You filled my soul There's nothing left You pierced my soul Is this release? I said I'd drown for you. I can't turn on you, though you turned from me. I can't feel the shore Can you see me? I can't feel the shore Is this release? I said I'd drown for you. I can't turn on you, though you turned from me. You turned from me, still I can't turn on you. Shallow but drowning Shallow but drowning Shallow but drowning Shallow but drowning The tide turns on me The tide turns on me The tide turns on me The tide turns on me Shallow but drowning The tide turns on me.

about

These rehearsal sessions were originally recorded by Merv Carswell at NC Studios, Swindon, UK, between April and July 2004.
He then mixed and mastered them, out of the kindness of his heart.
The original files were then lost sometime during the next year or two and the masters lay dormant on a dusty shelf.

Five years later, Gary performed some minor surgery on one of the tracks and remastered all five, but still they didn't see the light of day.

Now, however, thanks to Gary getting his shit together and the mastering skills of audio magician Stu Rowe, The Beat Monkeys Demos are finally deemed fit for human consumption and offered here, for you, dear listener.
