I Chase The Devil AKA Ironshirt
Suggs: I first heard this track on a Lee Perry compilation - it was the last track on a four CD set and what a tremendous thing it is. The music, as always where Mr. Perry is concerned, sounded like it had come from outer space, as did Max ...

Taller Than You Are
Mark: Ever since Goliath got one in the eye and Jack chopped down the beanstalk, being tall hasn't had too many advantages. OK professional basketball players might disagree. But tell me: Why do ten huge men have to play on such a ...

La Luna
Chris: 'La Luna' was the only song I wrote on the album. We'd been playing it live before we recorded it, and [bassist) Graham Bush and Woody had this bit that was quite heavy, and I didn't like it. And we recorded the version on the album, and ...

In the City

On the Beat Pete
'On The Beat Pete' is a lively and energetic ska song crafted by Lee Thompson. The song follows the life of a local police officer, Pete, as he goes about his day. With a playful nod to the style of Ian Dury, the song's lyrics list various ...

Kitchen Floor
Woody: 'Kitchen Floor' was the first of a bunch of songs I wrote with my brother Nick. He absolutely cannot stop writing songs. He makes things quite simplistic, and his songs can be monotone - he doesn't resolve melodic lines. But that's ...

Misery
Chris: 'Misery' was Cathal again. I said, "Oh, we should get a barbershop quartet on this". And so we got this barbershop quartet to sing on the choruses, and they were really good. They recently got in touch with me, because one of them died, ...
