@MoonBassAIpha took a deserved win for February and of course, had the honour of the picture choice for March. He Chose , he Posted and he thus Mused... "I've been thinking about the photo and this came to mind. I was working a short contract in Oxford with a group who make instruments for satellite and lander missions and had a spell in the clean room. I thought this could suggest more sinister stories though..." Thus inspiring the following pieces for your entertainment . Please choose your favourite 3 tracks and vote accordingly 1 @Baloney Balderdash As last time recorded through this setup (bar the added Orange Juice overdrive in place of clean blend with the Turbo RAT distortion) : 2 @Leonard Smalls My song is meant as accompaniment for our Grand Theft Auto hero's getaway which was top-fuelled by nicking the large cylinder of nitro (*)... 3 @AndyTravis In my head it worked…I’d best describe it as a challenging listen 4 Lurksalot Its a soundscape as a theme to a scene that may be transpiring 5 @Jean-Luc Pickguard Our gowned-up hero is actually an undercover Roman Catholic scientist working under direction of the Pope in the top secret research laboratorium deep below the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican City. In the Eucharist Magnification experiment, scientific methods are used to electronically multiply the benediction beam, and exponentially amplify and concentrate the consecration field generated during the sacrament of the Eucharist. The objective of this experiment is to transubstantiate a loaf of sourdough bread into the reanimated head of the Messiah. 6 @alibabu This months entry is more of a short interlude than a full song, but it is a start! 7 @upside downer A dystopian tale of chilling proportions. An exploratory way of dealing with miscreants is underway, conducted by scientists at a secret governmental location. It's all so clinical and a frosty reception awaits the poor souls who are the recipients of this cryotherapy. 8 @MoonBassAlpha There's a very non-benign alien secured in the lab. We found an annoying frequency that it doesn't like either. It's dark sticky mass squirms in discomfort until it expires. Or does it... Well there we have it, fantastic stuff yet again! Vote for your favourite 3 Voting closes midnight 31st March

Great stuff , I’ll get on the vote thread when I get back from work.

Here is mine Its a soundscape as a theme to a scene that may be transpiring No great technical things to say , piano main with undercurrents from a couple of synths, a few percussive throw ins and some sound FX from my phone.

Next ticketed gig is Red Rum Club …at Aintree 16th May

I’ll edit it for you Andy when I fire up the PC , I don’t like to try it on the mobile , it’s too easy to F it up

No problem choosing a different recording as long as it is done in the time frame of the challenge .

Well , I say danced , his shoulders moved with a reasonably rhythmic resonance 😁

I did a little bit of digging on him , but to be honest I didn’t find much that I could handle more than 10 minutes of. The 10 minutes was OK but I’d had enough, I’d be back in the Golden Eagle after 11 mins 😁 it also looked like he just pressed play on his laptop then danced a bit 😁 I’ll be in Nantwich at some point over Easter , there is normally a good day to be had at the festival visiting stages and pubs

Probably a couple of quid , but I’m not fussed about postage , if you want them just send me your details via PM

It’s packs. I can’t be blessed splitting them all if you want a pack , PM your address and I’ll send them in the week

I bought a load as we were going to have an open mic street party just after covid , but all the neighbours bottled it and thought we’d get dobbed in to the rozzers. everyone could have their own mic shield and all would be good, as long as they didn’t go off swinging after a few home brews. regardless , I have no packs left , sorry ….. but here’s what you could have won …

The guitarist in an old band I was in would often refer to 'The Meat Sweats' a beautiful name for a band , but related more to when he used to have Christmas dinner at his mums house, then off to have Christmas dinner at his girlfriends parents
