[Kozmo198]

i need the download link for ramirez theme from the battle of haditha soundtrack

[annstover]

Brilliant, bonkers...but brilliant.

[violetvwatson]

a small cluttered apartment, but a brilliant mind that is healing. We all need time to find our self regardless of what age. I turned to higher power which gave me stability. he gave me hope for a better future. How kind loving forgiving and all wise. I Did my years of many mix-up moments of insecurities. |Wish the best for you nick. keep praying and you will find the answer. YHWH....

Pretty cool view of a life, of a time spent (but my God that kitchen!)

Bought all the Dr Ac albums (all 3) I could find in the 80s-early 90s. Unlike alot of stuff from then, still listen to them now & again. (Remembrance Days prob my fave.) They never were in fashion, I guess, but it was prob fashion that swept them away. ADKoW sounded like they were ending, dissipating. Wasn't surprised they broke up. Wondered where they went (the cor anglias girl did a solo album). Now Trashmonk

[sonnyminimal]

Cool. Never knew this existed.

[BelligerentGoal]

Thanks so much for posting this. I had this on my old PC but the disk failed and the Creation site this was originally on was removed yonks ago. Was way ahead of its time as a promo device, and extremely well done.

Where's the second album we've been promised for years?

NLC looking worryingly like the dj Mike Reid here :O lmao.

[connorstreet]

The 2nd album is done per Nick. He's just waiting to try and find a label to release it properly since Creation and then Poptones went under. That's music in this century for you.

One of thee if not thee most underrated bands ever in our times "The Dream Academy", so superbly written , and i still listen daily for the past twenty-four years .! Pure Genius in disguise !

i tried sharin on facebook-it kindas bumps u 2 here-so,not sooo bad

[antonfjordson]

i think it would be fun to do a song with him sometime.

[anarchstar]

Hey! Just revisited Dream Academy... Via Clayhill's version of Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want. There I was digging around, and up popped your new stuff. Trashmonk! Okay not sure on teh name, but liking what I heard of the new music. Polygamy, for me, had a 'The The' feel about it. Organic in its use of loops and samples, growing and in parts festering. Nice! Keep it up, stay true to the music in your heart. Peace!

[simonjohnpalmer]

I, like you, did far too much stuff I shouldn't have done during those mad, but brilliant, acid house days. It turned me from indie onto dance music and, having just heard Trashmonk, I think you capture the two genres perfectly. I love the combination of your voice and the dark dance beat underneath. It's so different. I can't believe the some of the negative comments on here because I think it is quality. Hope I can still find your debut album on vinyl. And, tidy your flat up.....

[grovegreener]

someone please post "girl i used to know." it's brilliant.

[trashmonk3]

i'm so pleased you like it -

i love that record too.

alongside film & documentary music i'm writing songs & studying the piano .

just going to the studio everyday & making music.

there's a lifetime in there & so much still to learn...

[treobear]

Mona Lisa Overdrive is probably my favourite album...ever.

Bought because of it's William Gibson title it has surprised, delighted and charmed me for many years.

Thanks.

Carin

[trashmonk3]

it was nearly ten years ago.

i'm living somewhere else now,married & making movie soundtracks but i still love to see the old place !

n.l.c.

[midtownjohn]

I think you're still doing drugs Nick. Not impressed with Trashmonk.

[RitzyTrailer]

Nick, I think you've done enough acid now.. time to come back down, and put an end to this nonsense!

[Paavoi99]

Such a small cluttered apartment. I thought he

would have achieved more material success with Dream Academy, but he lives more like a trashmonk.

[Dogsville08]

Nick are you single?

hehe

Always fancied your music and your fine self

[eivissenka]

This makes me miss home.

[trashmonk3]

it's so great this finally turned up .

i thought it was lost forever in the great shakeup post creation's demise !

it really brings it back-

"what along strange trip it's been ,,,,,,,"

[bellug71]

Hello Nick,I would like make to doc film above your art

A.

Re: Shoes on the sofa.

Well, he IS Trashmonk! Nick, you rock!!!

[kintaman2]

lol!

[kintaman2]

Ok, now that I've seen the video. Sheesh Nick keep your shoes off the sofa...nasty! You do realize that you stand in public washrooms in pools of other people's urine. Then when you're nuzzling your face up in your sofa pillow you're essentially lying in that same pool or urine. Disgusting....take your shoes off when you come into your home.

[kintaman2]

Awesome! Dream Academy is my all time fav group. Go Nick!

[rico690918]

Definitely true, there hasn't been a better band as Dream Academy!
