= Full MP3 (BIG file), 
= short MP3 clip, 
= MIDI file (Instant music!)NOTE ON PLAYING MIDI FILES: All my MIDI works are meant to be played using the standard Microsoft GS Wavetable. Usage of any other wavetable will give unintended results. 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).
| INTERFACE | Mp3 | Mins | |
 | My second attempt at creating a Rock band, this time a bit more serious. More info here. | ||
| The Adoration of the Earth | |
1:23 | Extract from "The Rite of Spring" by Stravinsky, played on synthesisers. I was thinking of doing the whole piece (30 minutes' worth) like this but never finished it. |
| Who needs friends? | |
3:02 | Written about a former Red Herring member who did something unforgivable. |
| One More Lie | |
6:07 | A dark sinister-sounding piece, with guest vocals by Spooky the cat. Can you work out what it all means? (If you can, then please email me and let me know!) |
| November | |
7:41 | The longest, most complex song I had written at this point (1983) - my "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "MacArthur Park"! This song formed the basis of the extended MIDI work "November Odyssey" which I completed in 2005 (see below). |
| Beeblebrox Rides Again | |
3:04 | With dubbed vocal by Mark Wing-Davey (voice of Zaphod Beeblebrox). This has now been reworked into a longer suite based on Hitch-Hiker - go here for details. |
| Vienna | |
8:47 | Midge Ure's famous Ultravox song, with a central instrumental added by me. Yes, I know my vocals can't hold a candle to Midge Ure's, but that's not the point - the central instrumental is the reason why I did this, so please try to ignore my weedy voice and concentrate on the new stuff! |
| Pavanne | |
4:41 | Written as an elegy for a girl who was tragically knocked down and killed on a zebra crossing. Or was she? I still don't have the answer, despite extensive research. Anne-Marie Gallagher, where ARE you? Last seen around 1978 or 1979 in Birmingham, England. If you find this message, please PLEASE get in touch. (elwoodherring©blueyonder.co.uk). I need closure!. |
| The Marathon | |
6:23 | A superior version of the old Red Herring song. This song formed the basis of the extended MIDI work "The Ultimate Marathon" which I completed in 2005 (see below) Thanks to John McQueen for inspiring this one. |
| untitled track | |
0:45 | Some clever backwards vocals to finish off the album. |
| Interface Reconnected November Odyssey The Ultimate Marathon |
