Felt – ‘The Splendour Of Fear’ (Cherry Red, 1984)

Unwed Sailor – ‘The Faithful Anchor’ (Lovesick Recordings, 2001)
“When someone hears Unwed Sailor, I want them to be able to reflect in their mind…To reflect on things they’ve been through, beautiful places they’ve been and experiences that have shaped them. I want their lives to be reflected in the songs.”
Thirteen Moons – ‘Origins’ (Wire Records, 1987)
“…a Kodak dreamscape of distant spires and dewy village greens…”
Pacific – ‘Inference’ (Creation Records, 1990)
“In every race, the also-ran, in every play, the understudy, at every festival, a bottom of the bill. And so to Pacific. “
