Bringing Home The Ashes Bringing Home The Ashes
This is my second cover of a song by Wild Swans; As you may know, I'm a big fan of, 'Brit-Pop', music of the 1980s. Lots of very inventive new bands came onto the scene.
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
Under The Volcano (2025 version) Under The Volcano (2025 version)
This is a new, simpler, and 'stripped-down', version of this song. There is an earlier version that is much more, 'elaborate' in its arrangement. On the earlier version, Jesus Oldman added drums, trumpets and lively Cantina noises etc..
No One Can No One Can
A cover of a great song by Marillion. This is from their album, Holidays In Eden (1991). Their original vocalist, Fish (Derek Dick) had already left the band by this stage and this album features vocals by Steve Hogarth, the band's 'new', vocalist.
Heating Up The World ( In The Atomic Age ) Heating Up The World ( In The Atomic Age )
This is the kind of thing that I used to create a lot more of at one time. Once again, experiments with the Yamaha PSR-E373 keyboard delivered inspiration via some bubbling Synth sounds. Those led me to the correct 'rabbit-hole', to dive down ...
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.
Atomic City Atomic City
A Space themed piece for the Clicker's club Challenge September 2020
Museum Exhibit 2080 #1 Museum Exhibit 2080 #1
A future where robots do absolutely everything for the remaining humans. Science fiction? Diary entry...March 6th. 2080..."As a child I remember being taken to a museum to see a tree.There were very few living examples out in the world..."
Radio Arcadio...Closing Down... Radio Arcadio...Closing Down...
Radio Arcadio...Closing down...but the MUSIC lives on. This is what happened to our favourite radio stations when the government implimented their Marine Offences Act on the stroke of midnight August 14th. 1967.
Rainy Day Beat Poem #1 (just booze and madness) Rainy Day Beat Poem #1 (just booze and madness)
An experimental piece with added voice samples. I've used the voice of a well known 'Beat Poet' in what I hope is a sympathetic and interesting musical backdrop.
The Experimentarium Of Albertropolis - Overture The Experimentarium Of Albertropolis - Overture
This is the instrumental 'Overture' of the next instalment of my Albertropolis multi-media / Steamwave / fantasy story project. Some musical themes and sounds from earlier stories make a welcome return.
The Machine Never Stops The Machine Never Stops
A hard edged Post Punk Sci-fi kind of thing. Play it loud...
The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists
Voice samples from, The Ragged Trousered Philantropists; which was a BBC radio-play, set within a 'hard-edged, Post Punk' music soundtrack of my own creation. The Ragged Trousered Philantropists is the only book by Robert Tressell.
Close Your Eyes (2025) Close Your Eyes (2025)
A new recording of a song we played a lot, when I was in a band called, Dolce Vita (in the early 1980s). Power Pop/ Indie Rock
I'm Watching You (2022 edit) I'm Watching You (2022 edit)
A great song from my Silent Network days.
Lost In Silence Lost In Silence
I've tried to recreate some of the sounds from the original version from way back. This version is much more of a guitar driven thing. Obviously the Silent Network version features Martin's keyboard lines and Jackie's fabulous vocals
Overload Overload
This is a song by the original line-up of the UK 'Girl Group' Sugarbabes. I heard this when it was released in 2000 and have to admit that I was pretty amazed at what I was hearing.
I was looking for I was looking for
A fast and furious Pop/Rock song from my Dolce Vita years . . . all guitars blazing. Some nice treated slide guitar in the middle 8 and also a flashy blues/rock guitar solo ! ha ha.
I Used To Be The One (who loved you) 2025 I Used To Be The One (who loved you) 2025
This is a pretty accurate 're-construction' of a song that we played in a band called, Dolce Vita... early 1980s. I've gone a lot further than the, 'live' with only 4 musicians', version that we played back then.
Waiting for A Sign Life (A Strange Situation) Waiting for A Sign Life (A Strange Situation)
An old song from 1981 brought back to life via the new technology that we all have access to in 2025.
