But then I realised it was utterly pointless, as I have more than nine major musical influences, so I did another one... But I still didn't have space for Pet Shop Boys, Wire, Love, Serge Gainsbourg, Shirley Bassey, Sparks, Virgin Prunes, Japan, Tuxedomoon, John Foxx, The Sweet, Heaven 17 etc. etc.

9 more album covers - from my formative years. Simple Minds, XTC, Pyrolator, Françoise Hardy, John Barry, Philip Glass, Psychedelic Furs, Echo & The Bunnymen, DAF.

My friends did the 9 albums thing and I didn't want to feel left out, so I did one too.

9 album covers - from my formative years. Kraftwerk, Associates, Cocteau Twins, Scott Walker, Propaganda, Orfeo ed Eurydice, Morricone, Yello and Sakamoto.

Here's a photo of Heather that I took in #NewHaven, CT, USA in the early 1990s, which I used for a Beautiful Pea Green Boat live album cover. She used an OM1 too - it was her idea I get one! #b&w #blackandwhitephotoography #OlympusOM1 #filmphotography #kodak #diner #BeautifulPeaGreenBoat #dreampop

Americans are always going on about the stabbings in London but there's scarcely any mention of the shark attacks terrorising the city.

Here's a teaser I made for my #ambient #soundscape album, All Becomes Desert. #analogue #synthsky #rolandjuno106 Since we're apparently stuck under a so-called 'heat dome', it seemed more relevant than the happy snaps of people on beaches the media usually pump out at times like these...

I've been wondering if any of my music had been stolen for AI purposes, and found this - among a set of 9m+ tracks was the first Beautiful Pea Green Boat album. Where do I send my invoice, or do I need to send the boys round? #musicsky #synthsky #dreampop #AIcrime

1st of May 2026. Save the date. In 1986 I made a series of improvisations designed as a work aid for tapestry student friends at Edinburgh Art College, titled Soundtracks For Weaving. Only had it on cassette, but now have the tech to complete and release it. #synthsky #RolandSH101 #RolandTR707

A much needed #studio revamp. Found the wood - I'm no carpenter but it works for me! Also found the really nice cupboard at the end a couple of days ago which complements the desktop nicely, and gives me extra storage. Total cost? About £6 - for the wheels and wood oil! #osmose #minifreak #synthsky
