This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…

Thanks for the comments! I've now upped a different mix with a hurdy-gurdy sample.... not exactly what I had in mind, but you get the idea. Let me know if you or someone you know plays a hurdy gurdy, and we'll do it right.

Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.

My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…

I'm not so sure the tunes selected by Ramen music necessarily reflect the popular vote as demonstrated by Alonetone "most favorited", etc. And it is a thankless job, inherently biased, to make selections for Ramen Music. I don't envy the position of the editors. Alas, that was historically one of the problems that lead to the demise of other record labels...
In any case, don't let it work on your head. You have a sizeable fan base and we LOVE what you are producing. Now, return to your studio and get back to work: we are hungry for more!
I'm still getting around to re-upping everything I took down last October.... this is one of them, and if I recall correctly, this is the track that was the impetus for Paul & I to start collaborating. (Something I've been missing a lot…
I’ll make my exit on the wind
Nevermore to pretend
That I’m fine
Yeah, I’m good, so good
At doin’ everything I should
To convince you
That I’m okay for today
An’ I won’t crawl out of my skin
I’ll just pretend
Some days…
Another loop - not recorded that well and don't have the time to do much with it, but here it is none the less. The title more or less is a reflection on my life at the moment. Using the same junk I always do...
This is a piece of happy, dancy synth music. It is kind of old school, so much so in fact that it actually features a genuine vintage analog synthesizer - a Roland JX-8P.

Just a sketch dedicated to cheap, shi**y coyote lighters. It's winter and I'm freezing my hands off trying to light a cigarette. Cheers.. The drum loop is crap, need to replace it with something better (as I said - just a sketch).
Excellent jam, perfect driving music... looking forward to hearing what you do with the drums. This track has the things I love about bands like Ozric Tentacles & Titan.
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
[Thanks to Helen and Colin for coming to my aid with the warblings! :) ]
When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
Thamyris invented the 8 string Cithara and challenged the muses to a musical duel. His punishment for losing was to have his hands cut off. Now all he can do is imagine one last chattar solo as he takes his last breath. The gods have taken away…
This came about after the death of a friends wife from lung cancer. He said that he would sit at the kitchen table and talk to the empty chair just like she was still there.
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
My first Christmas original just off the presses with that cowboy, spaghetti western style.
Paul: Why don't you try Jingle Bells or something
Geas: Oh God,No, I hate the classics... that sucks......
Paul: Yea that does suck. Try emmmm, Oh Holy…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
There's a lovely sense of endless time in this - it works well with the drone
1 second late lol...really cool!

listening to this album ,, I like the blue-mars effect :)
Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.
The guitar is killer! Great great great!
Sweet! good job guys!!!!!
Oh yeah! Waiting for more! Great beats and cool guitar in perfect unison! This is gonna be beautiful, guys! Tess
Great job both of you. This is great nice guitar. Brilliant.
Great tune and guitar , had to fav it.

Ohhh, I like what you've done with this! Beautiful string work here. Many thanks!

Had to log back in to fav this one. Cant help but think of Lou Reed a little here.

Amen. It just doesn't always feel like it from our perspective. But thanks for reminding me again.

Comments made by Cave Street
another excellent track
Fav'ed.
Wow!
you've captured the mood...
What a great track! Reminiscent of the popular synth music of my teenage years... except much better!
Excellent jam, perfect driving music... looking forward to hearing what you do with the drums. This track has the things I love about bands like Ozric Tentacles & Titan.
I have to imagine that you count Rick Danko & Richard Manuel as influences.... Great lyrics & vocals!!!
Wow, this is reminiscent of some of The Band's best work.... and that's really saying something! Well done!!
one of my favorites!
killer track!
one of my favorites.
