Cloud City Re-visited Cloud City Re-visited
This started as a drum and synth bass loop to improvise over. I did, and it became something quite interesting. I added an arpeggio treated synth part, a 1970s styled Hammond organ and it took off for the future and beyond.
Home's Where The Heart Is Home's Where The Heart Is
A 'Brit-Pop' ? styled song. Lots of jangly guitars and a driving bass-line. Vocals and harmonies, and hopefully, catchy guitar riffs and solos
Public Enemy Number 1 (Al Capone) Public Enemy Number 1 (Al Capone)
This is another of my 'Mind Movie' recordings. I've used royalty free samples of the actual voice of Al Capone. Well, as he said, "I was only giving the people what they wanted"! well, and perhaps a few things that they didn't want too Al...
Where Have You Been All My Life (Merseybeat Style) Where Have You Been All My Life (Merseybeat Style)
I recently heard a version of this song by Arthur Alexander on Lisa Tarbuck's Saturday night radio show on BBC Radio 2. It's a song that most of the 'Merseybeat' bands played at the time...including The Beatles. This is my tribute to them all.
The Taste Of Your Tears The Taste Of Your Tears
I heard this played on the radio recently and it reminded me of what a great hit single it was back in 1985. It brought back good memories. All the young girls in the office thought that Paul King was a real 'Dreamboat'. A perfect Pop single.
If Its Really Got To Be This Way If Its Really Got To Be This Way
I'm not sure what 'genre' this should be in...Pop/Soul/Rhythm & Blues. Well, whatever! this is another great song by Arthur Alexander from later in his career I think.

I Own London Town (Jesus Oldman & David Briggs) I Own London Town (Jesus Oldman & David Briggs)
The, 'Lost song', from the London Aftershock (volume 1) album of 2024. Jesus Oldman wrote the brilliant music and lyrics for this song with the intention of it being included on my album. I somehow got distracted and it stupidly got missed off.
Farewell (Mr. Smith) ... instrumental Farewell (Mr. Smith) ... instrumental
I came across this instrumental by chance once when I was looking for a surf style tune to play along to. I liked it so much that I just had to record it myself. It's a pretty accurate recreation of the original which is by Martin Cilia.

The Flower King The Flower King
This is my own interpretation/cover of a great song by Swedish 'Prog Master', Roine Stolt. I've had to slightly change the middle (instrumental) section due to the original's amazing complexity. Afterall, I'm not Roine Stolt!...
