Billy Liar is the project of bassist Andrew Mortensen. It started out as a project for Andrew to pursue his love of turntablism/hip-hop combined with dub and heavy rock/metal. Over time, it has morphed into a group effort that now contains elements from many genres.

With this remix, I decided to venture into the ambient tinged soundscape thing. It started out as being only the intro but then turned into a bit of an all-in of Billy Liar’s genres (dub, ambient, metal and turntablism).
I pretty much stuck to the original song’s arrangement and sections, just altering the groove & placement of certain parts.
The guitarists are Pat ‘Chuksing’ Wong (Leroy) and Nick Soole (Slimey Things). I really like how Nick and Pat trade off each other – both are awesome guitarists but completely different. Matt again is on drums.
Thanks (again) to Mark Clifton for the fretless loan and Nick, Pat & Matt for playing on the track.
