The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…

It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…

This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.
There is no reverb on any vox parts in this one. I loved how I was able to get the tone of the voices to have that mid-60s sound. This was aided by the fact I am running through an emulation of the Abbey Road mixing desk. ;)
No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!
As you may have picked up on, there's a lot this year about soldiering on when your world has been destroyed. So, this is a song of hope. Have faith, have faith...
This one was a hard one to nail. The Wurlitzer riff was something I accidentally played and fell in love with immediately, so I needed to write a song that enhanced the mood that the tone of the Wurly evoked. The sound is so empty and spacious…
Defiance, self-doubt, hubris, failure, choosing...It's all here to hear.
The title is a nod to my love of a certain guitar player and singer from a late 60's act; who's solo records were even better. The vibrato guitar is inspired by him…
When your world is destroyed as you know it, the ability to overcome and renew yourself is a very steep ascent. It may take years, and this song is about that struggle to 'let it go'

A Song About an old Saying......
Sh*t Happens......
Lyrics
T.Mokbul 2010
-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…
I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
Now if that doesn't make you want to jump up and down, nothing will!!! Awesome!!!
Gotta jam this one again. Probably one mo' time after that :) crank it up!
That's raw and full of piss and vinegar energy. Like CBGB's energy. ..and the crowd goes absolutely berserk.
Rock it! Great song. Love the message!
My feet are tapping! Nice tone on that guitar, and interesting message.
Awesome disco touch. I like how you used the clavinet in this song
Great pure vocals
You grew up there - that explains why your music often has a British touch :-) Great song!
Wonderful melody and harmonies
Love howw the song develops. Must have been a challenge to have the Wurlitzer not ruin the stereo correlation of the mix :-)
sent you my guess in PM :-)
Great arrangement, I dig the brass especially
Interesting theme, great song
Awesome song, and really full of energy
Top Track mate really like this
Oooh....great stuff!!!
Again, love the percussion! Great work, Gary! w;-)
Ok - you've got me dancing again! w;-)
The end of this track is absolutely fabulous! w;-)
A lovely ballad with a lovely message. w;-)

Cool song brother. I like the simplicity of the guitar mixed with the dark lyrics.
The slide gtr parts have this great earthy tone to them. This song has a great feel. I love the suspensions and country blues overtones.
And yet again, more brilliant finger style playing. Beautiful work, Kavin.
Such great finger-picking... I love the song and all of the changes. Great one Kavin, simply great.
Love the Univibe effect here...
Tasty, very tasty.
I like the raw energy you put into your songs Rob. I would come see you live in heartbeat. Cheers, Gary
This has kind of a cool Revolver goes country feel to it. Nice work Rob. Cheers, Gary...
Kirk, Your versatility and skill with different styles, instruments and moods never ceases to amaze me. Cheers, Gary
Great song Mr. Moody. Excellent vox on this one.
Alex, I need to listen to you a lot more.
Cool piece, love the textures. The classical gtr interplay with the synth, the pads...all of it. Cheers! Gary
Большие песни. Cheers, Gary
This is an excellent piece. I love the melody and the tone of the piano.
I like the interplay between the clarinets and violins (violas?) And kirk is right, the cello is beautiful.
This one has a cool vibe and tone to it. Excellent work. I like the solo parts, they feel like you could float on them.
This is a very cool tune. Great falsettos... Wow, what a great voice. Organ is killer...
Bethan's right. Great track.
Great vibe here Skidoo! It's rainy here and around 1am. I have the windows wide open and this is up loud.
I like where this is going Alex
