Neil's work with long-time songwriting partner Dave Turner has proved to be    invaluable to his creative development. This limitless freedom of expression    has given birth to a wide spectrum of material, without compromising style.    Initially, Dave's recording set up consisted of a 4 Track recorder and an    eight track desk. Later Dave invested in an 8 track reel to reel machine and    a larger desk which improved flexibility and meant that the songs   could benefit from a polished production. 1993 proved   to be a very prolific year for Dave and Neil. It saw the   completion of two CD's 'Distance No Object' which   was completed by the middle of summer and 'Refraction'   which was mixed late December. Both the song titles   and the lyrical themes of 'Refraction' are based around   colours which deliberately disguises the subject matter,   almost forcing the listener to focus on the words.
