I was listening to the first wondering how you were going to get guitar and bass into it... and there they were :-)
Huge sound, works really well. Vocals get a bit lost in it for my money - but I was listening to the guitars by then!!
Wow...Andrew you are too kind. As a teen I would fall asleep too Electric ladyland or Axis...etc...maybe in some weird way it subliminally affected me...haa!
Back for another listen. I went to bed buzzing last night because of this. Over breakfast, the missus had to put up with me explaining and miming the virtues of this performance... (poor girl)
That entry at 1:19 - crumbs. And 3:38 til the end... And the end itself... It sounds so "live" that I'm expecting crowd noises!
Woof! Lovely.
When you want to do it, you've got the "expressive Hendrix" thing completely and utterly pegged - how to play it and how to record it - I'm in awe.
I know guitarists - and you probably do too - who'll sit around saying "oh so-and-so just copies Jimi/SRV/whoever" ... don't ever listen to them - they're just jealous lol. They bought the right gear, the pedals, whatever, and they still can't make the sound...
You've got it in the fingers/brain/soul, and I find it a joy to listen to.
Magnificent stuff.
You guys captured that feeling of driving dog tired...the guitars give that feeling of an endless road night. Very nice.
Sorry to here about your friend Dave, God bless.
Haaa! I love the concept! The music fits perfect with the pondering of steel plates w/ small gussets and 3/8" holes....I deal with that jargon myself....great tune.
The production of this song was influenced by Paul McCartney's song "Sing the Changes"
He Calls Me
I’ll climb rugged mountains
I’ll swim through the sea
I’ll walk hills and valleys
My Lord is calling me
Oh, He calls me,
Yes, He calls me…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…
Holy shit....another epic cut! What you couldnt extend it another 4 seconds to make it a full 6min? This is excellent work , Quadrophenia meets the boys of Lizzy. Your a marauder!
Rock instrumental. Recorded Christmas 2008.
I'd struggled with a DAW. I'd stopped recording. And then my lovely wife got me a Boss MBR for Christmas. I thought this little thing the size of a fag-packet would be a nice "scratch-pad" songwriting…
A cover of Larry Wallis's fine ditty (it's always been one of my favourite Dr Feelgood songs).
This was my second recording with my Boss MBR, recorded early 2009. It confirmed for me that I was a "standalone recorder" kind of guy, and there was…
I missed this one....Sweet playin Andrew. I love the sound of those double tracked rythym gtr....and the verb on the lead is perfect as well as tge playing.
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
Billy said on his Everyday track he had some space for some words.. so i put a few together .....Thanks Billy

A guitar tone with mondo gonads and drums similar to Mr.Bonham pounding away. Very unique creation here...maybe only similar to Zappa. Enjoyed the listen!

This is what is known as a "hostile takeover".
MCOBigBen wrote the song and gave Tim the multitracks.
Tim chopped and edited away, adding guitars, backing vocals, and various production.
Grant added drums.
Ben still hasn't heard it at this point....

I didnt know how to do a mix when I recorded most of these tracks....way too much mudd and bass..

Woo... running out of superlatives to use here. Haven't heard a track I didn't like yet.
Very nice take on this one.
Yep one of my favourites too
I just KNEW you must have done this one at some point :-) Lovely version
Wonderful flavours - great playing!
Lovely..
tasteful finergings
tuff coolness
Andrew...that is a great story...lol! When you love music as much as you and I do its hard to explain...
Wow...Andrew you are too kind. As a teen I would fall asleep too Electric ladyland or Axis...etc...maybe in some weird way it subliminally affected me...haa!
I like the tune! I saw G3 in '97.
Very nice guitar playing, thanks for the song comments!
OK... I've got to dust my strats off now (I've been enticed away by a cute 335 recently).
Thank you my friend. I have never been much of a shred meister but I try to at least phrase my lead lines to fit within the song.

Great vibe on the lead, Smart playing, not too many notes,but rininging Out all the vibe and tone!!!!!!!

Loving your stuff - fantastic guitars on this one. So much expression in the lead.

I was in need of a wake up.....love the production on this...its very uplifting...much more than this morning java;)
That is killer....love that gnarly bass line.
Always a pleasure listening to your music. Great arrangement on the background vocals. I like , I like , I like this song...he he

Damn....thats a gem.
Nice tune. Sounds like Phil Linott singing.....crazy similarity. Love the lead gtr phrasing and tone.

Soothing music for the soul.
Ooohh, that is blues with a big pair a balls attached!
Sweet song right here.
Good schtuff fellas!
Bad ass tuneage! Spankin the 7#9 chord with thick tone. Nice!
Some beautiful music right here. Helping me ease into the work day.
The verb on the squeeky strings is awesome...nice choice. Very isolated vibe you set on these tunes.:)
