I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).

This is really good stuff. Songwriting firmly placed in late 70's art rock/pop, which is a very good place to be, if you ask me. Contemporary, skilled production makes for a tasty sound palette and a very enjoyable listening experience. Bravo!
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

I dig the classic flavor of this one. Some choice bass runs. Groovy lyrics. Great vocal delivery. Superb mix-down skills. Thanks for checking out "niaR" on my Gene Eric Mann profile. Hear it as "Rain" on my Nightmoth profile. Rock on!
Pop-rock tale about a character in a novel that I fancied. Recorded in 2009 on a Boss MBR.

Waiting for the story to unfold…
I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Place In The Sun
Toms Tune / Lyrics
It’s the spiraling mind that’ll slowly unwind
And scatter thoughts for no one to find
It’s the restless heart that simply come's apart
Forever searching for a new start
No I’m not one to ever come…
So Many Things
By Mark Andrew
So many things, inside my head
So many words, that needs to be said
Time, travels on
Days and nights, nights and days,
all have their song
Time, travels on
Days and nights, nights and days,
all have…
Belladonna
(Timbob Tune / Chris Lyric)
I see her beauty shines so bright
In the red summer sunlight
Venus casts her blinding light
Much to Mars’ delight
A molten marriage of fire and ice
The seductive serpent in paradise
She’s the Goddess…
First Lie
Chris Tune / Toms Lyrics
I heard you singing from the roof tops
saw you swinging in the trees
tripping on a cough drop
dealing your disease
I watched you watching from the washroom
heard you tumble down my stairs
passed out…
Trying to figure out what an Inbeseen might be - but who cares? Whirly organ, scrunchy guitars, and that bass (I'd actually like to hear more of that - there's some groovy stuff going on down there) - what else does one need?
Solid stuff.
Oh yeah. Nice contrast between the verses and when the double time kicks in. And then the stonking guitar that kicks off the middle section - woof! I specially love the guitar in the verses.

Ambient, building electric guitar instrumental, something like a cross between the late great Gary Moore and some softer stuff by Allan Holdsworth.

When this started, I was disappointed that it was going to be an instrumental to close. But I was wrong, the guitar does the job of a vocal, lyrics and all...
Superb set of songs - loved every minute of it. Well done, very well done.
Morning Glow
End of the line
Ahead of me just loneliness
Scanning the horizon - only emptiness
Losing heart for a while
As the twilight’s rolling in
Getting caught between the darkness and despair
Used to never fail

Oh I LOVE how you use chords and harmonies.
Wonderful dynamics in this one. It almost feels like it has two choruses, the bridge is so powerful. And then when the chorus proper kicks in, it's shiver-down-the-spine time... Superb.
TIME TO HEAL
The gates of freedom close at hand
Time to rise and take a stand
Sometimes you have to let it go
Leave behind all that you know
To draw a line up in the sand
Some secrets stay inside
Finding a way to hide
So many moments…
And a resonator! (Sounds like you've got the same guitar collection I have - hehe).
Aww this is a gorgeous song. The backing vox are spot on. And I think this my favourite lead vocal so far.
On, I DON'T have a pedal/lap steel - is that what it is? Sounds fabulous.

Reminds me a bit of classic rock Bowie. Really cool!

Nice closer - I'm a sucker for a good organ! Fine album. Well done guys :-)
Oooh, nice contrast
Loving the guitars on this one
Nice one
Oh yesss - very strong riff. Liked this one a lot.

How did I miss this???! Rocking
Yep, listen to that Peppermint woman - come back and upload some more... this is fabulous
Ooo, and this is a goodie
...but I love this one.
I like this one...
Oh, gorgeous organ sound.
Love the emptiness - the arrangement fits the mood rather well.
Mac's & Gene's comments brought me here... Glad I made the trip. And this was a jam? Very cool.
