This is Called Fantasy
Cat's debut album after getting signed with his band 'Mantra 2'.
This highly regarded and critically acclaimed album has now become VERY collectible. Originally released in 2004. It features his first collaboration with legendary Adam and The Ants lead guitarist Marco Pirroni. (However there is a LOT more to this album than a namedrop.) *THIS ALBUM NOW ONLY AVAILABLE ON CD AS OF 2022*
Werewolves Of London
The 2006 follow up album, also under the band name 'Mantra 2'. Several outstanding tracks on this. Some songs that Cat had written many years earlier and re-worked. Including the stunning 'Confusion' on which former Adam and The Ants drummer Terry Lee Miall REALLY kicks out some beats.
Legacy
Cat took a hiatus from recording the second album aside from an EP released in 2008. He performed in Spain many times, and enjoyed his second love, sailing.
In 2014 he came back with a BANG on his first official solo release, Legacy.
The album features a FABULOUS take on Sid Vicious' take on 'My Way', and of course, as standard by now, some Ants. ;-)
Cat Mantra and The Raven
In 2015 the EP 'Cat Mantra and The Raven' landed.
A collaboration with Cat's good friend and colleague Dan Raven.
It also marked Cat's FIRST work with the legandary Dave Barbarossa of Adam and The Ants, Bow Wow Wow, and Republica fame. (On the track 'See if You're Alive'.)
Quite possibly one of the greatest drummers ever to grace Planet Earth.
Hell Howse
Cat released this purely for fun in 2017 with Snagster, Cj Mantra, and Dan Raven.
It's the track that NEARLY got him signed when he was just 20 years old. The very house music styled: 'Hell Howse'.
To create this version Cat actually sampled his original creation off CASSETTE, managed to gather the 'loops' he needed and added NEW vox. Also some amazing guitar work from Snagster added to the mix.
That Swing Thing
Cat Mantra isn't just your archetypal Post-Punkster.
He also has a great respect and admiration for swing music legends such as Sinatra and Deano.Â
Hence the release of THIS album in 2017.
The track 'Fly Me to The Moon' on this is Cat's most streamed track to date!
There's a Bullet
Released in November 2018, 'There's a Bullet' has already become Cat's most successful album to date. He himself even before release considered it his 'Zenith' AND finale to his work with his childhod heroes, The Ants.
As this is written nearly a year on, the album continues to be streamed in huge numbers, physical sales through the roof also. (Vinyl, CD, and... Cassette!)
Some powerful remasters, and four NEW tracks with Mr Dave Barbarossa included.
