Pastel Collision & Kaleida MP3s, videos etc

September 6, 2008 · 2 Comments

You can listen to Wherever you go, take me with you by Kaleida (MP3), our 1996 single produced by Mike Jones of Voice of the Beehive here.

Or you can watch the video, directed by Mike Hodgkinson, here.

You can listen to or download two of our songs at this link:
1) Like Water, the B-side of the first Pastel Collision single from 1994, Young, produced by Steve Mack of That Petrol Emotion and
2) Here Comes the Summer, the A-side of our third single, from 1995. Not produced by anyone who’d been in the charts or even near them.

Unreleased-but-actually-rather-good song: Underachiever
This is a song we recorded in the autumn of 1992, as a demo, called Underachiever. People who heard all our early stuff said it was our best song, but it was never released as a record. It’s very fast, very jangly, very trumpet-led, very full-on-kitchen-sink, so if you liked Young and Like Water then you will probably like this. The quality of this MP3 is a bit tape-of-a-tape but, hey, you’re getting it for free. Recorded at West Orange in Preston, this has brilliant, brilliant drumming from a fella called Rob who only played on this one session for us, with trumpets and very nice piano by Karen Lumb from Timperley (yes, Timperley). It’s two minutes and 10 seconds long, like all the best songs are.
Anyway, enjoy Underachiever here.

    Hey:
    I think your band is fantastic. How can I buy your music?

      That’s nice, isn’t it, other readers? You can get the Kaleida LP on Amazon (priced between 35p and £44, weirdly). You can probably get it and the CD single, Wherever You Go at the Siesta Records website. Our Pastel Collision singles come up on ebay etc quite regularly. There’s also some talk of putting all our stuff together for a CD compilation or an itunes thing, but I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say ‘Watch this space’ since the average time-lapse between me getting ideas and executing them is circa 11 years
