What Do I Know What Do I Know
A pop song that started life as something in the style of The Police. That idea got a little submerged as the session progressed. It certainly has elements of their trademark sound in the clean chorused guitar riff.
Inching My Way Towards The Future Inching My Way Towards The Future
Yes, it's meant to be LOUD. Sound-wise, this is an intentional throw-back to a Big 1970s style Stadium-Rock Guitar sound. Oh yes, I had lots of fun doing this. guitars used were: Yamaha Revstar 420 and Rickenbacker 4003 bass
Flicker & Fade (part one) Flicker & Fade (part one)
An improvised piece using delayed and treated guitars
Somebody's Been Talking Somebody's Been Talking
A Big, Powerful yet slightly controversial song.
Flicker & Fade (part two) Jazz Option Flicker & Fade (part two) Jazz Option
A recording with 'left field', weirdness ... Flicker & Fade, is turning out to be a bit of a 'Weird' album so far.
Strings And Tin Strings And Tin
A slightly reflective melancholy song in a powerful pop rock setting. Lots of harmony vocals. I enjoyed recording those parts just as much as I did recording all the various guitar parts.
Stereoland Stereoland
The wonderful lyrics are mostly by Jesus Oldman. I changed some of them around a little and added the odd line or two of my own. Then I composed this snappy little song to fit them all in. It's worked out very well.
Pacific Coast Highway Pacific Coast Highway
An 'Old School' Twangy guitar instrumental...another for my 'Stereoland' album.
Incident In Gastown Incident In Gastown
I've turned up the gain to give this an almost 'dirty' amp sound. Hank Marvin would never go into this territory.
Time Travel Radio 1958 Time Travel Radio 1958
A guitar instrumental with a difference.
The Mermen Of Atlantis The Mermen Of Atlantis
A Retro Modern Surf / Twang 'Mind Movie' guitar instrumental with psychedelic middle sections.
Late Night Television USA Late Night Television USA
Another of what my dear friend Jesus Oldman calls, Mind Movies. Watching all those old 'classic' American Sci-Fi movies late at night can trouble your dreams years later. Just make sure the plants in your greenhouse are the one's that you planted.
Bad Boy Bad Boy
A Rock 'n Roll oldie that The Beatles played in their live set back in the day.
Incident At Poodle Springs Incident At Poodle Springs
A Detective 'Mind Movie', soundtrack with voice samples.
I'll Be On My Way I'll Be On My Way
This is a very old song by The Beatles. They 'gifted', it to Billy J Kramer...who, in my opinion, made a real mess of it. Thankfully hidden away on the B-side of one of his hits. This is my version with lots of nice vocal harmonies.
Rock 'n Roll Is My Girlfriend Rock 'n Roll Is My Girlfriend
A song with retro elements that enhance the vibe of the lyrics.
Perfidia (2022) Perfidia (2022)
My interpretation of an instrumental made popular in the USA by The Ventures, and by The Shadows in the UK. It's a tune that countless Beat and Surf groups have had in their set lists. It's a fun tune to play.
