This is an exclusive version of THE RAISIN INVASION from 2026's THE UNLIKELY RETURN OF SHY YETI album (originally recorded in 2024.) It is made up of two previously ununsed mixes of the song and was presented on episode 810 of THE SHY LIFE PODCAST in mid-March 2026. This is an additional clean download of the song, which is not interrupted by speaking from the podcast.

An extended version of this track for end of THE STRANGE WORLD OF SHY YETI album! Plenty of opportunity for dancing!

This third version of THE DANCE OF THE STONES for THE STRANGE WORLD OF SHY YETI has more of a indie dance pop feel!

The second version of this song on THE STRANGE WORLD OF SHY YETI album! It's sort of in the style of a mid-80s indie band such as Propaganda.

An extended version of BEARS WHO EAT PIES for THE STRANGE WORLD OF SHY YETI album. More chance to have a little dance around the living room!

Another early track written for THE STRANGE WORLD OF SHY YETI album in 2024 - I had to do one about Sutton Park; the bizarre improvised video series that I made between 1992 and 2001, with many returns in different formats since! This one definitely has early Human League and Cure influences - although it's pretty poppy too!

This is based on a poem that I wrote a while back now called MICE, TAP-DANCING which I've always been fond of. It was the last song to be completed for the album. SQUEAKY KERFUFFLE is a line from the song and was one of the titles that Udio suggested and so I thought that I'd keep it! This version for THE STRANGE WORLD OF SHY YETI album is the shorter radio edit version!
