This track is now available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections - his first year of random romps through the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head.
Another off-beat find by the fingers of Mister Stormy. This time it’s Robert in Studiobelewbeloid circa March 2002. I suppose this could almost be a tone poem given the musical properties filtering the voice!
