A song about dissatisfaction, circa 1982-83.
This is the original demo of my song Too Bloody Much that I recorded with our Fairlight CMI (Computer Music instrument) at ESP Studios, Buttonville, Ontario, Canada in the 1980’s.

The other instruments were programmed in Page R and the Fairlight CMI was running live, in sync, when mixed down to 2-track. This one and only mix was discovered and recovered by Frank Watt, who is owed a wee dram (or two)!
