never the time (1998)

I put three different versions of this on the 'chill to this' album - the full extended mix (the one this extract is taken from), a single edit, and a voice and piano free improvisation.

I'm very grateful to the performers for their interpretations:

Mike Henry (voice)
James Lumley (Guitar)
Tony Maloney (Percussion)

The piece rolls along with a kind of 'swing' feel, alternating verse and chorus. On the album this mix cross-fades into the final track 'chill to this'.

It was mixed on an anologue desk - no automation! I quite like the performance element of doing it that way, but which of us is brave enough to refuse modern technology these days?
