Praise for 'No Offenkk':
"Four impressive songs, he certainly has a fine voice." - Organ Magazine's Demo of the Week.
"Like the genetic offspring of Thom Yorke and Scott Walker if the two legendary vocaslists could somehow defy science to produce such a child..." - The Beat Surrender on 'No Offenkk'
"This is a record that grabs your attention. There's a touch of the downbeat Matt Bellamy or Thom Yorke's covers of Roxy Music." - GodisintheTV on 'No Offenkk'
"AMAZING!!!!!" - Neil Mahony, Amplifier
"[you sound like] Rufus Wainwright...I like the melancholia..." - Jo Whiley at that TV thing
"Organic" - Mike Vennart, Oceansize
"...his massive voice can probably hold a note for about an hour." - Huddersfield Student Newspaper
"...he is a true virtuoso and definitely one for the future." - 2000 Trees Festival Programme
"There have been comparisons with Thom Yorke, yet as much as I like Radiohead, I think Charlie has a better voice than Yorke." - Phil Hall, Blogger
"His mix of beat boxing loops and choral textures is hypnotic, and at its best, frighteningly beautiful." - VirtualFestival
"...suddenly it's like the room is filled by a celestial choir of Thom Yorkes only with the nasally thing somehow excised. It's round about this time that Revue and MM jointly lose the ability to form sentences." - Cath @ ManchesterMusic (Live @ Revue)

Ingredients:
• 500g Thom Yorke
• 500g Mike Vennart
• 1 packet of Matthew Bellamys (finely crushed, try to avoid the heavier pieces)
• 2 Imogen Heaps (womanhood removed, beaten with a whisk)
• 3 Tablespoons of Sainsbury’s Organic Scott Walker
• A pinch of powdered Sigur Ros
• 1 Heaped teaspoon of Dark Side of the Moon
• The zest of 1 and a half Robert Smiths
• 1 65DaysofStatic or half an Aphex Twin (chopped in half and juiced)
• A knob of unsalted Peter Gabriel, for greasing your tin
• Half a pint of condensed Pierre Schaeffer (chilled)
• Half a pint of Paul Mullen/Fyfe Dangerfield (chilled)
• A handful of crumbled Jeff Buckley for decoration
Directions:
1. Sift your Thom Yorke and Mike Vennart together in a large bowl
2. Add the 65DaysofStatic/Aphex Twin into the mixture, stirring constantly to allow plenty of air in.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together your Imogen Heaps, Scott Walker and Pierre Schaeffer until you have a thick paste
4. Combine the two, adding in your Paul Mullen/Fyfe Dangerfield to bring a little more flow into the mixture.
5. Once your mixture is smooth, add in the zest of Robert Smith and pinch of Sigur Ros, ensuring that they are spread evenly.
6. Whisk the mixture until it stands in soft (but well dressed) peaks, adding a heaped teaspoon of Dark Side of the Moon for extra thickness.
7. To make the base, tightly pack your crushed Matthew Bellamys into the bottom of your tin (making sure you’ve greased it with Peter Gabriel first to avoid sticking). TOP TIP: For your second cake, why not try mixing in a little dessicated Erik Satie or Philip Glass for extra flavour?
8. Pour your mixture over the top, decorating with crumbled Jeff Buckley.
9. Leave in your cold, dark, lonely fridge for 18 or so years until it is thoroughly set in its ways.
10. Serve with warm custard.

Hey man, Cheers for the kind words. hope the tracks sound ok, Just gonna get some artwork done and get it mastered and i'll actually have a 'Joe Rhead' CD for once in my life, haha. EPK? Sounds sweet man, can't wait. How's your recording coming along?
i'm on a watch list on youtube. i get restricted until i get more views, that is i am on a low priority bandwidth because i used a dizzee rascal video to illustrate my own songs idea.
Thanks for accepting me Take a listen to the demo's on the page and let me know what you think And if you like, download the album for free (but only until 9am Monday)
oooh nice! where are you guys playing? things are going well, swamped with work though so the music isnt going anywhere right now. invented a new genre called thrash piano though which is quite amusing :) apart from that just been doing lots of photoshoots for people and reading for dissertation! *snoooooze* how about you??
I'm planning on it soon right now I'm trying to master this "violin" thing, haha. I'm such a scatterbrain. It's always one instrument to the next I recorded a couple songs, they were just fun ukulele/keyboard songs this week. So now I have some ideas on what I want to throw together
haha gosh, that's such a long time when you think about it. I hope I start writing some "upload worthy" songs soon
I have these ideas in my head and I'll work them out but they never sound as good when I record them. I'm far to picky. It's like a writers block that comes and goes every half hour.
Yep I do. Used it a lot with my vocal percussions. The second (and last ) OS brings a whole bunch of stuff, like record into overdub (user mode) for textural or smooth transitions straight away, and my favorite is (while using the aux out for fx and a track is sending its goods) record-dry/fx tweaking. Perfect for playing and doing variations on fresh sounds while keeping them intact.. Ahhh the geeks! Heehee!
