(track 11) Into the World of Adventures (track 11) Into the World of Adventures
The final part of the story is yet to play out . . .a new adventure begins
You Set My Heart Ablaze You Set My Heart Ablaze
Another from the 'Major Snagg Golden Archive'. Very much in the style of early Be Bop Deluxe I guess. This was also recorded way back when I first went 'digital' in 2003. Prior to that I recorded on a Fostex X-16 cassette 4 track machine.
The key To Your Heart The key To Your Heart
I was well and truly in 'Be Bop Deluxe mode' at this point in time. . . this was recorded back in 2003 ! Rock guitar with the odd flurish of Bill Nelson flavoured riffery. One of my favourite 'playing with the echo' solos. Heck, is that really me !
Local Hero Local Hero
A story song about a Local Guitar Hero . . .yes, you guessed it; It's about Bill Nelson in his Be Bop Deluxe days. So, this is me playing in a very Rock guitar mode. I recorded this way back in 2003 when I first went 'digital'.
Got To Escape (Quiet Neighbourhood) Got To Escape (Quiet Neighbourhood)
A new song with a nice Rickenbacker bass growl and lots of other inter-playing guitar textures. It also features a (hopefully) catchy singalong chorus. A song about . . . fate, ambition, regret etc . . .
(track1) In Another Doorway (track1) In Another Doorway
The introductory instrumental to Albertropolis Revisited . . . re-introducing a musical theme from the first Albertropolis album by Big Sleep..
I'm Watching You . . . with Rodrica Rudge I'm Watching You . . . with Rodrica Rudge
A catchy pop song, originally by Silent Network. This is a brand new recording featuring Rodrica Rudge on lead vocals.
Radio City (1980) Radio City (1980)
A song inspired by Bill Nelson's Red Noise period, and the hard edged Pop of XTC's early period. A nice slice of 1980's Pop/ Rock, for those of you who can remember that far back :)
Down the Rabbit hole Down the Rabbit hole
A full blown psychedelic trip . . .! thanks to Lewis Caroll and The Beatles etc...
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.
The Girl From Ipanema Bossa Nova Medley The Girl From Ipanema Bossa Nova Medley
My own jazzy interpretation of the classic tune by Antonio Carlos Jobim, with a touch of 'Wave' and 'The more I see you' thrown in for good measure.
Feel so Heavenly (with Rodrica Rudge) Feel so Heavenly (with Rodrica Rudge)
A new/ upgraded version of a song from my 'Silent Network' days, with vocals by Rodrica Rudge.
Say you'll be mine (with Rodrica Rudge) Say you'll be mine (with Rodrica Rudge)
A collaboration with Rodrica Rudge. A snappy pop song about love, trust, loss and desire. How even favourite places shared together, can never be the same afterwards. All the usual mixed emotions . . . you get the picture.
Audacity test piece Audacity test piece
I am trying to work with a new DAW...Audacity (3.1.3) It's a bit of an uphill battle at the moment but I am determined to get my old brain into gear and master it. This is my first attempt. Latency seems to be at zero...so fingers crossed...
CARTE BLANCHE (Bond Theme) 2021 CARTE BLANCHE (Bond Theme) 2021
I created this several years ago for The Coconut Blues Club here on Soundclick. Seeing as the new 007 film, No Time To Die is premiered today, I thought it was a good idea to upload this again. "Goodnight Mr Bond"
Dreams Taking Flight Dreams Taking Flight
An acoustic guitar based instrumental. I've used 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars, bass, orchestral strings, flute and gentle percussion. Like my other tune in this 'acoustic' series, this is a DAW-less recording.
Visions of endless Hopes Visions of endless Hopes
A cover of a lovely tune by Bill Nelson. I've used both 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars on this. There is also some keyboard generated orchestral strings plus a shadow of synth 'drone' sounds.
Angels In Arcadia Angels In Arcadia
My own 'interpretation' / cover of an absolute classic by Bill Nelson
A Summer Song A Summer Song
I heard this recently and thought it was such a nice song. So, here's my quite accurate interpretation.
