excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..

This is a cover of Richard Wright's original "night of a thousand furry toys" that i made a couple of years ago. all work, voices, instruments and recording by myself :0)
original lyrics and music: Richard Wright
Great cover - very professional - frankly, as enjoyable as the original.
@Guest: sounds Floyd like for a very good reason, as this is a Richard Wright song.
Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
Ha! Epic Vaisvil ax work! I was too ignorant to realize that my headset metronome was getting picked up by the mic at the very end, at which time I was following Vaisvil's excellent suggestion of attempting some microphone/gong manipulation in which the mic was hand held, rotating it about an inch above the face of a simmering 32" gong. Wild stuff!
Something I did last year - A song about the crazy college days (Or Uni where applicable :) )

From an out of print, self-released CD I put out in 2006 (titled "The Old Stone Bridge" - not the same one as the Old Stone Bridge tracks I've released…
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!

On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand

It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
For those who keep track of such things - RW songs featuring negative telephone experiences:
Phonus Interuptus (Open Mic Blues)
Only One Button Left to Push

It sounds to me like you need to talk this out - I'll give you a call. (Perhaps we all should)

This is the first cover song I've ever really recorded in my 15 years of playing and recording.
The guitar and voice are each full continuous takes, I didn't want to do comping (copy and pasting), though the vocal harmony parts were done in…
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
Comments on Norm's stuff
that drumhall effect is amazing. . . I thought the first mix was great so i am even more blown away by this! That is superb norm!
Holy smokes, bro - Lexiwhat?? I'm such a reverbtard so I always stay away from it, but you really did well here. And I love the new mix and the changes you made. Downloaded and the PiePod has been updated!
Lovely!!!
that lexicon added a 3rd dimension to the track! magical piece..
I posted a remix today which adds Lexicon "Drum Hall" reverb and a bit of compression.
grooooove on!! you rolls rock and congas coming in at 01'38" is right on..
I have posted a new mix processed via a Lexicon MX200 to add "drum plate" reverb and a bit of compression.
dem is sum ill beats dog.
Great cover of a classic!
:) great stuff fellas.
EXCELLENT, WONDERFUL! LOVE THIS TRACK! w;-)
I first heard this song about 7 months ago, and I gotta say Norm, you really added value to it. Amazing!
NORM!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no Idea How Happy I am !!!!! THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome, like vanilla ice cream awesome. More three way collabs!!!!!
excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..
Most sympathetic and gorgeous. What I like about it is you haven't tried to compete, just complete and the outcome is wonderful.
How on earth do you make your drums sing like that? Understated, melodic, compulsive. I think you are brilliant!
BRILLIANT. I enjoyed every second...except the one after it ended. ;)
Nice collab Norm! I'm about half way done with mine with a couple of your tracks, can't wait to share it!
Sweet heavens this is fantastic. Sheeeeit thats so good.

Yes, I agree with the others. Very nice!

Yep. Had my first snake-bite black yesterday. All because of this song.
Exotic. Very nice.
Is it even possible to beat the SM57 as the world's best all-around mic? Nice tune. All of your stuff is lovely.
@RW: Ha! Thanks, but that's a bold faced lie - I've never missed a pheasant.
Good luck with the LP! I'm certain it will be fantastic... please keep us updated!
Wow! This is a good one! All you cider drinkers from across the pond... I think you have the right idea! I'm off to the shop for a Hornsby's now.
Great vox/lyrics, as usual.
Still rockin' and tremendous fun!
Ha! Do you play in the house band at your pub in Cornwall? That's starting to sound like the world's best job to me...

Strong work.
Priceless! I *so* relate to this. Great voice work by both you and Daisy...
Well done!
Totally pro. Nice cover.
Those hang drums are tough to get your hands on. Sounds great, hangman!
Props not only for the production, playing and singing, but for sending one out to your mom - class act.
Where, exactly, is that fast-forward button located? Man, I could use that on some of the conversations I suffer through everyday...
