Do Not Listen (2007)

The original limited edition run of the Tim Halbert album Do Not Listen is now sold out, but you can still download individual tracks or the entire album from iTunes and all leading online music retailers.

An hour-long eclectic mix of electro-cheese and heart-stopping ambience, from the robotic double-act prelude of Saving It Up and Automaton to the atmospheric meanderings of Nothingacre and Excremental Intermission; from the embarassing Chinese synth-pop overtones of Underground Beijing to the infectious jazz seeping from the pores of Only the Green Pen Works, Do Not Listen is sure to take you on an undeniably unique musical journey. Whichever stop you choose to get off at, however, is entirely up to you...

The album includes full-length versions of many popular tunes from the Tim Halbert website, as well as the eagerly-anticipated soundtrack to Flash hit Stick Avalanche 2.

Where can I download the sheet music for Excremental Intermission?

We've had several requests for this. It's best played by three hands (essentially: two fairly intermediate pianists). Here it is as a 111KB BMP (Zipped) and here it is as a 68KB PDF (thanks to Lolo for the latter copy).
