Discography

In Session (Bogus Focus 2006)

Live CD with music taken from over 7 hours that we played in the Ambient Healing room of Kundalini's 10th birthday anniversary.

Track (Hot; Pot; Supper) on Awakenings CD compilation

Sort of a throwaway but features lots of Phil's guitar warped by the analogue filter and generally mucked about with in Wavelab.

Grow (Bogus Focus 2002)

This one was really just Paul (with some guitar from Andy Boland) - back in the days before he met Phil. The result is a weird blend of electronica and some kind of stoner bedroom adventure. Not quite what you would hear from the JIC today.

Live at Kulu 12th May 2006 (58Mb)

An hour of live music recorded at the party we played in Bradford back in May 2006. It's here for download, podcast, wormcast or whatever you fancy; just a little gift from us to you. All I'll say is that it came out of an odd evening where we contended with all manner of technical challenges and still came out as sane as we went in. Enjoy!

P.S. Apparently this particular mp3 is getting record downloads so it would be really lovely if you were to drop us a line or send us a message afterwards just to say "hi". Would be great to talk to more of you and get the vibe as to whether we should keep putting up files in this format. (You wouldn't believe how much stuff we have in the vaults).

Greig The Moose (6Mb)
A version of this track appeared on "In Session" and it's still one of our favourites. Perhaps it's the quirky Virus vocal wavetable sequence or Phil's scratchy guitar loop, but either way it's fun.
Excession (13Mb)
If you got the CD and wondered where the title track went, it's here. Or, indeed, if you didn't. Iain M Banks fans will understand. Probably.
A Wreck No Phobia (4.8Mb)
From the phased drums to the weird scales, you know this one is a little different. Phil's ebow soars beautifully and at about 5 mins, this version is much shorter than the CD version too but we like it.
Barney The Elk (4Mb)
We have yet to perform Andrew the Wapiti or Dave the Caribou but perhaps they'll be along in time. For now, here's a new one: Barney the Elk that we are working on. See what you think - comments welcome in the forum, as always.
In D Ka (9Mb)
This one is a little longer and around a 9Mb download. Check it out - there is plenty more to follow... :)
Dark Matter, Dark Energy (6.7Mb)
There is much we don't know. And this is some of it. A low-key, early rendition of a work in progress.
