The Story Of What Came Next   -  10 Years Of Powtunes Total Running Time: 32 mins 37 sec. To celebrate 10 years of Powtunes music, we have put together this compilation of our favourite Powtunes tracks. We were so excited about this project that we also decided to add some brand new tracks,  including the first Vickers Pike release in 10 Years! For our own indulgence, and just in case you're interested (!), we have listed on this page any details we could think of about each of the tunes on the album!!  You will note whilst reading that the name 'Barnaby Oliver' crops up alot!!   We would like to take this opportunity to thank Barney for the considerable time and effort he put into helping make this project happen

1. Tony Vickers (Project 1) - The Hammer   (RMX)   (6 mins 36 secs) Tony Vickers : Programming, & Guitars Doug Pike : Bass, & Guitar Solo. Barnaby Oliver : Synthesizers Mixed and Mastered By Barnaby Oliver Original version first released on the Powtunes EP "Any Means Of Payment" Tony:   "I was not entirely satisfied with the original mix,so my good friend Barnaby Oliver offered to RMX it and wow what a contrast. A real great opener for the compilation I am sure you would agree. Riffing stuff..!"

2. Vickers Pike - Free Yourself   (Make It Stop)   (2 mins 42 secs) Tony Vickers : Programming, Guitars, Samples, Bongos Doug Pike : Octave Mandola, Bass & Bongos Mixed and Mastered By Barnaby Oliver This track is previously unreleased. Doug:  "This was put together from a little melody that had been floating around my head for a while, along with a clip of a speech by 60's freedom of speech campaigner Mario Savio that we spotted on TV. Tony then developed the idea, doing wonders with the speech sample, incorporating a tasty beat, and adding some crunchy and eerie guitar!"

3. Tony Vickers (Project 1) - Heat Of The Night   (5 mins 7 secs) Tony Vickers : Programming, Guitars & Bass Barnaby Oliver : Synthesizers Mixed and Mastered By Barnaby Oliver This track is previously unreleased. Tony: This version was actually intended to be the RMX, however when I heard both mixes I opted for this instrumental version. However we still included the vocal mix as a bonus track which was my vocal debut!."

4. Doug Pike - The Globetrotter   (2 mins 50 secs) Doug Pike : Programming, Bouzouki, Mandolin, Acoustic Guitar, And Bass. Mixed by Doug Pike,  Mastered by Barney Oliver First released on the Powtunes EP "Unclench!" Doug:  "I suppose this was my attempt at a 'Zorba The Greek' type thing on the bouzouki (!), whilst the title comes from my tendancy a few years back to visit different places in the world to run marathons!!"

5. Tony Vickers (Project 1) - Dub "U" Like   (2 mins 52 secs) Tony Vickers : Programming, Samples, & Simmons drums Mixed By Tony Vickers,  Mastered By Barnaby Oliver First released on the Powtunes EP "Elctronicvoice" Tony:  "This was my attempt in creating an industrial Dub track, at the time I was listening to a lot of experimental Dub, and this was the outcome. Not bad, huh? What surprises people is that it was actually recorded on mine & Doug’s old four track tape machine."

6. Pthorax 991 - Ivanswood   (3 mins 27 secs) Mark Summers : Programming, Guitar, Bass, Vocals Barnaby Oliver : Piano, Backing Vocals & Hand claps Leah Waterworth : Backing Vocals & Hand Claps Mixed and Mastered By Barnaby Oliver First released on the Powtunes EP "Pthorax 991"

7. Vickers Pike - The Invisible Man   (5 mins 26 secs) Tony Vickers : Drums, Samples Doug Pike : Bass Paul Forest : Guitars Mixed By John Blakely,  Mastered By Barnaby Oliver First released on the Powtunes EP "Whatever Came Next...Bill?" Doug: "This was effectively the first ever Powtunes track! It originated from practice sessions at the ramshackle old boathouse on the river Thames in Reading that Tony's uncle rented at that time, featuring just me on bass and Tony on drums. Initially, it was purely instrumental until Tony dug out some old grainy audio clips from 'The Invisible Man' film featuring the great Claud Rains. To my astonishment at the time, the samples worked really well, and the resultant track ultimately set the tone for what Powtunes is all about."

8. Tony Vickers - (Project 1) Heat Of The Night   (Vocal Mix) (3 mins 33 secs) Tony Vickers : Programming, Guitars, Bass, Vocals Barnaby Oliver : Synthesizers Mixed and Mastered By Barnaby Oliver This track is previously unreleased. Tony: "The lyrics were inspired by the 1967 Sci-Fi / Thriller film ‘’Night Of The Big Heat’’, starring my screen hero Peter Cushing. It’s about a heatwave hitting the remote Scottish island of Fara, and the rising temperatures are due to alien visitors!! Classic stuff…"
