Children's Television Themes From A Parallel Dimension

by Steve Christie's Wrong

supported by

Bailey Baleix This album is an absolute joy! If it was just an instrumental record it would still be brilliant, but the comedy and other more whimsical songs make this extra special. Most people would struggle to do either just music or comedy alone well but this is a perfect blend that manages to sound effortlessly natural, familiar and nostalgic but also totally unique.

Chris Browning Just a ridiculous joy of an album, both a very clever pastiche and frequently hilarious absurdist silliness. That one never overwhelms the other is why it works so well. A slightly broader companion to Into the Archives with Peter Fleming podcast.

Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Twentieth Anniversary Double Vinyl Version, remixed for Mono by Steve, 20 years later, at Vintage Keys Studio. Features ONE LESS track, which is always a bonus, but makes up for it in physical size and beauty, compared to the old CD version. It still fits in most larger compartments in cars, as can be seen in the last photograph.

Includes unlimited streaming of Children's Television Themes From A Parallel Dimension via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Originally released October 13th 2003.

AS FEATURED ON STUART MACONIE'S "FREAK ZONE", BBC 6

Do you remember the good old days? when the sun was always shining, and after school you'd dash home to catch the latest episode of Danny Byron, The Tomorrow Pylons, Grand fatty long legs, or the classic Nannygoat Of The North?

No? Neither do I.

A Trip Down Damaged Memory Lane

Steve Christie, a multi-instrumentalist, composer and sound engineer and Wrong, his team of talented musicians present a new 40 track collection of television themes that could have existed during the 1960s, 70s and 80s, but didn't. Living off authentic boxed air from each year in question, the boys (ok, and girls) went to a studio back in time, and created some beautiful sounds out of analogue tape and synthesizers, cellos and kitchenware.
