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.
Lady Youre A Strange Girl (E-Bow solo) Lady Youre A Strange Girl (E-Bow solo)
An edited 'out-take'...my 'e-bow' solo, over a sparsely arranged song by Bill Nelson. My all time favourite e-bow solo that I somehow managed to conjour up out of knowhere on the first take ...yes, it's me and not Bill playing the solo.
Does Your Mother Know Does Your Mother Know
This is one of my favourite 'up-tempo rockers', by the wizards of Swedish Pop...ABBA. Come on... I like Prog Rock but everybody must have a favourite ABBA song! This, and 'Ring, Ring', are great songs for a guitar band to interpret.
Express Train On The Branchline (part 1 and 2) Express Train On The Branchline (part 1 and 2)
An instrumental with Prog/ Rock flavourings...Hammond organ, Mellotron, Flute, Electric 12 string guitar, Rickenbacker 4003 bass, e-bow, electric guitar and atmospheric sound samples. An ever changing variety of light, shade and tempo... enjoy.
New Precision New Precision
A great unconventional song from Drastic Plastic... the final album by Be Bop Deluxe.

Stan & Ollie (a flickering screen interlude) Stan & Ollie (a flickering screen interlude)
A song about the silent movie era...Stan & Ollie etc. Lots of name dropping of stars from that era. Great lyrics by Tony webster. An 'Americana' feel to this arrangement.
Baffled And Bewildered (Instrumental option) Baffled And Bewildered (Instrumental option)
A nice guitar instrumental version of a Big Sleep song of the same name. The short intro, is just fun and games when I was messing with the controls on one of the synth options in the Garageband app. on my I-pad Air.
A Dark & Stormy Sea A Dark & Stormy Sea
Created for Clicker's Club music challenge October 2016
Pretty Flamingo (variations on a theme) Pretty Flamingo (variations on a theme)
I've taken the old Manfred Mann song, Pretty Flamingo, as a launch point for a variety of guitar excursions both 'Retro' and 'Modern'. A nice first outing for my new Yamaha Pacifica 612. The bass as always, is the trusty Rickenbacker 4003.
Progressive Rock Instrumental in 3 4 (Clickers Clu Progressive Rock Instrumental in 3 4 (Clickers Clu
A progressive Rock Style instrunental in 3/4 time (well, most of the time). Hey, If only I could have played like this back in the 1970s then I might have been in a 'proper' Progressive Rock band and toured the world, had an album out every year etc:
1. Fjordland (pt. 1) 1. Fjordland (pt. 1)
Part (one) of a longer piece (in 3 sections).
2. The Fishing Village (pt 2) en littel fiskeby 2. The Fishing Village (pt 2) en littel fiskeby
Part two of the 'Fjordland' suite. All the three tracks of the 'Fjordland suite' have no time gaps between them. Some of the other tracks on the CD also have no time gaps between them either...getting all Prog-Rock all of a sudden :)
3. Monsters Of The Deep (pt.3) monster av den djup 3. Monsters Of The Deep (pt.3) monster av den djup
Part three of the 'Fjordland' suite...again there should be no time gap between this track and the previous ones.
4. Dark Days In The Arctic Circle 4. Dark Days In The Arctic Circle
...morka dagnar i polcirkeln...during the dark days of Winter in Northen Norway and Sweden, you can maybe hear the sound of the sea-ice creaking and cracking. Make sure you wrap up warm against the bitter cold.
5. Between Autumn & Winter.. mellan hosten och vin 5. Between Autumn & Winter.. mellan hosten och vin
Another instrumental track from the 'Fjordland' Suite
6. Glorious Summer...stalande sommer 6. Glorious Summer...stalande sommer
7. Into The Maelstrom (lat 61.0' N / long 0.53' E) 7. Into The Maelstrom (lat 61.0' N / long 0.53' E)
Another piece from the 'Fjordland' suite CD. The famous Norwegian Maelstrom...Moskstraumen... Something I'm sure that ancient Viking mariners would have been very keen to avoid. (approx... latitude 61.0' N / longitude 0.53' E)
8. Labyrinth Of Tunnels (labyrint av tunnlar) 8. Labyrinth Of Tunnels (labyrint av tunnlar)
When the Viking ship is sucked down into the maelstrom it lands, in one-piece, in the middle of a water filled arena. Huge percipitous cliffs tower over them. The only way out is to sail through one of the many tunnels that lead of from it
