By all means experiment if you have the capability, but please be aware that what you end up with will not be what I intended!
Also, some MIDI files played on Winamp before version 5.3 will not play correctly. If you use Winamp, please upgrade to the latest version (5.3 or above).
| RED HERRING | D/L | Mins | |
 | The band everyone isn't talking about... This isn't the whole CD, just the most excruciating bits. That's quite a lot of it really. Well, actually nearly all of it. OK, so what do you expect from a band named after a cliché meaning "to cause confusion"? If you really want to find out more, go here, but don't say I didn't warn you. | ||
| Made in Hong Kong | |
3:07 | Featuring John Q. Human Deceased on guitar. (He's not actually deceased, that's a anagram of his real name.) |
| The Answer | |
3:34 | Yes, but what was the question? |
| Careful with that sax, Colin | |
12:45 | Loosely based on "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" by Pink Floyd. Although Colin did play saxophone, he's not actually on this track! (Originally two tracks "Rock Cakewalk" and "Cirrus") |
| Apatcheye | |
2:58 | The wierdest music ever committed to CD? ("Walkin' down de middle o' de road wi' me shoes on...") Never mind what it all means, just listen to the sound quality - turn it up loud and sod the neighbours; in fact why not invite them round and have a party? Just make sure you invite me! |
| Just Passing Through | |
4:41 | Yours Truly playing everything. Well, if you want it done properly you just have to do it yourself sometimes... |
| Curry House Special | |
2:19 | Pass the poppadoms... Background sound effects provided by Pete (not) the Herring and Ivanhoe W. Kody. (Have you figured out any of these anagrams yet?) |
| Me & Julio | |
2:28 | Paul Simon's song arranged & played by me. Pity the drums got a bit lost in the mix; I don't usually play drums, but I reckon I managed quite well on this one. |
| White Elephant (Indian Version) | |
2:09 | ... end of Side One, complete with fake record stylus noises. |
| Second Hand Jam | |
3:04 | Elwood plays the drums again! Based on a song by 10cc that was popular at the time. |
| Anji | |
1:51 | Davy Graham's tune, or at least the tail end of it. |
| Diamond Girl | |
3:15 | John Q. again. Wonder where he is now? |
| Fade Out | |
7:37 | One of my favourite guitar improvisations, accompanied by Mr. Weaklark on organ. | White Elephant (African Version) | |
4:08 | "I've got blisters on my fingers!!!" |
| Hey Bulldog | |
2:47 | Our obligatory Beatles cover. Every band should do at least one. |
| The Marathon (1st take) | |
6:07 | Our first attempt at this piece. See Interface below for a better version. |
| The Last Herring | |
3:57 | Which it was - the last Red Herring piece and the first Interface one. Quitars by "Ten Quid Ponn" |
