‘SONGCYCLE 2011” is an extravagant and timeless masterpiece, which clearly reflects Todd Dillingham’s superability to create a full-scale immersion of a range of styles (mid-sixties British psychedelic, baroque pop and folk rock music) in a seamless and multi-layered conceptual richness that exceeds far beyond the expected with daunting musical melodramatics; coherently built upon a crossover of artistic excellence and genius experimental lunacy! Although, the songs seamlessly merge, each track stands alone with precise time passages and individual surrealistic landscapes consisting of both mundane and trivial elements, ludicrous hooks and incredible sound effects in a quadraphonic setting similar to the 1970’s demo records with spoken anthemic chorus and laughable rhythm sections with existentialist themes, abstract rationalism and intrinsically everything recorded out of the ordinary utilizing a freedom of expression to influence the particular state of mind of magnificent madness! Whilst remaining incredibly intact with beautiful vocal harmonies and tender ballads that reveal full consciousness with thoughtful feelings and flavoursome taste in the form of an intelligent and outstanding, classic work of art! In addition to Dillingham’s fabulous lead vocals and immense talent; “SONGCYCLE 2011” is accompanied with beautiful orchestration and backing vocals by the multi-talented Wim Oudijk; and Pete McCabe on Banjo; Pete McPartland - Uke; Pete Burns - Mandolin; Adrian Shaw - bass; Dennis Holseybrook - organ; and Fred & Rita - guitars, bass, sounds and backing vocals.
Plus the album includes fabulous cover art and a booklet with an assortment of impressive psychedelic images created by Todd’s brother Mick Dillingham; with additional spit and polish from Pete McCabe. “SONGCYCLE 2011” is a beautiful innovative album fully loaded with stunning ballads, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and incredible sound effects that will take you on a wild, psychedelic journey far beyond the boundaries of mainstream music into uncharted territories that are rarely attempted! So grab a copy of “SONGCYCLE 2011” today and fasten your seatbelt and get ready to “Let Your Colours Run!” Congratulations to Todd Dillingham for his master work!!!
