Magic Moments At Twilight Time He's still a very keen grower, guy never stops working.
Inga Leru-Kelly I caught that bug a bit too
Magic Moments At Twilight Time I suppose musically, this would have been quite a diversion from what you'd done before. I was pretty sure you'd do a great job (and I was right), what were your thoughts on it when you first heard it?
Inga Leru-Kelly Yeah really different but great songs - some great guitar too - totally cosmic project and I wanted to get involved
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Of course, we really dragged you in the deep end with "Demonic Attack". I'm guessing you wouldn't have got to sing with an operatic baritone before? Let's have a listen to your... er... 'interesting performance' on this one...

Magic Moments At Twilight Time And here you are in the Brain Dead Studio during the sessions...

Inga Leru-Kelly I notice I was wearing my Sylvian Fripp t shirt in the studio picture!
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Hey, we want to talk about your 'interesting performance' on "Demonic Attack"! ;)
Inga Leru-Kelly No that voice was superb - I totally love this track - everyone I know was very very surprised at this shy retiring girl! There were a few raised eyebrows - I can safely say that is the only time I have ever been asked to do that in a studio
Inga Leru-Kelly I thought I might get some calls for some specialist film overdubs but sadly not
Magic Moments At Twilight Time I still get asked questions about that impressive faked orgasm! I think it even beats Donna Summer on "Love To Love You Baby"! Honestly, did your boyfriends ever trust you again?
Inga Leru-Kelly It was so embarassing at the time really but so much fun and it makes me smile now when I play it to people
Magic Moments At Twilight Time One can only apologise for asking such a thing of you. Hey, you're talking to the man who made his ex wife sing "Get Into The Dream Cream"! I have no shame! ;) Now, I would like to touch on the unused track you did for us as well, are you okay with me playing that?
Inga Leru-Kelly Yeah its a good one!
Inga Leru-Kelly You are a very bad man Mr Magic haha
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Sshhh! Nobody else has noticed yet! ;)
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Great, let's get it going (coz that clock isn't half ticking), then I'll come straight back with a question. This is "Storm"...

Inga Leru-Kelly I love this track its got a great groove for dancin'
Magic Moments At Twilight Time I must admit, this version has grown on me quite a lot, but at the time we just didn't think it worked. I had the idea of a bright lively 70's disco style thing juxtaposed with a very dark and melancholy voice, which you delivered beautifully. But in the end, it lost out to Leonie's "The Starship Psychotron" version. I will come back to this one though, it's too good to languish unheard. Your thoughts?
Inga Leru-Kelly Yeah definitely release it with a cosmic video
Inga Leru-Kelly Lets get some spangly outfits and hire an old school disco floor
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Bring back flares!
Magic Moments At Twilight Time I think the music needs darkening up too, that was the problem, I don't think the juxtaposition worked. Your vocal was beautiful, music worked brilliantly with Lulu's lighter vocal. That music needed a lighter vocal, or darkening up to go with yours, the latter is my next plan for "In Search Of Albert", you heard it here first!
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Which, I guess brings us up to date with this lot... tell us something about Kilter?

Inga Leru-Kelly Yeah sounds good get some low synth sounds and a fuzz guitar
Magic Moments At Twilight Time That's what I was thinking! But Kilter, we need to move on, time is nearly gone and I know you have stuff to do and I want to play some Kilter. Hey, I'll put a track on, you tell me about the band and what you're up to.

Magic Moments At Twilight Time This is "Solar", a 1998 CD single on the Shifty Disco label...

Inga Leru-Kelly Yeah I joined Kilter in 97 ish I think they had just finished being Somersalt who were amazing and they asked me to audition at Surrey Uni in an auditorium - I was so nervous
Inga Leru-Kelly Barney asked what my lyrics were about I told him nothing really! Which was a total lie all my lyrics are about my inner most feelings - don't ask!!
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Mine too, I get that entirely! I guess this is more recent? Still going strong, I gather?

Inga Leru-Kelly Solar was one of the first songs we wrote its a fast pop punky blast nicely distorted by Wolesy White - it was released by Shifty Disco as double AA side with Call the Day it got some airplay with Peel and Steve Lamacq
Magic Moments At Twilight Time So what does the future hold for the voice of Inga Leru-Kelly?
Inga Leru-Kelly Yeah we are just about to go into the studio early Oct to record our new ep we have a gig with the Dead Naked Hippies at the West end Centre Aldershot on 28th Sept and a gig on the 14th Dec in Guildford
Inga Leru-Kelly I am also looking to start another project not sure how it will sound but I'll know when I hear it - do love a collaboration too so if anyone is interested get in touch
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Pleased to hear it's all going for you, may I take this opportunity to wish you every success and happiness with whatever you may try. I'm going to play out with a nice piece of Kilter on video, this is "I Am The One". Inga, thank you so much for talking to us, been a real pleasure.

Inga Leru-Kelly Its been great talking to to you - thanks have a good one x
