Well, I came up with a title for it…….Moon Year Zero is a short collection of soundtracks for the (imaginary!) film of the same name. 8 tracks of lo-fi otherworldly electronics and atmospheres, with a nod in the direction of The BBC Radiophonic Workshop and Kraftwerk.
Its all free to download (128kbps at Last.fm or 320kbps, MP3 or WMA, at Bandcamp.com), so please go and get it!

Am currently adding the finishing touches to a few tracks I’ve been recording recently. Loosely themed around some of the wonderful 60s and 70s British TV sci-fi which I grew up with, the music is intended to evoke the atmosphere of such serials as Quatermass, UFO, The Tomorrow People, Survivors and Doomwatch. As you would expect, Radiophonic music is a big influence on this, but also the less heralded music of Barry Gray (of UFO & Space1999 soundtrack fame), and Kraftwerk. Ambience, however, will be the prominent vibe.
The album title is yet to be decided, and it’ll be free of charge when released, as usual.
Hello friends and comrades……..
In the absence of any actual new music from Dementio13, I’ve been trawling through my many outtakes and discarded tracks. Anyway, I thought I’d put them out as a loose compilation…of 54 tracks recorded between 1997 and 2001.
Some of the tracks are obviously sketches or half-ideas; but some of them are fully formed tracks which I’m actually quite proud of. Their lack of familiarity (to me) was a bit of a breath of fresh air…. and I had to remind myself that I’d recorded them!
Anyway, Last.fm wouldn’t let me upload an album of 54 tracks, so I’ve had to upload them as 4 ‘volumes’ (“Free leatherette binder with your first volume…”!).
So, sift through the crap and find some gems in there!
I sincerely hope you like it…..
Paul

Did I mention that all Dementio13 tracks are now free to download (albeit as 128kbps MP3s) at Last.fm and Bandcamp?
Of course, if you like your music in higher fidelity, there are 320kbps MP3s available at Bandcamp and on good ol’ iTunes.
Click on the above links to go there….

Just thought I’d drop a hint and ask you to go and visit my various recently updated MySpace pages; I know MySpace is rather passe now (“its sooooo 2005″), but y’know, one has to keep up appearances!
Anyway, there are some free downloads over there (though better quality downloads can be had at dementio13.bandcamp.com and Last.fm):
Meanwhile, please come and add yourself to my Facebook page.
Thanks!
A PS: myspace pages are starting to look as garrish and confusing as the lights of Vegas (though, in reality, more like Blackpool) with innumerable badges, buttons and backgrounds………so I’ve tried to strip mine back a bit. Not exactly eye catching, but if someone’s viewing it, the hooks already been bitten, right?

The new single version of the Cwtch song, “City To City” has been released. You can download a free 128kbps MP3 at Last.fm and Bandcamp.com; or a better (320kbps) quality version at cwtch.bandcamp.com. Its a cool and laid-back piece of melancholia, including lyrics by Travvy, and of course, Paul and Marie’s sensibility for music and vocals. Please check it out.
Thanks!

I’ve got a new album finished and I’ve posted it on Last.fm as a free download for all interested parties!
It’s entitled ‘Plate One’…don’t really have a reason why….words just sometimes come into my head!
Anyway, it’s dark, it’s coarse, it’s occasionally chilled…so hopefully you’ll like it.
Download or listen HERE.

New Dementio13 album (title TBA) coming in three to four weeks time. The usual mixture of electronic eclecticism with a twist, some new ideas, some borrowed, some blue. It’ll be available on iTunes and as streams on Last.fm. Keep your ears open…
