Well, having produced and released a couple of AI-made albums remaking other songs, I decided to re-visit my childhood and look at some of the ideas my brother Michael and I had when we were very, very young. Although we weren't musicians, we both loved music, and we put together a few songs, singing them into a tape recorder, and so on. You get the drift.
The first six tracks of the album, "Get You", "Revenge", "Are You Recording?", "Video Voodoo", "Sergent of the Bay" and "Starly" were all inspired by those songs. I couldn't remember most of the lyrics we came up with back then, so I set the Mozart AI app to work, writing new lyrics.
The second part of the album features songs where I put the app to work to come up with original songs. "Theme from Anglo-Force" and "The Wizard" were produced when I uploaded a couple of pictures I'd come up on another AI app and are related to the Anglo-Force stories I wrote thirty-plus years ago.
"Childhood Trauma, Adult Pain" was written when I asked the app to write a song based on my own childhood experiences after my mother passed away when I was twelve. The two mixed for "Dreams of Summer" came about when I uploaded a photo of my third year infants school class to the app.
Finally, there's "The Stargazer", which came about by accident when I put the lyrics to Rainbow's "Stargazer" song into the wrong part of the app. Instead of using those lyrics to make a new song the app made a completely new song based on those lyrics.
As for the cover, it's from an old school photo of me, taken when I was a lot younger and I had hair!
