For some reason all the portals (except iTunes) have used the SONGWRITING
credits as the name of the artist for this album!! I think it was a coding
error with my broker who sent them the tracks.
When I search on my own name -- my two solo albums appear along with Dee's live
album [scroll to the very bottom]:

I guess it depends on the influences of the listener. I regularly get people
telling me the stuff sounds like KLAATU...which I have to take with a grain of
salt. People who don't know my connection to the band never mention it...so
it's truly in the ears of the beholder.
I get the Midnight Oil thing on the song "Cast Iron Pillow" -- but the song was
written before Midnight Oil even existed. I was listening to a lot of Peter
Shelley (of The Buzzcocks) when I wrote this....I think, subliminally, it's a
rip-off of "Homosapien". When we took the demo and recreated it, the bass
started sounding more "Peter Gunn"-ish...so we ran with that. But a song like
"Heart Attack" -- which was written in 1980 as well -- is a straight up Kiss
meets Deep Purple/Status Quo anthemic rocker. And the other 1980 tune "You've
Done It This Time" is not only an homage to The Cars -- people think it's a
COVER of a Cars tune. :-)
Parson's "Time"; the Korgi's "Everybody's Gotta Learn Some Time" (which I've
posted the video for on the Bullseyecanada YouTube station); and Australia act
The Church's "Unguarded Moment" are all no-nonsense cover tunes originally
recorded by their respective artists in 1980. You may see a theme running
here....
Yeah, I'm a little schizophrenic. And I get even more schizo on the "Nightmare
@ 20,000 Watts" album....adopting a different sound for every song just like a
playlist on the old AM radio stations that we grew up listening to.
