beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.

Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
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…

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...
Take off your underwear

I used to listen to the original version of this tune from Crash Bandicoot while driving to and from a job that I hated. It reminded me of working retail and how every customer is heartless and nothing is fair. After my success with making Fight…
This is the song that nearly killed my desire to have anything to do with music or recording ever again. Sure, let’s pretend that one cello is a whole symphony orchestra. Yes, that’ll be easy.
I learned a lot from this piece about trying to…
Take a look around...
Tell me what you see...
Anger in her face...
Cried with stolen tears...
Careful of her words.
They're not what they seem...
First to cast a stone.
Never without sin.

A little spaghetti metal featuring The Two Regs
The Hangman
It was a cloudless blue sky
there was no where for her to hide
in the hot sun, as she witnessed her man die
the accuser stood with his head high
as he told all his lies…
i always wanted to do a version of i am the walrus.
i did not include the radio part in the middle, nor all the
king lear quotes uttered. but i did use most of the strings
they used for effect. this is a kind of prog - psyche - hard rock…
This is one of my most prided works. It uses layering on a steel guitar arpeggio/melody. Instrumentation includes flute, guitar, strings, chorus, orchestral percussion and a few others. Enjoy!
It hit me...I know so many sides of so many arguments it's all become useless.
TOO MUCH
I’ve heard too much. I’ve seen too much
Don’t ask me any questions because
I know too much
I’ve read too much. I’ve written too much
Consider…
This is a GHOST OF JOHN MURPHY SONG
I laid down some tracks and Jeff, upon listening came up with this rant...
NO MORE
No more sin or sorrow foolish tantrum to a fault
No more dirth upon the land that withers under the assault
No…
This is another GHOST OF JOHN MURPHY piece from the VOICES CD...
DIAMOND - Monster Wave
It started with an earthquake half a mile below
Belching like a bull whip to make the water blow
Monster in the making, Frankenstein unchained
Gravity…

EPIC!!!!!!!!!! Haaa!!!! Great Work all the way around!!!!
Ya nailed it. Awesome mix.
beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.
Wow... I see why it took 5 months. A wonderous construction indeed. As I'm no longer an Alonetoner... I'm Mac McIntyre
another beauty from the house of Russe ......
Awesome classic rock, outstanding tune!
I missed this one. Really Nice Ballad.
Good ole Rock N Roll...still alive and kicking!!
Nice -- really, really nice.
A great, Classic Rock-style song -- vocals, guitar, lyrics, vocals, everything! Rock on!
I still like it as it is!!
Wonderful piece. Enjoy the variety in your material.
So sweet! Love the lyrics. Such a gorgeous vocal job. Very gentle yet so powerful.
If you were going for that AC/DC sound, you nailed it. You sure can cook up some fine recordings! Great job -- Rock on!
Astonishingly great blend of vox - you guys sound amazing together! More please.
This is such a lovely, heartfelt tribute. Romantic/cool, very fabulous.
Typical Andy R gem , a great listen
This is great. I added it to my collection. Always impressed with your music.
Another great number! Love that wah guitar and your vocals are superb :-) Great production.
Great track and a great recording Andrew, love your guitar tone and playing, great vocals!!

Oh my goodness! I love the sounds you are making.
And here am I trying to figure out how to get a convincing "cello" impersonation out of the various instruments I can actually play!
Oh wow! That sounds fabulous. Gorgeous cello sound.
That's a tough song to listen to. Powerful stuff.
Ah, a fine chord. One of my favourites.
I'm ashamed to say I don't actually know any Mahavishnu Orchestra... but this sounds like you had a lot of fun. Nice one.
Like it.
Oh yeah... :)
Cool grooves. Loving the sounds.
You're a crazy man!! :)
That's really rather effective. Not easy-listening, but moving.
Nice one. like it. I have to admit, I was expecting "that riff" when I pressed play, though lol
Back for another listen to this - very tasty indeed.
Beautiful stuff.
Like it :)
Stunning!
Oh wow... 3 tracks that hit the nail right on the head for me.
And that's some pretty good ranting. Like this a LOT. It usually takes a while for lyrics to grab me, but this lot dragged me right in immediately.
Oh yeah, creepy. Like it.
That does sound good
