Scratched his head, then pulled his ear
Reached out for a glass of beer
Ricky's hand
From the pocket it pulled five pound
Ricky bought another round
Ricky's hand
In the dark it found his zip
Wiped his mouth when he was sick
Ricky's hand
Six pints later he waved goodbye
Picked his nose and squashed a fly
Ricky's hand
Slamming the door it grasped the wheel
Now Ricky's full of man appeal
Ricky's hand
Ricky contravened the highway code
The hand lies severed at the side of the road
Ricky's hand

Perfectly crafted computer generated music. I hear something new each time I listen; the intricacies are innumerable and it's clear that so much consideration has been given to every sound. Excellent! Microchip Junky
Beautiful songs. Beautiful production. The opening track is an instant winner. There's not many that can manage sparse electronics with voice and have it sound this good. Quite brilliant! Microchip Junky
