I don't know how old y'all are, but you're playing the style of Rock I grew up loving, and I'm 54. If y'all are indeed my age, I'm glad arthritis hasn't stopped you yet! Rock the Hell on!
Reminds me of some early Black Sabbath/Deep Purple/Grand Funk Railroad-style "slow jammin'." I dig how y'all synch together. I hope your band much deserved success. But you're aiming at an audience that's mostly a ways over 30 -- today's music buyers want Hip Hop and Industrial. :(
Your keyboardist really is the glue that keeps y'all together. I mean, the guitar is sweet and mean, the bass is steady, the drummer is tight, but that keyboard is happening!
Second song by Martin Fox
Was on a Pete Townshend kick lately. this one came to me as i was listening to the random recordings on my phone. still not happy with the vocal mix. we spent a lot of time tweaking too.
Having wrote a song myself called "Last Night," I had to check out yours. I'm with Greg on the bounce and Fat Burrito on the harmony. Can definitely discern a "The Who" influence, and that's just far out groovy.
Second side opener by Martin fox
This chord progression came to me in a pre-rpm jam and we instantly nailed the feel. The words came easy too. Another five piece number. The words are about my loved ones i have lost and my feelings about our…

First side closer by Kent Good.
This song was recorded our first session of the month. We were playing as a five piece and i really love the sound. This is one of KGs best song to date.
Fourth song by Martin Fox
My first shot at really going for it on vocals. dont know if i quite hit the bullseye. this song is a modern internet love/revenge tale .
Opening song by Kent Good. We played pretty good in Feb. We are not "chops" players, but i think we rocked this one pretty good.This song will evolve a bit as we break it in live.

beatlesy/Whosy.. cheeky little number. Great song. Massively tempting to have a go at a cover. May have to if it doesn't leave my brain voluntarily soon!

I completely changed the arrangement of this song. Again. Previous versions included a wall of acoustic guitar. Out goes the guitar, in comes the trumpet and drums...
When I first put this track together, it was for a celtic music band. I found out 1., celtic bands have a habit of imploding, and 2., the whistle tracks were frequently in the wrong key. So, I dusted this track off, dusted off an old Yamaha…
If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life
Filled with things that sparkle and flash,
Rusty nails and old tin cans
Sure, they're pretty when they get wet
But it ain't the most comfortable bed
Unless you're here
I've been…
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist.
APATHY AND GREED
Apathy and greed is in the human seed
"I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well
How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…
MY SPIRIT
Spirit Father in the sky
Mother Earth, they hear my cry
Take my spirit from my mind
Leave the rest of me behind
Feed my ashes to the wind
I will journey back again
When the sky is deepest blue
Know I'm looking down at you…
DURING THE STRESS OF THE TRIAL REG HAS PULLED A NEW GIRL WHOS A LITTLE WEIRD BUT HEY SO IS REG....BUT THIS IS THE LAST THING HE NEEDS...IT'S NOT GONNA HELP.....
Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
More lo-fi noodlings for RPM. Featuring 2 year old daughter let loose on a box of instruments, and then messed with in goldwave. Will be a (poorly) hidden track on RPM album.. when there are actual songs on it.
Muriel Jeanne Skinner promised that if it were possible she would come back from the dead to
tell me about the afterlife. She has not returned..
Opened the window to let some air flow through
A bird flew in and landed in my living room
Something…
everyone says I cant sing. I can its just im not very good.
its not about whether I can so much as whether I should.
but I do! yeah I will.. strangle that cat anyhoo
people say I cant, I can.. im just not very good.
everyone says I cant…
if my mind goes
before I go
do me a favour
help me on my way?
yes if my mind dies
before I die
dont sit watching me talking nonsense
take that old fool out the game.
if my ability to hold a pee should
go astray
and im not a 100 percent…
ill make you happy
ill make you pleased
you stayed around
to find out who id be
and ill make you sure
you were right to hold on
when the whole world let go
and denied it knew me.
hey! nobodys saying
itll be all plain sailin
cos nothing…

Its got the swang of 'dirty dirty' by crazy horse. Which is one of my all time favourites (used to be my ringtone). This is in every way on a par
Then it switches to the perfect world - Love it!
Modern Neil - Awesome!!

This jam has that classic flavor that I just eat up. It would have been a hit at the 1st Woodstock. Hendrix would have wanted to get in on this one.
Reminds me of some early Black Sabbath/Deep Purple/Grand Funk Railroad-style "slow jammin'." I dig how y'all synch together. I hope your band much deserved success. But you're aiming at an audience that's mostly a ways over 30 -- today's music buyers want Hip Hop and Industrial. :(
DIG! Late '60s garage grunge meats mid '80s hardcore punk! Cool lyrics. Groovy music. GREAT FUN -- awesome drum solo! Rock on!

Dig. Sweet picking at the end. I'm DTD about the length - I could have stood a few more seconds of that. It was just getting juicy!

Choice grooves! Would love to hear your sound recorded as a mix-down of multi-trax through something like Cool Edit Pro.
Dig those bass lines!
How many guitar-layers are you using fro this song? Damn, the sound quality is top-notch on this! awesome.
Trippy! Very cool vocals. A colorful, groovy combination of sounds. Tasty and fuzzy -- I dig music I can see, taste and feel. Rock on!
A good side one......
i think you hit it....
lgood start.....
I really like the tempo on this tune. Vocals are spot on and I'm digging the chord progression. Enjoyed!
beatlesy/Whosy.. cheeky little number. Great song. Massively tempting to have a go at a cover. May have to if it doesn't leave my brain voluntarily soon!
massive grower..

another well crafted tune. just switched to headphones. great mix.
from across the room this sounded like Jethro Tull. up close it reminds me of REM . very nice vox on the repeating lines. nice one!
like the riff and the attitude.
awesome to hear some new FDR!. rocking as always.
Dreams don't mess around. cant wait for a complete album listen. im sure its another jem.
captures a nice late eighties dead vibe...
words couldnt be better. nie performance.
great song.
very nice mix.voices are cool.
very nice.
you are a prolific songwriter. go go go
good one.
love your lyrics. so much emotion in your vox. very good stuff.
yes! damn powerful!
Worth the wait. Another classic! Moody fans are rejoicing! more more more
i got my two year olds voice on my Hefty Strongside RPM album last year. he loves to hear it. this is cool.
beautiful. i wouldnt mind having a go at this one.
this is such a bold collection of performance. blown away. your soul is louder than your awesome voice.
if this were fourty years ago they would be talking about John Lennons lost weekends with Alex Moody not Harry Nilsson...
blown away, brother!
