Peter Zabriskie aka DeepFrequency Steve's premise to turn ugliness on it's head and see instead beauty. The same challenge we have today.

John C Arthur I think Steve had just put this album out when I first heard him. I always enjoyed hearing 'Shizzle' live and its a nice word to say. The man oozes talent. Favorite track: Shizzle.

about

an album inspired by the 2004 European Elections. Almost called 'Kilroy-Silk's a Bastard', but instead of focussing on the insanity of UKIP, I took their major problem, as I saw it - that being ingratitude for what they had - and turned it back on myself. So did a thematic album (don't say the 'c-word'... concept) about all the things I was grateful for.

The unifying theme of all of them, was that I didn't deserve any of them... hence the 'Grace' bit.

Enjoy.

Track Name: Grace And Gratitude: The title track is a meditation on the two concepts central to the album. I think Grace and Gratitude go hand in hand. Grace being unmerited favour - if you didn't earn it, you have to be grateful for it, right?

I'm the recipient of Grace on a daily basis, and I try to give as good as I get. Passing on the kindnesses done to me. Infectious goodness.

Sometimes the hardest element of Grace is accepting it - we want to 'pay our debts', but if someone gives us something, we're lost for how to do that. Learning to accept it and pay it forward can help change the world.
