(antiMusic) Are you ready to rock? Then rock legend Billy Morrison might just have the album you've been waiting for. Billy really doesn't need an introduction to rock fans, The Cult, Circus Diablo and Camp Freddy are just some of the bands he's been a part of. And then you have Stimulator, a band that Billy formed with Terry Warville and Jason Bowld from Pitchshifter back in 1998. Now a decade later Billy is allowing fans to hear what they've been missing with the release of Stimulator.

When we heard about this album finally being released, we fired off an email to ask Billy to give us the lowdown on some of his favorite tracks. A few hours later he came through in a big way. So here is Billy to discuss his favorite tracks from Stimulator!

SWANDIVE: This one started at The Astoria in London, when I saw Chino from The Deftones do a backwards dive into the audience.....from the top of the PA stack!! That is a major move to pull off! So, inspired, I started writing and the track gradually turned into how I might have felt, falling from a tall building, with my life flashing before my eyes and what might go through my head just before I hit the ground. Its a great song, and a real fantasy trip from my point of view - obviously I have not ACTUALLY jumped off a building....but have thought about it many times.

The CD is out now digitally on iTunes and limited edition hard copy CD is available exclusively from - www.billymorrison.net
