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.
Previously unreleased cover of Gary Jules's rendition of Mad World, originally by Tears for Fears. Features Buyer Beware's former multi-instrumentalist, Kollin Cederberg.
The final RPM Challenge/FAWM song for 2015! I'm done! Garageband has this running at 66bpm in 6/8 time. It probably should be 132bpm in 3/4, but you live with what you have, right? I didn't really plan on saving this for last as it was one…

he’s hiding in plain sight
sends a message, don’t bother
drive away, refuse to fight
and try to be the father
left alone with the radio
and wipe away my tears
weakness reveals…
everyone says I cant sing. I can its just im not very good.
its not about whether I can so much as whether I should.
but I do! yeah I will.. strangle that cat anyhoo
people say I cant, I can.. im just not very good.

This is just me jamming along an excellent, groovy SKA base provided by other Wikiloops user. The music made me envision something like the credits from a colorful 80's program, maybe a musical program or a comedy with still images of the chapter…
"Fake Evil' was a working title that ended up becoming the real title - the reasoning was that the music was too over-the-top to actually be ominous. The vocals are bits of "Microwave" run backwards, put through a heavy amount of echo and reverb…
I use Cool Edit Pro 2.1 to record and mix down. It has a delay feature called "premonition" that puts the echo before the source. Anyway, this recording is FAR OUT! I like the results of your process. Very groovy.
For whatever reason, I was testing my microphone with the television going on in the background, and a bit of clearly audible dialogue ("all right, get in line") ended up at the end of my test recording. I don't believe in mistakes, especially…
An unlicensed Castlevania knockoff rush-released in 1986, Demon Fate Nosferatu Castle is now chiefly remembered for its extremely repetitive soundtrack, a short theme that would be looped continuously throughout gameplay. An urban legend had it…
I adored the music to Castlevania IV. But it was the only one in the series I played, so I didn't recognize this track. But I would really enjoy hearing the music of IV again. Are you familiar with any of that?

vocal by Madeline Koestner
she tries to push me away
nothing that i can do
so hard just to maintain
and keep my mind focused
to not let my eyes betray
i’m watching her slide away
into the abyss, call it nothing
call it nothing…

vocals by David George
you said it a thousand times before
i know, i know, i know
as if you thought i wasn’t listening
anymore
if i could i would ease your sorrow and your pain
so you won’t ever have to say these things again…

is it the medication
that makes her stare off into space?
those little pills in the bottle
grab your collar
smack you in the face

Have you seen the movie The Theory of Everything? I highly recommend it in a "I hate these damn movies that make me ball my eyes out" kind of way. The lyric to this song is sort of inspired by Dr Hawking's diagnosis. He's given two years to…
He was diagnosed at 21, told he had 2 years left -- 3 years at most -- and now he's 73! Glad the story inspired you. Good topic for a song. Good lyrics, good music, and the vocals does it all great justice, sung with feeling.
JESSE JAMES performed by the late Danville Dan (Frank Koehl) (rhythm guitar, main vocals) and also posthumously featuring his son, Gene Eric Mann (Rick Koehl)(chorus vocals) and his grandson, Robster the Rock Lobster (Robert W.D. Koehl)(chorus…
ROBSTER -- thanks so much for adding your voice and stand-up bass to this recording. It means a lot to me. While Dad was alive I picked a lot with him, and I've picked a lot with you son, but I don't recall the three of us ever playing together, but now we have this. Too groovy!
There are some intriguing sounds happening in this one. Arousing vibes for one's ears. Curiously delicious arrangement of chords and an interesting melody over that. This composition is, for me at least, quite fascinating, and definitely my favorite of all I've heard from you so far. Rock on!
I'm thrilled that, not only are you broad-minded and willing to explore and record in several genres, you are also very good at it! This is very tasteful electronica. I totally adore a rare amount of electronica, because, in my opinion, so few truly do it right. You are one of those artist that can do this genre with soul and justice. Groovy!
This song has been the biggest mess of the month. It was the second idea I had, the first that wasn't dropped. I have fought with it more than any other song I've ever recorded. The drum parts have been recorded twice. They rhythm guitars have…
I personally believe this to be your best February contribution. Good lyrics, nice rifts, vocals are slick and smooth, and talk about a choice, juicy lead break!
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.
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.
Comments made by Gene Eric Mann
A really fabulous cover! I like it better than the original. Rock on!
Great topic for a song! Good lyrics, kick ass guitar. Rock on!
This was fun -- I'm glad I caught it. I guess I should click to follow you so I don't miss the next one!
Epic! Massive guitar attack, fabulous vocal delivery. Great job, y'all!
Being a HUGE fan of NASA and space exploration, I really, truly love this!

I'm enjoying Madeline's vocals -- she's delivers quite skillfully and with great taste.
David did a great job on this number. Again, kicking drums and a juicy guitar rift. Rock on!
Rock on! Juicy sounds. Digging Gregg. Interesting lyrics. Love that guitar and the drums are kicking!
