The Music Projects
Coming Back Again
This compilation album is the result of many hours in the studio in 2001 and 2003 for a project to produce the songs used in the series of "Music Language" tutorials in which Lyle's songs are used as examples and exercises.
During that time it was envisioned that they would develop into the 'albums' listed here on the site. However a lack of funds has held up all these projects to date, and so there is this situation where alot of recording had been done without a finished project.
With the advent of our joining the great business opportunity at Music Forte with it's unique outlet for products it has been decided to put together an album of the best of what has recorded. With a few days in the studio to finish recording, mixing and mastering of the album it will be ready.
As many of these songs may yet feature on some upcoming albums, and others have featured on some past, the title 'Coming Back Again' seemed appropriate.
In the true tradition of some pretty weird "Best Of .." Albums we are almost tempted to call this a 'Best Of … " album, even though we have never had a real release yet alone a top 10 hit. Hmm!!
The bonus tracks are two instrumental versions of tracks from the Instrumental album "Pioneer".

The story behind the song:-
Coming Back Again
"One of the oldest songs on my 'list', this song goes way back to 1976 and a job working in the lead smelters of Port Pirie, South Australia. My mate Karl was explining to me the 'things' he was looking at in the flames of the furnace "I see soft figures in the flames", and no, were NOT on drugs, and it grew from there. It was written as a soft ballad for a girl I was keen to see again in Adelaide.
However one winters night about 5 years later some friends and I were stranded in the very cold town of Putty on the Colo Heights, north-west of Sydney, at about 1 am in the morning because of a car breakdown. The guitar was brought out to try and liven up the cold, dead night and this song was treated with a bit of a frosty 'attitude'. Another verse was added, impromptu, about my recent stay in the city, and it has been played like that ever since. Cheers to Karl, Gary and Rebecca wherever you all are now." - LAS
