Floating (2.8Mb 128kbps 44 kHz)
This was a track written a long time ago, when I was just getting to grips with music, I still have fond memories listening to this because I think it was one of the first things I felt I'd got right and I can't help feeling that this track became a sort of template for everything I afterwards. Written using a Roland MT32, Commodore Amiga and a sequencing package called Sonix.

Solo1 (3.7Mb 128kbps 44 kHz)
Somewhere after writing the Onyx Box, or maybe during, I can't quite remember, I had a go on one of those keyboards that you can wear around your neck, a simple backing track using some easy to follow chords and a sampled drum loop, one take and this is the result, probably the closest thing to a live performance I've done :)

The Onyx Box Demo (2.9Mb 128kbps 44kHz)
Before any real work began on the Onyx Box project I had some ideas floating around in my head during writing Cold Coffee and whilst working with the band(mentioned above). This track is the original demo of the title theme for the up and coming project. It was recorded primarily to give to Col (in the band) to ask whether he thought it was any good or not. It got the thumbs up and work began on what became the final version, which sounds nothing like this one :) ... to this day I don't think Col has forgiven me for what I did to this version.

Scrapped Extract From Nexus 8(1.23Mb 128Kbps 44 kHz)
During the creation of Nexus 8 (Opus1) there were a number of occasions where the music wasn't going in the right direction for the piece. This is a part of Opus which was later changed and consequently this bit was entirely removed. Looking back I sometimes wonder if the right decision was made. There is some dropout on this recording, because it was literally rescued from the boot of my car.

Origional Cold Coffee Ending (1.26Mb 128kbps 44kHz)
This is the origional ending to the cold coffee tape. It never made it to the final version in this form, but echos of it are still in the final version. This is sweet version and much much happier than the final version. I think all of it was done on the Roland MT32.

Scrapped Last Track From Nexus (1.3Mb 128Kbps 44 kHz)
Like most of the projects before Nexus, I intended Nexus to end on a bit of a feel good high. As it turned out, this wasn't to be, and more gentle ending was chosen. This is one of the endings for Nexus.
