BLAT - Piltdown Man - 1991

Piltdown Man had a somewhat different feel to it from the Christian bashing Godless. In spite of it's quirky nature and better production, most people preferred the previous release. Two tracks were sung by Phil. 

“ TV Eye” a highly bastardised version of the Stoooges classic and “Take me back to Arkansas” a strange lengthy song with an electronic country punk twang. 

“Art Skool” was recorded with Garry Bradbury, one time member of Severed Heads. 

“I Admit” was used as a backing track for a commercial for TV broadcaster SBS.  
“Eastern Push’ aka “Jihad” was perhaps the most technically advanced track on the cassette and went on to win the contemporary music section of the Australasian Academy of Broadcast Arts and Sciences (Pater awards). 

“Stay With Me” started off life as a cover of Ted Nugent’s Snakeskin Cowboys but eventually mutated into something more bizarre when mated with  Anne Maree’s words and vocals.

Cannibals of Style

Before BLAT there were, Cannibals of Style

From 1986 to 1990 Phil collaborated separately with Scot Mcphee and John Prendergast. The gradual acquisition of recording equipment, synthesizers, samplers and sequencers began a shift towards a more structured, less improvised sound. A vinyl single was made with Scot in 1988 as Cannibals of Style. A side “Loaded Gun” featuring Jeff Duff on vocals. The B side, an instrumental piece called “Rediffusion”. Scot & Phil also performed on occasion at The Gunnery. Musically, this collaboration was best described as quirky synth pop although Scot was leaning heavily towards electronic dance and techno.
