HAPPY 2024 + MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO  “Turn Your Back On the Wind” by The Fourmyula  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuX_5thg3m0 Winding back to 1969-70, Chris Andrews was working with The Fourmyula, a band from New Zealand who’d been recording at Abbey Road next door to The Beatles—musically simpatico with The Fourmyula’s harmony-driven psychedelic pop that became heavier as the band progressed. In 1968 they’d had a string of hits unmatched by any other band from NZ. Back then, NZ bands relied on doing covers of overseas songs, but The Fourmyula insisted on recording their own material. Their song “Nature,” composed by pianist/guitarist Wayne Mason, became a #1 international hit, won several awards, and went on to be covered by numerous artists over the years. It can be said they set the stage for later NZ successes like Crowded House, Neil Finn, and Split Enz.  “Turn Your Back On the Wind” was the title song of a Fourmyula album produced by Chris. In 1971 the band broke up and went home (excepting drummer Chris Parry stayed in the UK, went into A&R and production, and later launched The Cure and The Jam). Meanwhile, as musical heroes in their homeland, The Fourmyula reformed with Mason in 2010 on the heels of a CD box set celebrating their excellent recordings. “Turn Your Back on the Wind” is still getting plays. On a cosmic jukebox it goes between early Bee Gees and Marmalade... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuX_5thg3m0

Was it Real? The Dream About You (Compilation)

A (1h30m) compilation of songs about/surrounding dreams and illusion which I made for the upcoming Tpespis website. Most of these tracks (save Part Time) were fished from my (now defunct) 8tracks profile which I ran many years ago, and scaled down from about 50 songs (see this Youtube playlist). I spoke to David Loca of Part Time recently, and asked about his song “My Girl Imagination”, to which he responded “but you know, it’s a beautiful place to be, your imagination”...and from that, now there’s this.
