The Event Horizon (part 1) The Event Horizon (part 1)
Some people believe that the Earth is flat... Some people even believe that the Earth is cube shaped... (because, they say)..." a flat world is just stupid! " Well, I agree with the science...it's a sphere...
September Gurls (Instrumental option) September Gurls (Instrumental option)
An instrumental cover of a great song by the criminally overlooked band... 'Big Star'. I'm unable to sing this song (my vocal range isn't up to it). So, I'll leave it as an instrumental for now. Recorded on a Zoom R-24 recorder
The Reverse Rainbow Experiment The Reverse Rainbow Experiment
This is my 1st recording using my Zoom R-24 Audio Workstation. Unfortunately my old DAW ...Adobe Audition (1.5) won't record any longer...but it still works as an editing tool for the Wav. files imported to it from the Zoom R-24 unit.
When Accident Became My Bride When Accident Became My Bride
This is my own recorded 'interpretation'/cover, of an absolute classic by Bill Nelson. Basically it's quite close to Bill's original, but I've taken some liberties with the arrangement.
Broken Land (instrumental version) Broken Land (instrumental version)
This is my instrumental version of a great Pop song from 1988 by The Adventures... (a band from Belfast, Northern Ireland). Please check out the original vocal version... It's great.
Surrender To The Warlord Of Venus (Mekon's Theme) Surrender To The Warlord Of Venus (Mekon's Theme)
A bit of Sci-Fi inspired silliness..."just surrender and do whatever they say... or please hurry up, as we've only got 7 seconds to save the known universe" :-)
Lupus Lupus
This is an original song by Silent Network. Martin Warhurst - keyboards, programming and bass...Jackie Lister - vocals/lyrics...David Briggs - guitars.

It's Only Money It's Only Money
This is my own recording of a song that we played when I was in a band called, Dolce Vita. (1980-1983) It re-creats the excitement of the tune when we played it live...many times.
Transistor Radio Memories (pt 1) Transistor Radio Memories (pt 1)
A musical collage of my own recordings plus lots of interesting (royalty free) samples... relating to, and from 'pirate radio' stations in the UK (pre-1967)
Boyhood Shadows Boyhood Shadows
This is my version (quite close to the original) of a beautifully melodic instrumental by Bill Nelson. I used my Yamaha Revstar 420 for all the guitar parts, my Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitar, an old Yamaha PSR-275 keyboard for the organ and strings.
Keep On Running (instrumental version) Keep On Running (instrumental version)
Another Spencer Davis Group 'hit' from the mid 1960s. The time just prior to vocalist / instrumentalist Stevie Windwood leaving to form Traffic...who had Pop/Rock 'hits' of their own during the so called, Psychedelic years..
Somebody Help Me (instrumental variation) Somebody Help Me (instrumental variation)
An instrumental version of a song that I remember well from my teenage years. The Spencer Davis Group had quite a few hit records in the mid 1960s
The Stone Lanes Of Gormenghast The Stone Lanes Of Gormenghast
Steerpike is lost in the labyrintine Stone Lanes of Gormenghast castle where danger hides in every shadow.
The House on Haunted Hill The House on Haunted Hill
A suitably scary piece for the Clicker's Club Halloween player. This is... 'one that I prepared earlier'. In fact it was recorded way back in 2010!...many thanks to the master of fright...Vincent price for the ghoulish voice. wow those screams ha h
Love Is Strange (Highlife version) 2018 Love Is Strange (Highlife version) 2018
Not sure how to categorize this instrumental. After recording my instrumental version of Love Hurts...this seemed a nice one to follow-up with. The Kenyan Highlife feel of it was accidental.
Love Hurts (instrumental 2018) Love Hurts (instrumental 2018)
My instrumental take on the classic Everly Brothers hit. I've given it a Major Snagg musical face-lift. Lots of nice guitar.
Upwardly Mobile (2018 version #1) Upwardly Mobile (2018 version #1)
This is a tune from the early 1980s! I guy I worked with wrote this tune. He lent me a cassette at the time so that I could learn it...with the intention of being in a band together. The cassette's long gone but I still (mostly) remember the tune..
Over The Next Hill, The Sparkling Sea Over The Next Hill, The Sparkling Sea
A brand new instrumental (4th.September 2018) It came quite quickly and easily, straight out of my own imagination. A happy, optimistic end of Summer tune. As the title suggests, something great is just over the next hill.
