Have a look through his back catalogue, download and sing along or just let your spirit soar. Once you’ve done that, why not browse the extensive catalogue of deleted releases put out by Davey’s infamous record company, DNRC.
ISLANDS IN THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS
DNRC012 | LP | 2002 | DELETED
Davey’s debut album is brimming with melody, technological sophistication, 120bpm drum beats, amazingly uplifting guitar solos and lyrics to kill for. Put simply, this album is the wasabi on the toast, the ice on the slope, a gem, a taster from one of the most obscure, erratic and quite probably brilliant minds of an entire generation.

INTAKE
DNRC013 | EP | 2003 | DELETED
A limited edition four track EP, available only in Japan. Lead track ‘Departure(s)’ is the only Davey Dreamnation song to feature a tennis pun in its lyrics and was at the time Davey’s strongest statement of intent to date. Aiming to emulate his own pop heroes, Davey also preached the profound goodness of airport departure lounge iconography, offering a series of observations towards a new architectural school, to be known as shedism. ‘Nicotine Angst’ was written on the back of a mongrammed hankie, found later in a remote outback truck stop, and used as evidence in the trial of Ronnie Milsap. ‘Sonic You” was a tribute to Daniel Johns, of silverchair, and his fight against illness. A barely-listenable out-take, ‘Transmissions End’, rounded out the EP.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING
DNRC034 | LP | 2004 | DELETED
A resurrection of Davey�s fortunes failed to coincide with the release of this, his incendiary though widely ignored sophomore album, due probably to his decision not to release every track as a single in its own right, a tactic which made the world sit up and croak when he released Islands In the Stream of Consciousness. But enough about historical masterpieces. This album could rightly be considered Davey’s difficult third album were it not for the fact that he only ever released two.

TRIBESCO
DNRC053 | EP | 2005 | DELETED
Davey Dreamnation, rumoured to have left the music industry, struck back at his critics by releasing a swansong EP on his own DNRC label in 2005, on which he waxed lyrical about his new home, that little-known suburb of Melbourne known as Tribesco. The EP also features a love song from the depths of the Goulburn River, near Camp Davey and a haunting and melodious tribute to one of Davey’s closest friends, the Kiwi Sting impersonator known as Stung.

SALUTON!
DNRC066 | LP | 2008 | DELETED
Astonishing Tribesco-only import, re-packaging Dreamnation’s original Islands In the Stream of Consciousness LP with one or two surprises - the first being opening track “Theme Song”, a previously-unreleased call to arms. In addition, an extended version of the presumed-drowned “Scaramouche’s Theme” sees Davey teaming with his llama pal to create a meteoric sensation in the ears of the listener - making this disc an essential part of any self-respecting Davey Dreamnation collection. Finally, an unbelieavly-rare recording of “Trailer”, a diatribe against Hollywood deemed unreleasable when first recorded in 2002. In between, the best bits off Davey’s debut. An attractive white packaging gives consumers one more reason to buy this testament to the fight against moroseness in pop. Or, at least, that’s what one might have said, had this bootleg, just like all the others, not been deleted just as it appeared on the scene, sadly.

THEMES
DNRC075 | EP | 2010 | DELETED
Davey Dreamnation recently stunned the music industry by recording an EP’s worth of theme songs entitled, appropriately enough, Themes. Breaking with tradition, Davey has again released this EP on his own record label, prompting further speculation that he has, at last, completely lost his marbles. Available here for a limited time only.

BUT SERIOUSLY …
DNRC088 | 2xLP | 2018 | DELETED
This stunning Qatar-only import sees Davey at his relaxed best, during an unplugged concert he put on during a trip to his Davium facility somewhere in the uncharted depths of Saudi Arabia’s Empty Quarter. Showcasing Dreamnation’s legendary between-song banter, the set-list includes some of his best-known hits, including an incendiary (or should we say, ‘extraordinary’) rendition of “Guns of Davey”, a breathtakingly haunting “Nicotine Angst” and, of course, a spirited version of “Scaramouche’s Theme”.

THAT’S BUDDHA
DNRC090 | Mini-LP | 2020 | DELETED
In 2010 Davey Dreamnation stunned the music industry by releasing an EP’s worth of theme songs entitled, appropriately enough, Themes. Breaking with tradition, one decade later Davey released a mini-LP on his own record label, prompting further speculation that he had, at least, completely lost his bonkers. What we get on this hastily-cobbled together “album” is not exactly what its title says we should get. To begin with, the title track “That’s Buddha” has been mysteriously deleted and replaced by “Buddha Machine Four”, an exercise in layering using the Buddha Machine. Instead of a straight rendition of “Harbour You” we get a remix and an instrumental of the same track. And instead of Clint Bo Dean on guest lagaphone we get the half-rap, half-too-cool-to-care “Clint Bo Dean Is Really Cool”. In addition, the maniacal sether has also seen fit to include three other tracks on this release, namely the truly barmy “Snelheid” featuring Chris de Burgh on mute, “Inflated Lanes” (a tribute to 1980s ten-pin bowling TV advertisements) and “Just Riffin”, which could be about anything. Mp3 tracks available here for a limited time only. The album itself is technically deleted but, as it hasn’t been thought of yet, we’ll make an exception and mark it, simply, “released back into the wild”.
