Personnel

Peter Nuttall - Music/Lyrics/Vocals

This was a companion album to Citadel EP which was released in June. It contained songs written with lyrics that had remained unused from the original Citadel sessions and a few unearthed gems. ‘Used, abused and confused’ was on a tape Doug gave me from a previous songwriting partnership. I just re-did the music and recorded a new vocal. As you can tell, I was still listening to a lot of Gary Numan and it felt like there would never be a Fox album without a cover of one of his tunes. I’d discovered multi-tracking by this point so ‘Demons and Angels’ was given a make-over with harmonies, which seemed to work quite well. ‘Give back life’ would have been perfect on the Vicious Sky EP but at the time I didn’t know there’d be enough material for another release within three weeks of this album so it went on here as a bonus track.
