Picture by Itxaso Díaz. One of the very early songs G brought in. ..We all 'experienced' bump notes during these recordings, but we seemed to only keep the takes with my ones, thanx guys lol. ..It's also very possible that, though odd, I was also doing 2nd backing vocals here during choruses, as per G's request, to match the vocals on what had been his original 4 track demo, but live - and I'm not...

Left to right: Colin Thurston, Paul 'PK' Kendall, ..and a brilliant Australian studio assistant whose name I think was Neil / Neal. But I've been wrong before. Roundhouse Studios, London Bridge, mid 1996. Paul McCartney's studios back then, "yaknow". Picture by Gage S. This track was *very much* finalized by Paul Kendall's lone production. He made my self-sampled, programmed drums, sound real, for...

Picture by Itxaso Díaz. The very first demoed song we recorded as dexdexter. An 'old' track Gage and I already had ready - G's guitars became crucial in order to decide keeping it was ok. But it is true too that the amount of exquisiteness featured in the way Gage had this bassline nailed down by then, the way she played against / around that drum machine, could be isolated together with the 4x4 k...

Amidst our travels from Chipping Norton residential studios, to Protocol studios, to TownHouse studios, to Blackwing studios, through London Bridge studios, to Mute Records' studios. ..What an easy going band lol. This...

The song Gage composed on bass from start to finish, which prompted the switching single from COY to ACACC. Bridges and choruses are basically JUST bass guitar, with everyone else more or less replicating the bass riff / allowing the bass riff to come through. That's what I was doing with my moog anyway. Evsplaining - lol. G was instrumental with its modal and structural arranging. cause we quite...

Picture by Itxaso Díaz. One of the v first songs Gage and I put forth, as dexdexter took form. Long track, which we knew wasn't viable 'as was', but we were always easily able to condense / drastically arrange overnight / able to extract about 5 songs from - us, and anyone else, with a track this long lol. ..Bagpipes. Get in.

Produced by Colin Thurston. Recorded for free, live in one day, for a Melody Maker promo, at Protocol studios, London, early '96. ..We seemingly did a duran studio number on this one, in that we still didn't have it quite quite finished by the time we went in the studio. I remember it being a bit loose-ends in places, kinda like fashion show garments not quite sown solidly as of yet. But when we g...

AR201222 2007, home studio, getting a tad electronic on a song Gage had originally composed on -self taught- acoustic guitar. Featuring Phil Spector 'statement' samples from the documentary 'The U.S. vs. John Lennon'. No vocoder is required whenever sampling Phil Spector's speech, but I used one just for good oblique measure. For educational purposes indeed.

Audio replaced 13/06/21 G's guitar on The Day After. F*** yep. One of the few instances where Xav backed G, playing 2nd guitar during TDA, supporting chords / supporting choppy chord bass, and the reason G got even more experimental with the very end there. Which was great. Also one of the songs where Colin Thurston's old bass chorus pedal unit later really shined, creaming this bassline to spatia...

Picture by Itxaso Díaz. Audio replaced 13/06/21 - 'slightly remastered' ..Cause here lies dexdexter... and why not. Bass and guitar were originally recorded slightly left / right, off center, as per G's advice in order to get my Boss BX16 keyboard mini mixer, with mini faders, mini buttons, mini knobs, mini-everything, to cope with the complete band signal / amplitude th/ump/th. So it is what it i...
