  • CD in Recycled Card Sleeve

    Now available to the USA and Canada (and the rest of the world too) for the first time, in the form of a black vinyl-replica CD, simply packaged in a LIMITED EDITION hand assembled recycled manilla card sleeve with cover art.

    Mendip Rock was released in the spring of 2008, and contains an extended cover version of the delightful Jagger/Richards authored foray into space rock, "2000 Light Years From Home", which originally appeared on the Stones' 1967 album, Their Satanic Majesties Request.

    Mendip Rock was a download-only release, until now. The incompatibility of international licensing laws make it cost-prohibitive and difficult to sell the cover song as a download outside of the UK/Europe, so as a result there has been no way to purchase this EP from outside the UK until now. Fortunately, it's much easier to license CDs than downloads!

lyrics
Eyes on the highway;
ears in the wall.
You do what you’re supposed to;
you think you’re fooling them all.

You bought a packet of ideas
to make an instant point of view.
With no opinions of your own,
how dare you tell me what to do?

Days filled with distractions;
keeping boredom at bay
takes all your attention—
you’ve got nothing to say.

But the conceit of ignorance,
the safety of your common ground—
It makes you open up your mouth
because you love to hear the sound.

Maybe when I was made
there was a flaw in the mould,
but I can’t see why people
would choose to do as they’re told.

Perhaps I am not here;
signs all point to that.
Look in my direction—
what are you looking at?

The journalists, they have no words;
the media is out of touch.
Convince yourself I don’t exist,
and I won’t bother you so much.
