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!

Apathy and greed is in the human seed
"I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well
How we live and play to get us through the day

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.
we have named the band BIG BAD DOG so we need a song and i've just written this one.....it's needing some work but as the bare bones i think it has something..what do you think?
Big Bad Dog
the big bad dog
doesn ‘t do what you want him…
You're a guitar god and should be more famous than Slash or Clapton or Vaughn ever were combined. Of the 7.5 billion people on this planet, perhaps less than 500 world-wide can blitz on the guitar like you. I'm glad I can hear you, free, right here on AloneTone, but I fell pity for the rest of the world that may never come to know you because you're somehow being overlooked by the machinery that is today's music publishing industry.
Now ain't that gorgeous! Great job, y'all! Everything works -- vocals, lyrics, percussion, the ambience -- everything. It all comes together wonderfully, and the mix down and mastering job is marvelously tasteful.
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Meg Radley on vocals
way to go
great escape
such a clever girl you are
made the grade
change the course
all because of what she said
climb up the ladder
release the lion trapped inside
all our thoughts…
Bitter-sweet, gripping, moving, reaching. Again, the right vocalist for the music, and the right music for the lyrics. You're painting masterpieces with sounds -- musical Mona Lisas.
from the album 'ZERO'
with Alex Moody on Vocals
lover cease
and desist what you say
cause there's a ton of trouble
coming your way
lover be strong
it's gonna be a crazy ride
but when it all hits the fan
i'll be the one with the plan…
This one struck and grabbed me like a classic Jim Morrison and the Doors number. Delicious! Very tasty, well done, and sweetly trippy! I'm especially digging this one! This one would be a big hit if I was one of the fat, balding cigar chompers who rule the music industry and make these decisions.
from the album 'ZERO'
featuring Tess Savigear on vocals
as you wish said the boy
to the girl with the sparkling eyes
so it goes, so they say
he was taken from her that day
and her deep blue eyes went silent
just another sad tale, so sorry…
Tess's voice really rocks with these sounds -- gorgeous. You're really good at how you blend and pan and volume the various tracks into the final mix down, which is a science and an art. You've got a groovy feel for composing, for mixing, and for finding the right vocalists.
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Meg Radley on vocals
wait a day
might as well stay, awhile
here with me
where the breeze, blows
just say now
time grows shorter
then we dream
awake a scream, out loud
leaving leaves a hole
kicks around…
Meg’s voice blends really well with your expert creation. You really are brilliant -- fabulous, classy mix downs, each song of yours I’ve ever listen to. Rock on!
Steve (SLKrell) and I have been competing over the same *"IMAGINARY"* girlfriend for years now.
And Yep . . . Steve started it. Well she's mine now, at least until Steve writes the next song. Look for Steve's music here:
http://alonetone…
You guys are hilarious. You put so much heart and soul into putting a professional, classy musical track to some crazy silly lyrics. Y'all are so lovable. No wonder Rosie is so torn between you and Steve -- but y'all better watch it. I heard a rumor that some guy name Ron might start making moves on that gal.
ADOBE & BLOOD
Thanks to David Kneller
for bringing up the subject
and creating that phrase:
ADOBE & BLOOD
I read a lotta stories about a lotta stuff
But I tell ya folks, I'll never read enough
To block out the memories what…
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
Am I the only one who thinks this recording needs to be cranked up to between -10 and -15 dbs? I have the tools to boost this and at the same time eliminate any hiss/floor noise that might get boosted as well, if y'all are interested. Just say, "go for it" and tell me where to send the edited file.
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Alex Moody on vocals
you used to be
someone I could believe in
someone much better than me
and now you're no better than the others
i'm sorry to say...
you weren't so smart
locking yourself in your house…
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Tess Savigear on vox
seems like I felt this way before
but my memory is not to be trusted
so many things flashing through my brain
was it real or a dream or something else
you're staring at me like a criminal…
Here is my contribution to the Cherry Pie project of Greg's ....I had started it with the intention of a collaboration with Geas ...but i went down the pub tonight and watched a gig down there and came back a bit over excited..as i haven't had…
Of all the versions of this sweet song, this one is the most unique. Digging all the craziness, especially that twisted wah wahing lead guitar -- delicious!!!
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.

You ALWAYS blow me away, you're such a mind-warping guitarist! Choice chomps! Never stop shredding -- you're the man!

That's some mighty wicked bass -- I love a busy bass!
R O C K - O N!!! A song of social conscious, like we use to write in the '60s! Great lyrics, great sounds, great attitude = GREAT JOB!
Beautiful! Gorgeous! Fabulous! Impressive and amazing! GREAT JOB!!!
Those were some sad tones, but it certainly wasn't a sad mix down!

Classic mid-late '60s sound, and the mix down is fabulous. I really enjoyed Alex's voice. GROOVY!
This was entertaining and I think you should develop this one into something longer.
Tess's vocals are a fabulous compliment to a superb mix down of choice sounds -- great job!
That's some damn fine slide guitar work. Your voice blended well with Greg's in the number.
Of all the versions of this sweet song, this one is the most unique. Digging all the craziness, especially that twisted wah wahing lead guitar -- delicious!!!
