Atom Collector

The following tracks are a selection of the fantastic independent musicians that use AtomCollectorRecords.com:

Holy Moly by Gerontius

Ciudad Mante by @bakingjazzpower

Yukon Run (Yukon Tide) by Gerontius

Secret Garden by @indusrush

Secret Garden is the name of the resort I used to run on Koh Samui famous for the Live Music sessions every Sunday. The words of the song reflect the original idea I had when I started in 1990 - 1, but to make the song less obvious I moved the setting to SOCAL, Mexico and Baja. It waas some fanciful dream I had, which worked for a while but gradually became stale, not for the music, but for the inability for the locals in that place to follow basic laws of respect, culture, nature and consideration, all in the name of greed. A real shame for the inhabitants of Koh Samui. I played this song Live many times on stage at Secret Garden with The Big Buddha Blues Band, with Barrie Manso doing lead vocals. On this studio version, I play all instruments myself.

LYRICS

(I’ve Got a) Secret Garden

Down Baja way there's a place where we can go,
Down the Highway, just a few miles north of Mexico,
I’ll save a few dollars, give up my job
Put civilisation right out of reach,
Get the kids out of school, sell the car,
Buy a little shack on the beach.

Down on my beach there’s a world which co-exists
Without wives, without cities, without businesses,
I’ll live on your interest, live real cheap,
Learn how to live off the land,
Learn real values, meditate on the beach,
I might even start up a band!

Well it ain’t Big Sur, and it ain’t like the Rio Grande,
It’s just a life under palms mixed up with sea and sand,
For just a few dollars you can live on the beach,
Put your worries behind you and bring up your kids
To be aware an be one step ahead.

Down Baja way,
I’ve got a secret garden,

Unusual Approaches by Fleursonseaux

Rise and Fall by Juxta - Dreamers Mix by Virtualex by @virtualex-steem/

Dreamers Mix of the original Rise And Fall by Juxta - synths replacing electric guitars :-)

Novalogue - Intro by QT

On the Rebound by Nickillus

More midi mangling, throwing synth and string sounds together to see what falls out. Leaning towards experimental - ADM perhaps - Ambient Dance Music?
Thanks for listening, if you do.

Way To Go by Dark Company

*** Work In Progress / Demo ***

Way To Go by Dark Company
Album: Bad Habits

Lyrics by P. Greatorex.
Music by G. Davies/P. Greatorex.
Recorded, engineered and mixed at Wud Records Studio One, Exeter.

Performers:
PJ Speed – vocals
Zak Black – guitars, vocals
Maxx Damage - bass
Sven Stiglund - drums

Fun facts:
This song is in the key of F#m.
We used a load of out-takes of Pete when he was recording his vocal parts to make a track of odd outbursts of speech, then added the background conversation hubbub.
Guitar parts are played on Nicodemus.

LYRICS

WAY TO GO
Don’t eat the turtles they’re much too hard
Stick to the frogs that you find in the yard
What you see at the bottom of the well
Is just small ads there to buy and sell
Souls and faces and body parts
Coltrane jazz and modern art

Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go

Cork up the bottle save all the wine
The grapes are good on your outhouse vine
What you do to get through the day
Keep it secret or they’ll take it away
Cars and keys and metal snow
It’s all part of the way to go

Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go

Ethical men, fish in the pond
Fishing for games and they’re not wrong
What you need is a king-high win
Keep it closer than you keep your skin
Patterns and palaces and moonlight show
It’s all part of the way to go

Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go

You Keep Throwing My Heart Away by @indusrush

Do you ever have a row with your wife. Do you come out in sympathy when your partner has her hormonal upheavals? I think we've all had rows like this, and some of us throw things, some of us are violent in other ways, BUT,,,,,it's always great when you make up at the end of such an argument.....when you make love with each other again...yes, we all do it, after all we ARE human! The commentary of this song is about the sequence of events in just such a row, and is probably from personal experience! And yes, we're still together! The other fact about this song is that it is a direct mirror image of Land of Smiles (From the East), which uses the same melody and chord sequence. The other things which are different are the musical chorus and the overall production of the song. I couldn't decide which version I liked best, so I decided to release both, one as the first track, and one as the last.

LYRICS

Lyrics for "You Keep Throwing My Heart Away"

Here we go round again,
Singin' that same old song.
Tryin' to stop the black hole rise
And find out what went wrong

You say something that I don't care to hear,
An' I raise my hands to my ears,
I know what's coming now,
The sum of all my fears

Musical Ain't it funny how the bad times,
Always stand out from the good?
I even took your children in,
An' I loved ‘em like I said I would...

Even that wasn't good enough for you
You still say you need your space,
Man if I ain't good enough for you,
God Knows who you‘ll love in my place

Musical I sometimes I think I'm a child again,
As I listen to you plead.
Why d' you make such a song and dance
As you stand there and stamp your feat?!

I don't know where we're going with this
I still love you just the same,
You keep throwing my heart away,
It's all just part of your game.
