Free track and artwork.........
Shortly after Rik died his close friend Matt Higgins wrote the song "Safe Plans" for his band Fiction and the Fear - it was clearly inspired by Rik and became the opening track for the Memorial disc of "residual hum", the connection was too strong for it to be placed anywhere else.
There were plans to release the song as a single, it never happened for various reasons, so we thought it would be nice to make it freely available now to whoever would like it.
Riks close friend from school, 6th form and University - James Wignall - produced a beautiful piece of serene artwork which complements the song perfectly.
If anyone would like a high quality mp3 of the song together with a copy of the artwork, please send an email with FREE SNH SONG in the title to john@stuntedrecords.co.uk and we will send the song and artwork back to you via email

The album is now available at Crash Records on the Headrow in Leeds, this is the only stockist in Leeds. Rik used to work at Crash and is fondly remembered by the staff there so it was the only option to consider, if you feel inclined please pop in and show some support for an independant record shop while such a thing still exists.

We've not done too much with this CD so far publicity wise, we'd prefer it to develop organically by word of mouth, but just so any watchers are aware, it is available to download from all the usual suspects ( itunes / amazon mp3 / emusic etc ) and physical copies can be ordered through any record shop or via web retailers such as amazon / play / hmv etc. Of course it's much cheaper and possibly easier to order direct from ourselves here .............

Launch day for the SomewhereNotHere website ! The cd is at the pressing plant ( release date yet to be confirmed ) and it's time to reveal the amazing artwork that Riks friend Kristian Jennings has produced for the project. The landscape image above contains a certain synchronicity ( Rik smiles here ! ) as it seems to define Riks journey through life, viewed from right to left it moves from early peace and wonder to inner turmoil, followed by an explosion of energy culminating in a peaceful return to nature.
