Disk One  

1. Out Of The Depths

Steve’s very first piece of electronic music, composed and recorded in 1982 when he was in 
his final year at the University of London.  

2. New Voyager

Steve’s third piece of music recorded using Clive Nolan’s synthesizers and four-track recorder.

3. Mock The Moocher

From Mock The Moocher, the second tape by Mooch, tracks for which were recorded during 
summer 1992. This track features Conan McPhee on harmonica. Recorded with Steve’s 
Fostex 4-track machine and North London Collegiate School’s music software.

4. Fusion Reactor

From Fusions, the third tape by Mooch, tracks for which were recorded during autumn 1992. 
Having written the music, Steve used NLCS music software to create the drum and synth patterns.

5. Blissed Out

Blissed Out was a tape of four long pieces done after The Crypt Of Artificial Intelligences, 
recorded in the style of that album’s endpiece Medina Oasis.

6. Ethereal Breeze

With themes written by synth wizard Garry Lewin, this live recording, made some time in the 
mid-1990’s, shows the improvising face of Mooch at its best. Featuring Garry and Cal Lewin 
on synths, Terry Bartlett on treated guitar and Steve on guitar, it was recorded during a gig 
at Luton Arts Centre.
