The album Flaming Tunes was recorded in collaboration with Mary Currie after Gareth Williams left This Heat in the early 1980's and returned from the first of several trips to India.

It was misleadingly described as "This Heat’s final demo recordings" which was a great cause of annoyance to Gareth.

He considered the Tunes album a deliberate attempt to create a music with a different mood and texture to the often harsh and uncompromising This Heat recordings, whilst giving full reign to his eclectic tastes and distinctive musical stylings.
It was reissued in summer 2009 on CD. Find out more here.
