The Fucked Up Beat - Insomnie

Release Date: 13 April 2017
Discogs

Sadly (or not, depends what Brett Zehner and Eddie Palmer will present to us in the future) The Fucked Up Beat project has been terminated. As a goodbye gift, those two gentleman are giving away for free (or for 'name your price' option via bandcamp) this compilation named 'Insomnie'.

I have a physical copy of a 'Hunting A Schizophrenic Wolf' which was released in 2013 and I still listen to it once a few months, I think it would be a good idea to also make a physical version of this compilation (cassette/cd would be nice). I encourage everyone to check it and also to download earlier works of The Fucked Up Beat.

Jessie Frye - Fireworks Child

Release Date: 26 April 2011

"Jessie Frye is a fascinating study in contrasts. On record, she's deceptively demure, purring into the microphone in a husky, come-hither voice. In concert, she's a perspiring, kinetic wreck, unable to stay seated at her piano for very long, often appearing to teeter on the edge of a complete nervous breakdown. Either way, Frye is in total control, conveying her intimate compositions with skill, placing her at the forefront of area songstresses.

    Frye has been steadily playing around town and at South by Southwest over the last three years, landing opening slots for high-profile shows such as Pat Benatar and Joan as Police Woman. Fireworks Child is just the sort of appetizer the unconverted need as motivation: Become intrigued by the stylish, richly observed songs on record and fall completely head over heels in concert. Provided she maintains her relentless work ethic and continues composing songs that reward repeated listens, Frye is bound for big things."   -   Preston Jones, Star Telegram

    "Hi, all, I hope you enjoy this one. This features some of my first orchestral sounds, which I really hope you enjoy! It was a lot of fun branching out, and trying new things.

    Again I have collaborated with some fantastic musicians to bring you this sound :) Most notably, Owsey, an up and coming artist has contributed two tracks to the album. There's a link to his glorious music below!

Mike Garson, Alex Boyd - The Sonnets

Release Date: 29 November 2011

"What happens when one of the worlds most respected pianists pairs up with an up and coming photographer?
The answer is 'The Sonnets' - Mike Garson's response to the landscape photography of Alex Boyd. A minimal soundtrack which both complements and explores the contemplative imagery of the 'Sonnets' series of images created by Boyd in his native Scotland."
