ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Kelv (Real name Kelvin Cartwright) was an Alternative, Electronica, Art Rock Artist from Leicester, England and brother of Clive, the founder member of Leicester based band Scum Pups.
Kelv worked with various musicians in and around Leicester during the late 1970's and early 1980's to record and perform live, most notably as either bass player or on percussion.

By the summer of 1981, Kelv embarked on the ambitious project of releasing a solo album "Attacking Vessels", where he played all the instruments and produced a vocals style that was "acting" rather than "singing". The original concept was to make three (or even four) albums, using different music styles associated to each story. Each song was based on the concept of gossip given from the various characters portrayed on the record who saw themselves as objective observers, but were in fact part of it.

Production had to be strictly amateur and was done on a very tight budget. However, lack of funds caused the series to be abandoned.
Fortunately, "Attacking Vessels" stands well on it's own as a single album, in its own rite.
The music style was achieved by recording to a strict 'one song a day' approach, 'bedroom band style'. All mistakes created during the recordings were deliberately left in to help support the "live performance" feel.

Please read this about feedback DSR's: Although eBay's DSR feedback system is a 1 through 5 star rating, anything less than a 4.3 average is now apparently considered unacceptable. Sellers averaging less than 4.3 in all categories face the loss of any discounts and even a possible suspension of the seller's account. eBay tells buyers that leaving 4 out of 5 stars means that you are satisfied, however their message to sellers is that 4 out of 5 is a failing grade. I have also read that if no DSR's are left by the buyer the seller's rating also goes down. If you are satisfied I ask that you please consider leaving FIVE STARS when completing the DSR's. Anything less actually hurts the seller's rating with eBay significantly.
