Released: 2004

All of the tracks from Beaver Street & Beyond can be downloaded on iTunes.

Beaver Street & Beyond began at the legendary address in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. This album utilises Apell’s multi-instrumental talents to create diverse and unique electronic music from down tempo grooves to industrial tinged IDM and breakbeats.

The album ranges from the frenetic electronic jazz of Entertainment Complex to the heavy dub of Wrinkle to the drum n bass of Suit Up and more. Guest performers include John Dickens on guitar on the flamenco bagpipe groove of Exciting Soul Cock of the Stirring North to the sublime vocals of Rachael Hawkins on the smouldering Tommorow.

The album has been described as electronic music that would appeal to fans of “Massive Attack, Unkle, Groove Armada, Zappa, Radiohead, John Zorn and many others” - (Marc ‘the MEMORY Man’ Urselli-Schaerer)

Album Tracks

Entertainment Complex 2 part track with crazy fast breakbeats music first with edited drums ala DJ Shadow and a John Zorn inspired sax solo. Then it moves to a Groove Armada inspired dubstep / dub outro.	Digirap Industrial Electronic music remix of Digital Rape with more electronic beats and tighter breakbeats, a prominent distorted bass, synthesizers and an evil cat sounding slide guitar.
Tim & Tony Tim & Tony is a spaced out acoustic guitar extravaganza to chill out to. Get swamped in the wall of beautiful ringing chiming guitars. Fans of Tortoise & Mogwai will love this track.	Summer Chill out Electronica music produced in one very hot day. Lush acoustic guitars and saxophones over down tempo hip hop beats for fans of Groove Armada & Gotye.
Tomorrow Tomorrow features the sublime vocals of Rachael Hawkins over a multilayered Massive Attack inspired smouldering dub / dubstep groove featuring ambient guitars, flutes and strings with a deep bass line.	Suit Up Electronica uptempo breakbeats / IDM / drum n bass track with jazzy bass, guitar and percussion samples galore and duelling drums. The party track of the album.
Wrinkle Heavy distorted bass dub / dubstep music featuring a trumpet solo. Sounds like Asian Dub Foundation being stalked by Count Dracula! It made the final of the Youthweeks RockIT competition (2001).	Unorthodox Orthodox Russian Church choir music remixed in a very unorthodox way with dub / hip hop beats and bass. It features exquisite vocal harmonies.
Spokes Remix Industrial tinged breaks remix of the action music from the movie Spokes. The distorted guitars are actually acoustic guitars. Nine Inch Nails meets Squarepusher.	Underscore Experimental 12-tone atonal electronic music with a funky groove. This music sounds like Arnold Schoenberg getting down at a disco run by Frank Zappa.
Exciting Soul Cock of the Stirring North Bagpipe flamenco guitar music remix, Exciting Soul Cock of the Stirring North is the first example of the new sub-genre of syncopated Scottish flamenco.	Lust More reworked music from an unfinished film soundtrack with Grover J’s lustful themes. Probably the only track ever recorded featuring brass ashtray drumming in 5/4.
Crying Over A Cut Onion Radiohead inspired chill out track which was developed from music originally intended for a film soundtrack.
