Notes
"Here's what I wrote about this EP on my blog, over 8 years after it was first released:
The Autocity EP was a collection of four long, and fairly disturbing, sonic soundscapes that dealt with the cheerful subject of car-crashes. Yes, it was only my second release but I was already making concept records!
In the months preceding the recording of these songs a close relative of mine had been involved in a car-crash, a young guy I’d known since early childhood had been killed in a motorcycle accident, and Channel 4 screened a 3-part documentary series about car-crashes (from which I stole much of the spoken word material you can hear on the EP) so I’m guessing all of these played a part in the songwriting process.
I remember one person who listened to the CD and said they felt nauseous by the end of it. Another gave the genius one-word summation – ‘Shite’.
Either way, it was never going to be a chart-topper
It was, however, played by John Peel again and was also played on Late Junction, Radio 3’s late night, laid back music programme. (note – if you want to get large royalty cheques for very little radio play, write really LONG songs) "
About Orion :
"This track was recorded at the same time as the rest of the Autocity EP but didn't make it onto the final tracklisting, the main reason being that I released the EP on mini-CDR which only has room for approximately 20 minutes of music.
The only place this song has appeared before was on a cover mounted CD that came with the Feb 2003 issue of the fab 'Is This Music?' magazine. "
