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.

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
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
Til we hear the bell that summons…

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.
we went for a few days holiday up to the lake district and stopped in a Wigwam by Coniston Lake the weather was great it was relaxing and being surrounded by beautiful scenery it was the perfect break.... i recorded this on the MBR and then had…
Yeah, dig! This seems a different style for you, and it really works for me. Your vocals are clear and clean and coming across quite nicely. I like it! Rock on!
Continuing the delay project of the last several nights spun off by Sunday's inspiration. This piece recorded on 12-string, heavy delay and overlay. Stay tuned for where I'm going...

Happens to me often when I determined to perform a song in one key and my vocal chords are determine not to function in that key. But I like what you pulled off -- works for me!
LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…
Such gorgeous picking, and awesome vocals, and as I said below from my Merry Bear account, fabulous lyrics. It's an overall brilliant composition. You really have reached a higher level, and you were up there to begin with. <3 <3 <3
I was reading a book in my lounge and started to feel as though someone was watching me. It was silent in the room, the TV was switched off as was the radio. I noticed the web-cam on top of my computer but that was switched of too so i couldn…
I wasn't expecting this -- very unlike what I'm use to hearing from you! But it's very cool! Rock on! I don't give a damn about what the thought police think of me, that's how I feel about it. I'm not ashamed of being me. I feel sorry for them. Groovy recording, duuuude!
Stevie Ray is the reason why I picked up my guitar in the first place. I did my best to mimic him throughout my short 8 months of guitar playing, then I realized I was going nowhere. So instead, I sought to develop a style which would make Stevie…
With a little help from some of the lyrics of the Doors descriptions of the uncertainty of the 60's Reg has decided to do a kind of Punk song from both sides about the trouble in England which seems to be igniting the youth to set light and loot…
Reg heard this collab (Quarter of a 60th Djörk (M.T.C.) and thought it brilliant, the music made it so easy to put the words to, a story of holiday romance.......with a bit of Tom Jonesing going on..........Thanks Djork and M.T.C for letting…
I heard MTC's track Rusty nail and just had to add a vocal Thanks Movement for letting me play.......

An EVH-inspired instrumental. I couldn't come up with a fancier name, so Boogie Train it is! This is straight up Hard Rock 80s style. No dabbling in other genres to mess up this song. Heh. Leave some comments if you please. Believe it or not…
The best music is always created in a burst of emotion, when the passion is still hot and your heart burns with fire. I finished this song in just one night, in my frantic attempt to capture the emotions I felt then.
"The only shelter I had…
Thank you Steve Cross for coming up with with the perfect drum and rhythm track. This guy did it exactly according to my specifications.
As for the song itself, it's different music. You need a certain level of musical talent to comprehend…
I've given this a bit of a twist ....Big E sat on the settee bored so i got him to work..hope you enjoy...another for the John Lennon Jukebox on the otherside....
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 :)

I'm not ignoring you Gene, can't sign in.... again, waiting for it to be sorted out. Roger M Harris.

I remember this from the old *EZFolk* days. Still good.

Yeah. Rock on! What a choice guitarist you are -- there are guitar players, and then there are guitarists. You are clearly the latter.
Are your hands made of Jello?! How in the hell?! Amazing -- I'm floored.
Yeah, dig! This seems a different style for you, and it really works for me. Your vocals are clear and clean and coming across quite nicely. I like it! Rock on!
Just listen to it going the other direction -- sounds good being launched into the sky too!
I like it in this direction -- I'm downloading it so I can hear if I like it going in the opposite direction. Rock on!

Well this is a trip!
Dark, cold, lonely, lost, haunting, the sounds I imagine echoing the realm on the other side of death.

Digging your picking style -- sweet!
Get down! A fun listen -- definitive grooviness! Party on!
Works for me!
Totally groovy!
Digging the heck out of this one -- fabulous!
This one is particularly tasty -- it grooves together nicely. Rock on!
Yes, I love it -- Rock on!
You have an interesting approach to doing vocal tracks -- certainly out of the box. Your instrumental tracks are quite tasty.
The vocal track peaks in a few places, but otherwise it's a beautiful mix down.
Already left my thoughts as Justin Otter (just another guy) Guy, but had to come back as Gene Eric Mann (generic man) for another listen.
