Hey Coffee Crew,
We're revisiting one of my personal favourites for this month's Vault Rewind. A rarity amongst the BMC exclusives as it remains the only unreleased song in the series so far that actually made it into the rehearsal room!
Be sure to read more about that in the accompanying booklet, let's dive in ...
Vault Rewind #3 - Winged Heels
Hey gang,
Thank you for your patience in waiting for this month's exclusive track, which is slipping into our January window at the eleventh hour.
I think I've picked a good'un and hope you feel that your forbearance has been justly rewarded!

This has always been one of my favourite "songs that never were" or, in this case, a song that almost was, as you will read in the accompanying booklet.
You will likely be unsurprised to learn that I have always had a love affair with Greek mythology. Tales of Hercules, Perseus and the vast pantheon of ancient Gods captured my imagination when I was very young and references to those stories inevitably creep into my lyrics. "Winged Heels" could well be the most obvious example of this, with some very direct allusions to Hermes, the Messenger of Gods.
It's been a lot of fun revisiting this one - the guitar solo is amongst the favourite "demo solos" that I've ever recorded. There are a couple of surprising moments too which are some of my personal highlights, but I shan't spoil those for you!
So what do you think about this month's exclusive track? Should it have made the final cut for "INVICTA" (or indeed "OMNINO" as it might have been known)?
