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
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

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…
Comments on Shed Sounds's stuff
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.

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!
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!
@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!
