LOOKS LIKE A CONSPIRACY - written and performed by Keith with Owen Twidale on Keyboards.

Written about something that dare not be said. a controverial view of a building project a few miles away from my home. The saddlebow project.... a gigantic german built....paper recycling plant with a police investigation centre..with a detention centre....and the as yet ...unanamously unwanted (according to every poll or vote)Incinerator and is as yet..... the unfinished part of a greater plan which in my view is preparing for a holocoust....oh....and dont forget the speedway stadium . im not saying iindividual people or companies know of this ...im saying further up the chain of command lies an evil corrupt presence ...we must speak up now to avert disaster. this is a blueprint this is a repeat of the past.

FEEL THE CHANGE - written by Keith and Ian ,vocals Keith and Ian , accoustic guitar and drums Keith , keyboards Ian , Guitar solo Adrian "mole" Walpole , backing vox Anna.

FEEL THE CHANGE celebrates the heroes of the peace movement such as Ghandi, Martin Luther King , John lennon , and J.F.K. reminding people that the new world order and the elite are forever advancing their agenda and that we human beings need to become consious and understand that peace does work.

MASTERPLAN - written by Keith and Dave , vocals dave and Keith , guitars Mole and Lee , Bass plumbjam debut by Steve Mathews and Drums Keith

Let democracy end the new world order through education and peaceful means.

JUNGLE DRUMS written by Keith , vocals Anna n Keith , Drums Keith , Keyboards Ian , Guitars Lee.

Jungle drums was a mammoth project . There were times when I thought the laptop was going to explode , there were that many tracks going on at once. The theme of Jungle drums is the vision quest . The reason for music and rythmic drumming in the first place, but more than that though, jungle drums illustrates the connection and commonality between the visionquest and modern music , fusing the two together . The notes at the beginning of the track before the guitar kicks in are solfeggio notes . An ancient musical scale ,where each of the six notes in the scale have powers and qualities.

I drove Ian crazy nagging him to create these notes on his keyboard ...in the end we had to individually sample each one and use a midi divice to create the notes. This was important to me as I am interested in the numerous legends of the power of music ...from the walls of Jericho to the pied piper of Hamlyn ...the notes played on this track at the beginning are exactly correct to the scale , My wife Anna sings all the chants in this and mixed really low in the chant vocals are my son and daughter Oliver and Millie , who were 9 and 8yrs old respectively at the time .

TIMELOOP - the second song from our fourthcoming album , written by Keith and Ian vocals keith and Ian , keyboards Ian , guitar Keith , drums Keith

Timeloop was inspired by our trip to see david Icke at Brixton september 11 2010 . this song describes the gulf between an open and closed mind. consiousnes has maany levels.

I AM STRONG - written by Ian and Keith , vocals Keith , backing vocals Ian , acoustic guitar Keith , drums Keith , Keyboards Ian ,Guitars Lee , Bass Rob .

This song was written to say thankyou to my wife Anna for putting up with me . Anna is the single most beautiful woman I have ever met and I could not imagine life without her . without Anna I would not be who i am..she is my mirror she is my life...As always however , I couldnt resist the political slant

SHAMAN DAYS - written by Dave n Keith , vocals Dave n Keith , guitars Dave n Lee , bass Lee , Drums Keith.

Ah Shaman days... Another Dave n Keith job . This time however we utilised Lee's awesome guitar skills to really rock this one up . I love a good rock out ! Shaman days is about the popularisation of the paranormal in recent years with T.V. shows like most haunted. I watch them because I am an open minded person but my comment here is , if there are people who can communicate with spirits and tell the future etc , then we need to listen to what they've got to say and we've got to ask serious questions of what reality is , and not just treat it as a T.V. show and go on Spooky holidays !

 

AVALON - written by Keith and Anna , vocals Keith and Anna, acoustic guitar Keith , skins Keith , bass Rob.

Memories of good times and hope for the future.

DOWN2BASE - written by Keith , vocals Keith , guitars keith , keyboards n bass Ian.

I wrote this song some time ago , but not with exactly the same lyrics . The song didn't feel right untill I had the new lyrics in place as it didnt have purpose . The lyrics just came together one day and I fooled with several approaches to song structure , etc . Including guitar solos and stuff , but again , it just didnt feel right . It remained in limbo until I played my good friend Ian a broken down version of the song with just me playing guitar and singing . Ian instinctively played along to it and I hit the record button . What you hear is that very version ! Down2base was completed there and then.

Time.....written by Jerry Catmul, vocals Jerry , guitars Jerry , Bass Brian , Drums Keith

This, Jerry Catmull's fourth track (following on from "If", "Not Alone" and "To A Rose") will be available to buy on i-Tunes from 1st June 2010.

..Inspired by the spiritually healing powers of the Ganges river in India, where hundreds of thousands of pilgrims amass at Varanassi every year, this song asks the question whether in fact "Time" is the great healer..

BODYSNATCHERS - written by keith , drums and vocals keith , guitars Lee and bass Jamie Tripp

How better to have a moan and a groan than to sing da blues!......INVASION INVASION!

REALITYCHECK - written by Ian and Keith , vocals Keith and Ian , drums Keith , keyboards Ian , Guitar Chris Everritt.

....This song realy needs no explaination other than .....WAKE UP PEOPLE !! PEACE IS THE ONLY WAY !!

....what is rality?

CND - written by Keith , vocals Keith ,Guitars and tamborine Keith , Bass and backing vocals , Dave.

This song was written about 20 years ago , the first verse through to chorus is straight from the original version . Anna reminded me about this song and It kinda spooked me out about the relevance of the song in todays world , so I just had to record it . the last time I recorded this track it was on a tape recorder with a built in microphone , and I was proud as punch ! Thank heavens for the laptop . (some swearing).

NEWORLDORDERDANCE..written by Keith , vocals keith and Dave , Keyboards Keith and Dave , Guitars Lee , Bass Rob.

"for refusal to dance to the new world orders tune you are hereby accused of terrorism....take him away for torture!"

SHADOWWORLD - written by Keith and Dave , guitar and lead vox Keith. Bass and backing vox Dave

In time honoured fashion , Dave came up with the chords and I wrote the lyrics and together we developed the melody. Its one of my personal favorites

MILITANT BOOT - written and performed by Chris Everritt .

Again , the lyrics need no explaination , this was chris's first song contribution and i look forward to many more . video for the song below

AGENDA 150 - written by Keith and Ian , vocals Ian and Anna , keyboards Ian , guitars Mole , drums Keith.

This is my first entry (Ian). Agenda 150, so called because Keith demanded it be at 150bpm... I wanted to do a ballad but Keith was determined this was going to be fast and in your face. So not only did i have smoke coming off my fingers playing the keyboard and piano parts, trying to rap at that speed was comical. But we pulled it off in the end. I must admit i wished i'd filmed Keith recording the drum loops, he looked like was in fast forward. Peace and love people. Enjoy.

NOT ALONE - written by Jerry , vocals Jerry , guitars Jerry , keyboards Ian , bass Lee , drums Keith.

This song was inspired by Jerrys feelings for his girlfriend who went backpacking round the world on her own, and is a non politicaly motivated piece. This was the second song I worked on with Jerry on this album and we had a lot of fun with the rythm

SUNSHINE CITY - written by keith , vocals Keith and Ian , guitars Keith , keyboards Ian , drums Keith

Sunshine city is all about optimism and life changing decisions , maybe , just maybe we can have paradise on earth.But only if we wake up and open our minds.

KILL OR CURE - written by keith , drums , acoustic guitar , keyboards and vocals keith , backing vocals Anna , electric guitars Charl-Jacques Kruger ( welcome aboard mate), bass guitar Steve mathews.

Recorded after a short break to rejuvinate and take stock of things. special thanks to charl , whose debut recording contribution was a great deal of fun to do.

TO A ROSE - written by Jerry catmull , vocals jez , guitars jez , drums keith , keyboards Ian

another cracker from jez

THE KINGS NEW CLOTHES - Adapted by Keith , Vocals Keith , Bass Rob , Drums Keith , special guests Oliver and Millie

A remake of the famous tale , and a lot of fun to do. For me , the motivation was creating a song that kids could get in to and relate to whilst educating listeners to the perils of following the crowd and the benifits of independant thought.

Banana Chan...Written by Keith Twidale, vocals Stacey Fuller , guitars Lee Batiuk, Bass Brian Toll ,Bagpipes Rob Warnes , Keyboards Ian Brown , Drums Keith.

If... - Written by Jerry , vocals Jerry , guitars Jerry , bass Lee , keyboards Ian , drums Keith.

If was our fist song with Jerry under the Plumbjam project . The song came together over two evenings and we enjoyed working with jerry greatly . His songwriting skill are inspiring and I really feel that the plumbjam project became more complete during this recording.

SORRY - written by keith , vox guitars and drums keith , dave bass

An apology to those of you who get sick and tired about me going on about whats realy happening in the world...shame on you.

FUNKSONG - written by Keith, vocals , drums ,guitar Keith , keyboards Ian ,saxaphone Mark.

Funksong contains swearing. I was commenting on my feelings of remoteness and dispair at a particularly difficult period of my life . I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the time hence the line "Id be on heroin but i hate needles".The rest was just intuition telling me things are very wrong.

MAGIC MAN - written by Dave n Keith , vocals Dave n Keith , guitar n bass Dave , Keyboards Ian , drums Keith.

Magic man was a typical Dave and Keith (me) collaboration. By that , I mean that by and large , Dave comes up with the chords and I come up with the lyrics. I wrote magic man with the south american legends in mind , of quetzacotl , a magical being who is prophesised to return one day.

9 BAR BLUES - written by keith , vocals Keith n Ian , guitar Keith , Keyboards Ian , Drums Keith.

I was angry when I wrote this song and I felt betrayed. Sometimes one is guilty of lowering ones self to others levels . On these occasions beware , the good guys are rookies when it comes to the law..... Get in with the synthesizers Ian ! Moody and attitude with Irony - some swearing.

I DONT KNOW- written by Oliver, vocals , drums and guitar Oliver, keyboards Ian , Bass Dave

I dont know was inspired by oliver who asked if he could record a track of his own .He composed the guitar and drums entirely on his own and had a helping hand with the lyrics from me. Ian and Dave both offered to assist by laying down keyboards and bass. Oliver is ten years old..

THE DEVIL MAY CARE - written by Ian n Keith , vocals Keith n Ian , Keyboards Ian , drums Keith.

The devil may care was written and recorded by Ian and myself in one evening , From out of the blue .The lyrics were supposed to be about James Bond , but ultimately they were about me or rather my inner fears. The naration in the middle is the antedote . The realy crazy thing about the lyrics of this song is that they were written before I had seen the "cremation of care" ceremony recorded by Alex Jones at Bohemian grove (see conspiracy T.V. coin) . When I went back and listened to the track after seeing the youtube video of bohemian grove , I was amazed and a little freaked out at how the lyrics of the song related to the motivations of the ceremony and the issues it raises
