MUSIC DOWNLOAD NOT WORKING

Hello and welcome back... Just a quick post to let you know that some of the music downloads are no longer active.
I was using Spreaker to host the downloads but i have been put back to 20 hours of airtime because i fail to upgrade, which is fair enough, but i just can't afford it... That's life
The ones i left behind are the bigger ones (ones with the most downloads).
The music downloads are on the right hand side of the page under 'Music Downloads' and i will slowly start taking the links off the page that are no longer active.
Cheers
Michael

DREAM SEQUENCE - TAKE ME (Sounds like the 80s)

Hello and welcome back.... Awesome new track for Australian music producer DREAM SEQUENCE

Called 'Take Me' the track mix's sweet sounding synths, lush choir/strings and a hint of Acid. For those who are wondering... What is Acid?
The Acid sound was heard in the late 80s House scene and is produced by tweaking a Roland 303 Bass synth.
Its a fairly distinctive sound and one that Dream Sequence uses in his music often...

Take a listen, see what you think..

ICEHOUSE - ICEHOUSE

Hello and welcome back.... Most people know this band as 'Icehouse' but before the name change they were known as 'Flowers'

The track 'Icehouse' was from the album of the same name and was released back in 1980.

The haunting synths and clear cut vocals of Iva (real name 'Ivor') Davis make this song even more appealing as it tells a story of a place called 'The Icehouse'...

'The Icehouse' was a 2 story house in inner Sydney (Lindfield) that even in summer was ice cold.
An interview from Iva who lived in the house and was studying Oboe at the time, told of a strange vibe from the house. "In a space of 6 months, 3 people were found dead on the front lawn, 2 people who live upstairs were committed and after Iva moved out, the guy who took his room went insane in 3 months"
If that wasn't bad enough, across the road was a half way house for psychiatric people and a old mansion few doors down found 3 old ladies had died, one after the other.

Enough to write a song about? Its called 'The Icehouse'

FAD GADGET - LADYSHAVE

Hello and welcome back... New wave meets Industrial kind of sums up the outfit 'Fad Gadget'.
Fad Gadget is from the U.K and is the work of one person (Francis (Frank) John Tovey).
Fad Gadget blended industrial sound into his early work such as electric drills and razors, then added early synths and dark undertone lyrics to the mix.... Sort of early Depeche Mode only ...Darker

Sadly the man behind the name Fad Gadget (Frank Tovey) died back in 2002 at the age of 45 (Heart Attack)... He was working on a new album at the time of his death... R.I.P.

For me, I hadn't really gotten into Fad Gadgets music, i had heard of the name but it wasn't until a friend of mine introduced me to this track, i became hooked... Its Raw, Electronic and Moody...
Love it.

LIAN ROSS - FANTASY  (1985)



LYRICS

High up in the skies much miles away
lived a very special man.
one night in my dreams I heard him say 

he'll be coming to this land.

Distant lover
king of Galaxy
welcome to my world of fantasy
come into my world of mystery
welcome home to me

I woke up into a big surprise

stars were falling from the skies
I've been happy ever since that day
I woke up to hear him say 

Distant lover
king of Galaxy
welcome to my world of fantasy

come into my world of mystery

welcome home to me 

Fantasy - fantasy -

Distant lover
king of Galaxy

welcome to my world of fantasy

come into my world of mystery

welcome home to me
