blast from the past

there must be nostalgia in the air as recently I recieved some mp3's from an old friend of mine, mark (aka dudley) of a musical collaboration we once had going under the moniker of "mogrove jo"*.

it was 1997. I was going through my mercury rev/ I wanna be a singer phase. Mark did the programming, I did the bass/guitars/vocals/rebirth wibbling. This recording was done on a crap pc using cubasis audio and was mixed to tape before being redigitized by mark's mate kev, who had the last remaining copy stashed in a cupboard somewhere on C90 audio tape - the quality didn't start great...

anyway, out of the 50ish songs I wrote when I had too much time on my hands, spanish sunshine and cheap wine aplenty, this is one of the only ones I still like.. and buried under all that fuzz/FX/echo my voice sounds kinda OK :-)

*the name derives from being lost in the north of spain and finding myself in a tiny village in the picos de europas(?) with a name that I remember being at least similar to mogrove jo.
