I’m very pleased with how the lead guitar break came out on this Political Folk song. The rocket being launched at the song’s intro is Apollo 11, carrying Neil Armstrong and company to Luna.
GOING TO TAKE A LOT
I’ve been watching for some…
A Sea Shanty with a bit of Psychedelic seasoning. Guest artist Starry Nightmoth performs the “harmonica” on a Yamaha KB as the song fades out.
37 SAILS
Thirty-seven sails be a full rigged ship
Open up ye hatch and pour ye spirit down…
This is really nice! I'm not familiar with your music, Gene, so do you write lyrics and music? Are you a one-man-band? This is the first song I've heard, it sounds a lot like Gentle Giant. Beautiful! Thank you
One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist.

Apathy and greed is in the human seed

How we live and play to get us through the day

One of my better Psych Folk recordings. Intro voice and keyboards by Starry Nightmoth. BG rhythm/drums generated using a Yamaha E313 KB. Lyrics, music and all other instruments and vocals are my fault.

Unconnected, re: noise reduction on I Lose Control v.2- if you want to, go ahead! I'd like to see what you're able to do. You can email it back to me at songsforthebroken@yahoo.com, and I will put it up and credit you. If you get any ideas while doing that and want to overdub something, feel free to do that as well! Thanks again for listening!

Have a problem with TV evangelists? You won’t have a problem with this number! This Psych Folk tune features Starry Nightmoth on church organ. The rhythm/drum track was generated using a Yamaha E313 KB, the rest is my fault.

Since you showed interest in my songs, I thought I'd check yours out too. But by god, this is impressive! Reminds me of 'Treasure Island' - one of my most favourite books of all time. Thank you for creating this. I love, love, love this.
An original composition. The Moors refer to the North Yorks Moors in the UK which has a fine stretch of heather moorland which looks magnificent when the heather is in bloom in late August/Early September
Instrumentation: CG Anglo Concertina…
still home alone so eating into the RPM ....I was tinkling on the piano and got this one going

Another day without a sunrise

Just a dark cloud

Bittersweet, with sad lyrics sung over beautiful piano. On the one hand I’m thinking, “That poor guy needs some company,” while on the other, selfish hand I’m thinking, “But out of his misery came this gorgeous music we might not otherwise have been blessed to experience.” And on my third, evil hand, I’m thinking, “What kind of awesome tune would he belt out if we increased his misery by roughing him up every now and then?”
Fun mix – I believe you tested positive! Consider extending this into something more. Have you heard of my songwriting challenge, to come up with a recording befitting the title, “How to Assemble Your Android?” This Sci Fi test sounds like the start of something that could meet that challenge.
Hey all, which Greed version do you prefer? :)
Lead guitar, organ, and drums added by Vic Lyn. He did a great job - extremely talented and insightful with music. Thanks so much, Vic. (Check out Vic's website: www.avlstudios.com
An acoustic short song I just made up, I kept it very basic by only using my little Höhner guitar with nylon strings of which I recorded two layers. I hope you will enjoy my song ! Warm regards from Anna.
RPM tack 2 --i stand atop the cathedral Notre Dame, fluffy white clouds float in an electric blue sky, gazing towards to Tour De Eiffel, i notice a small balloon flitting and flying along in the gentle summer breeze over the skyline of Paris
I thought i'd join in the fun thanks for the challenge Gene......with a little fx free from freesfx.co.uk
I built myself an android
I’ve been sitting here lonely for seems a long long time
i’ve even thought of buying myself one of them internet…
An exceptional job -- great lyrics, pleasant music. You done good. The snore at the end -- ha ha! Sure glad you got in on this challenge, and, as Greg said, welcome to the party!
there is so much in this to appreciate. You have frea taste when it comes to compiling sounds and manipulating with effects and then mixing down the tracks and mastering the final sound file. You're a sound engineering master artist!
welll... this year for RPM i am trying music and instruments i have never used/learned/done ie know nothing about... why? im not sure i now know.. but it did seem like a good idea two weeks ago.. so here is the "first half" of what i have so…

Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff
Lore of Spring, great material. Love your style.
This is really nice! I'm not familiar with your music, Gene, so do you write lyrics and music? Are you a one-man-band? This is the first song I've heard, it sounds a lot like Gentle Giant. Beautiful! Thank you
I recall this one great to hear it again :)
good rendition!
I'm not ignoring you Gene, can't sign in.... again, waiting for it to be sorted out. Roger M Harris.
Back for another listen...awesome! -Wrinkled Shirt's shadow
I just found this . . . Again. Good fun!
oh and downloaded! you nailed this!
Haha title drew me in, it reminds me of a track i did 2-3 years ago 'Plastic purple wedding'...i feel ya!:)
Very cool!

I dig it, this is awesome! There's a lot going on in this song musically, but it all fits! Well done!
COOL!!!
You,er the best at carrying on the message rick ii'm slowed down by computer changes. So keep up tthe fight.
Cool!!
Great feel and very cool guitar! Cool words too! Well done!
I'm heading out to the liquor store to down a bottle of rum after hearing your music. very creative. thanks for checking mine.
this so heavy metal. killer words
I remember this from the old *EZFolk* days. Still good.

I love it!!!
Gentle, sweet, pretty, lovely, delightful, moving, relaxing, meditative.

I dig the organ in this version. The drums are handled well. Ooh, here's the lead guitar part I was waiting for -- TOO SHORT!
Reminds me of some late-'60s Psychedelic Grunge Rock, which is like, wow, my favorite genre of music, man! Far out and groovy. Happening. Rock on!
Digging the reverb and the wammy bar. Warm sounds. Rich, full, robust chords. Tasty like chocolate Easter bunnies from Europe!
Came by to hear if I still liked this one. Apparently I still do. Gorgeous.
Like Greg Connor, this one is, SO FAR, my favorite.
I meditatively floated away with this expansive, gentle, gorgeous, peaceful piece.
And, he's a mighty fine picker too!
Bobby Hamblin knows what he's doing!

Very early-Rolling Stones-ish. I can see Mic Jagger strutting about the stage in my mind as I listen to this. Dig!
In the traditional Harris-style; slick, sly, and tasty!
Sweet, lovely lyrics, singing, and picking.
I dig this composition. It speaks to me and gets beneath my skin. Great delivery. Nice mix down/mastering job. Rock on!
You're the only songwriter I know that would, and successfully cold, write a tear-jerker about an old couch. 5 solid gold kudos! Keep it real, James!
Funkilicious, far out, groovy, fun.
