This album was actually recorded much earlier than its release date; was free on MySpace at some point; is available on Last.fm to listen to; and is now here.
This is the first "real" solo album for me, and is a collection of semi-autobiographical short stories. One of the tracks was featured on the BBC Jazz Awards 2008 album. It was recorded on a Windows 98 PC using the lowest quality soundcard I could find, so it has to be listened to at full volume with big speakers or great headphones.
It's totally crunchy and dirty, and is one of my favourite things.
