#FromTheArchive CD of the unreleased Mark Owen album I co-produced 20 years ago...Bolstered by positive response to the "Falling Star" track I posted yesterday, I went a-searching on YouTube for others. As nothing apart from Falling Star and 4 Minute Warning was ever released from the album, I was surprised to find this, the album's title track, Spirit Rise, a fabulous track that Mark wrote.

The "pop Talk Talk" production influence that I mentioned yesterday is ever more more evident here, we even got Mark Feltham in to play his classic TT-style harmonica; Mark sang, I did keyboards and "weirdness".

#HPJukebox A song I co-wrote with Mark Owen & Guy Batson from Mark's 'lost' album "Spirits Rise".
Richard Norris & I produced the album in 2000, Mark won "Celebrity Big Brother", signed a new deal and sadly most of the album was shelved (not "pop" enough?).
I'm pleased this track actually made it onto a Japanese release years later.
PS We actually did randomly pick chords out of a hat to come up with the song (and only cheated once!).
