Ian’s Blog 9th June 2024

I have uploaded my latest science fiction themed song onto Soundcloud. It is based upon a short story written By Francis Flagg called The Machine Man Of Ardathia which was published in Amazing Stories in the 1920s. It is about a time traveller from the future and it is a story that I particularly enjoyed reading. I can still recall when I read it at Torquay Boys Grammar school in the late 1970s when it was located in Barton Road. The song is on my Wonder Songs album which is due for release next month. My friend Jay is singing with me on the chorus and it was mixed and mastered by Lord Zarquon.


The machine man of Ardathia

From the future he appeared

The machine man of Ardathia

In this room he was here


A quite amazing story

And I tell you it wasn't a dream

I know you won't believe me

When I tell you what I have seen


The machine man of Ardathia

From the future he appeared

The machine man of Ardathia

In this room he was here


A blinding flash of light

Then the time traveller appeared

Inside a large cylinder

That was so crystal clear


Thirty thousand years from the future

From a tube leaped a purple ray

He told me not to be alarmed

And I tried not to be afraid


The machine man of Ardathia

From the future he appeared

The machine man of Ardathia

In this room he was here

In this room he was here
