.

This was always one of my favourites of the old SIDS songs.

This track was planned to be released as a Tic Tok Men song. I asked Cormac Strain if he’d be interested putting down a bassline and doing some vocals. His…
