about

Green Monkey is rather pleased to present Tom Dyer – Songs from Academia Vol. 1: Songs with Singing, 1981 - 2009. The 14 song (plus top secret bonus track) album is Dyer’s first official release since 1984. Music aficionados may purchase the Deluxe Edition online, which includes Four Panel Printed Eco-sleeve, Printed Insert & Full-Color CDR duplicated using MFQA® (Master Full Quality Audio).

The album cuts a wide swath stylistically, ranging from “mad-bull in a China shop” real-band-rock, to experimental studio pop where Dyer plays anything required, from saxophone to Theremin. Dyer reflects, “I am excited to finish this project exactly at its scheduled time. When I set the goal of October, 2009 those 28 years ago, it seemed like a stretch. I really think this project shows how an artist can develop if they set their mind to it and have a good calendar.”

SECRET BONUS TRACK - I’m Your Man (1991). Recorded by B.L.O.G. (Bunch of Lame Old Guys) Mach 1, a one-off studio band, at the Art Institute of Seattle during a “faculty meeting.” Some of our finest songs were made up on the spot, this one I wrote in advance. If I had to guess, I would say Roy Scimeca, Keith Livingston and Dave Wheeler play on this, but I can’t guarantee it. B.L.O.G. previously had a Secret Bonus Track, "Heavin’ Tiny Sandwiches," on the Art Institute CD, The Young and The Restless.
