One for both @GandGBallatis & @NEUboots23 - reveals what would’ve been Marx’s address (in the Cowgate) had he visited #Dundee (in 1856) on his way to catch the fateful train from the #TayBridgeDisaster 20 years later.* All of which was enough to merit a plaque in #VirtualDundee.

The #PortableSongs EP tracks (3): the third piece was written on a home organ and, I think, is a tad more “fluid” in movement (even with sequencing) as a result. Lyrics inspired by the tale of the #TayBridgeDisaster though aren’t just about this. #lofi #synthfam
