| Year | Mins | Description of individual pieces on CD (Click on the titles for more info.) | Hitch-Hiker Suite | 1986 | 08:16 | Fast-moving sequenced synth pop made on the Yamaha. |
| Upandunder Overture | 1979 | 04:13 | A MIDI reworking of my first synthesiser piece from 1979. |
| Chinese Cheesecake | 1979 | 04:14 | A wierd musical "perpetuum mobile". |
| Nova | 1979 | 05:53 | A giant musical crescendo like an exploding star. |
| Variations on a Lennon/McCartney Theme | Mar 2005 | 09:45 | My arrangement of "It's for You" by Lennon & McCartney, for strings & harp. The CD version was made using the Garritan Personal Orchestra, and sounds like the real thing. |
| Vertigo | 1986 | 06:30 | Trippy swirly perpetuum mobile which goes right off the rails at the end. Don't look down! |
| Just Passing Through | 1982 | 04:45 | A MIDI reworking of the old Red Herring instrumental, with added effects. |
| Herringbone Concerto | 1980 | 15:04 | Jaunty guitar & synth piece which goes way back to 1980 when I was just 22 and starting to experiment with multi-track recordings with annoyingly cheap and primitive equipment. See how many UK Children's TV theme tunes you can spot in it! |
| here i go | 1980 | 03:00 | Take Syd Barrett's moody post-Floyd song, strip off the vocals (sorry, Syd), raise the pitch by about a fifth, speed the whole thing up and add a couple of bubbly synths, and this is what you get. | Pete's Piano Piece | 1978 | 02:00 | This piece isn't actually by me, but my friend Peter, who improvised this little piece in 1978. |
| The Left Bank (arr. Elwood) | 2008 | 04:50 | I recently decided to have a go at revamping the old "Vision On" gallery theme. It was never heard fully on the programme, and the original is only two minutes long anyway. So I added some improvisations of my own. See if you can spot another famous and quite relevant tune I sneaked in at one point! |
| The Last Herring | 1984 | 04:30 | Another instrumental band piece. Sounds a bit like "Egyptian Reggae" by Jonathan Richman (but isn't). |
| Elwood's Xmas song | 2007 | 02:27 | The Upandunder tune with Xmas lyrics added. |
