Welcome to Blood 'n' Tongue on Sound Cloud!
Check out the latest and strangest music selections from our extensive archive of over 1000 titles produced since 1981. All materials offered here are available for licensing to labels or producers looking for original music for film and TV.
For the past 30 years, in its various manifestations, Blood 'n' Tongue has been seeking to explore a variety of musical and sonic avenues. This has involved crossing and mixing genres with as much disregard for convention and tradition as possible. For some, this may present problems since the material here simply doesn't fit neatly into any one category. Some may come here because they liked some catchy little dance number posted in a group and then find all sorts of atonal weirdness or, gasp, "country" influenced acoustic music sitting next to an extended "dub" mix. Don't look for easy answers. There are none. Just try to open yourself up to the possibilities afforded when one throws aside "style" straight jackets and just has fun with sound and music, whatever it's form.
This is groovy, Reverend Funk!
@Stiefel Manifold: Well, thanks for letting me know what it's aboot.
I'm confused. A = what? I'm never going to get this. :/
A fun set! I was boppin for a while there. ;)
@Stiefel Manifold: Me too! My engines are caught in a feedback loop and I'm being drawn into the space anus!
@Stiefel Manifold: Good idea. I hear they're very fattening.
Very lovely. It's a sunny Friday morning while I listen and this is working just fine.
@WAX 16: Thanks!
Full of fibre! Yum!
@Zoohead: Thee punks of Mars say "thanks"!

Once, long ago, Mars was the jewel of the solar system. Great rivers and oceans flowed on its surface and the land was green and full of life. But this state would not last for long and the Martian world would fade into dust and desert while the glory of being a living world would pass to the Earth. The Martians slowly retreated underground as the surface became uninhabitable and, as they sank, they swore that one day they would rise again and claim their rightful place in the cosmos. They would no longer be second to the Earthlings. Now is that time. Mars first! Destroy the Earth!
What strange devices are involved in this little nugget? Sounds cool!
@Zoohead: Glad you enjoyed! I've become rather enamoured of the violin since I got a the new one in Sept. I think I'm going to marry it as soon as it's legal. ;)
@Donald Gisbey: Thanks!

@M.a.D: I'm still partial to pulling out my old Traxx records. Nothing else quite like it.
@hasselhoff: Wear something warm!
@Other.Brother: Glad you're enjoying!
@Other.Brother: Thanks!
Dronerific!
A rather wonderful bit of sonic madness!
@Passionfingers: These are the risks we take to bring quality holiday music to the family.
@Simpsonill: Pass the whiskey!
I think this is one of your best instrumental pieces. Very dreamy and great production.
@Brutha Flo: Sorry about that. ;)
@Brutha Flo: I've had a few mornings like that.
@dubpsyfy: Fab! I hope we'll be hearing much more!
@VriesVeld: Thanks!
Nice! Is this a new, original piece?
@Collecting Pool: Thanks! We had a lot of fun jamming on this one.
Music for BIG feet! The organ kicks serious assitude.
@Torpor: You know it. :)
This sounds like a little wildflower in a big field. Very pretty and fragile.
BTW, I love the genre, "unlistenable". I want to see a section for this in every record store.
I'm digging the retro sci-fi sound from the Monotribe. Mars needs women!
@hasselhoff: You'd make a terrible Moyle. Oy!
Just what I needed to find in my inbox this morning. Great way to start my day!
Slinky! :)
Nice travelling music. :)
