Singles I

Originally released/recorded on MP3.com sometime around 1999 to 2000. I think this is about when I started to come into my sound and style. Still far, far from perfect – yet somehow a handful of these wound up #1 in MP3.com’s respected charts (no accounting for taste I suppose). These tracks haven’t seen the light of day since MP3.com went down, and the only way you’d have a copy is if you got one from me at a live show back then.

Back during the early days of MP3.com, I released half a dozen CDs worth of material. It was a different time, and a very, very different mind-space. I don’t think this is my finest work, but some people have a connection to that time and sound, and occasionally people request these old tunes from time to time, so I thought I’d put them up on Bandcamp for anyone that wants them. Singles I was mostly recorded around 1999 to 2000.

To quote Cevin Key on the Skinny Puppy ‘Back and Forth’ album (because he said basically what I’d like to say): “…quality at times may be questionable. Songs at times may annoy you. The equipment was primitive… …this CD is dedicated to our fans who have been persistent enough…”. I can only wish my back catalog material was even half as good as the old SP back catalog.

I had no decent equipment, just some old sequencers and samplers and drum machines and whatever junk I could get my hands on. Good times. Enjoy!
