A rather large (18Mb) wma file of Beyond the Sea (which has a more realistic rendition of orchestral instruments, and a better synthesised voice) is available; and there is an even larger (25Mb) wma file of an instrumental rock version of Beyond the Sea also available here. The rock version was recorded, with a synthesised flute representing the vocal part, rather roughly and rapidly, by Deadman Turner on the evening of 23 January, 2006, to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Peacock.
A version of A Glee by Peacock is now available. It was composed and recorded on 23 January, 2007.
More music will be added later.
