A quite 'straight ahead' rock feel to this at the beginning. The Rickenfaker bass has a lovely fat sound to it... Then it gets anthem-like from 2:45 onwards

Mighty fine - has a definite "conclusion"/"closure" vibe to it. I kinda like how the final one has a title of "Growing" implying the story goes on (which the music does as well)

This is bathed in reverb... probably too much! It's got a bit of a Southern Rock vibe at 1:00 to 1:45- then it has a big 'glow-stick Prog Rock' ending to it

Millions of years ago... Before the dawn of history... I was a in a school band. I couldn't play an instrument then so I was the vocalist. This tune was one of the band's originals.
Now, bear in mind this was the 'Ay-deees' so it was mullets…
It started off as a shimmery, summery canvas in my head but morphed into something very different from the middle 8 onwards. It was originally done at 100BPM but sounded a bit 'ploddy' and pedestrian so I beefed it up
This started life as a vey simple 'disco' bass riff over which I then brought in the chords. Its got a sort of 80s pop/prog thing going on - not surprising as I'd been listening to a lot of Nik Kershaw when I recorded it!

Thanks @andrew! It took a long time (by my standards) to complete this and I think musically it tracks where my head was at various points in its development!
A straight-ahead rock song with a quirky arrangement change on the second verse. Includes a trippy Pink Floyd-esque middle 8 and a Boyzone rousing key change at the end... You're welcome! 😆

That’s so kind @andrew! I’m not a keyboard player (Bass is the instrument I started to learn 9 years ago) but synths are so cool to experiment with!

Here's the very latest from the broom-cupboard.
I wrote it one dark night over 23 years ago.

**All I Have To Do - A A J Russe**
There isn’t much time to get this out
You won’t hear me if I have to…
The Last Resort would have been too long if this had been included so I did a fade-in to create Part 2... The chords in the verse have a passing resemblance to 'A Few Words For The Dead' by Marillion... I found that out afterwards!
There's…
I hadn't heard the Rainbow connection but on listening again, you're right! As a guitarist, you'd love modern-day Marillion (Steve Rothery is just a master of less is more). Try 'Neverland' from the album 'Marbles'.... sublime playing

This was a problem child.. The other tracks fell together quickly but this was a slow burn. The chorus is far more uplifting than the verse - which reminds me of a melancholy hybrid of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the outro to the 70s British…

I am. And I'm enjoying too! An absolute beauty - especially love the chill intro!
Thanks @Andrew - That was exactly the creative process!

Thanks @Sister - can't wait to put some vocals on the end section of this!
Awesome full sound! (Looking forward to some of these with your fab vox!)
Thanks @Andrew!
Cool! I'm intrigued to know what else you're going to do on these tracks once the world has returned to normal and you've got access to more kit.
Thank you @sister savage!
Love that bass riff! It deserved a track around it like a cloak.
Another beaut! This album is one of the best things to come out of Isolation 2020.
Thanks for your feedback @Andrew!
Another goodie. Digging the bass sound on this one.
Thank you @Andrew and @Sister! 🤗
Yep. Mighty cool stuff. Welcome to Alonetone :)
Here we go! Welcome to Alonetone, Matt! Love this track - breezy, open air feel - just what I need during this lockdown.

That's just made me laugh out loud @Andrew! 😂
Awww.. Fanks @Sister! 😊 I'm quite proud of it!
@sister - Thats now an image stuck in my head - dayglo leg warmers and everything!
Thanks @Andrew!

Thank you @slkrell!
@Colleen - thank you for your kind words 😊
Thanks @sister! Sadly the amps, mics and the good bass guitars are 3,500 miles away - so the vocals will have to be added when/if I get home!

@AMUC - thank you! a nod towards the 70s keyboard maestros like Tony Banks and Keith Emerson
I love the vibe on this - kinda Del Amitri meets 10cc!
