I posted a version of this before. This is the same pretty much except that I put down a real, organic, bass track using my Squier Mustang bass, rather than the old synthetic one. The production is a bit ballsier too...

Jean Jaques Burnel is one of my bass heroes. This song is the second I recorded with the new Squier bass. I kept the other instruments secondary to show off the bass

Bought a new bass guitar and wanted to try it out, so made this last night. Gotta say the bass parts were easy, the guitar took ages to get right though. Now my fingers are sore.

Another song I recorded last year with the new kit.
This is a cold war relic (written just months before the fall of the Berlin Wall) which deals with the difficult issues of Paranoia, Hysteria, Alienation and the power of the Press. Get out…

More like a cover of the bauhaus cover of Bowie's song.
Recorded last night in under two hours from starting programming the drums to posting. Recorded for songcrafters.org's Bowie Fest.

Song about a misplaced lettuce.
First upload of my jazz recordings, again from the ninties. It's an instrumental.
It's called Lost Little Gem only because I totally forgot about it until a year ago or so when I was going through some old…
Song from mid ninties, for the Trawler tapes collection. I do plan to make a new version of this when I get around to it.
The YouTube vid is rudimentary

Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.
Jim did the Lyrics in 5 mins over the net..

Track #3 from the "Someone Else's Hell" album.
Lyrics:
Familiarity breeds contempt
I'm tired of everybody thinking they know me
It's time for a change of pace my friend
A new scene to set on fire again

First track I produced on my DAW...just tryin' to get the feel of thing at the time (no manual...well...a manual, but it's in Japanese...so same thing). Anyway, it's pretty simple...programmed a drum track, threw down a fretless dub line...threw…
This has probably the least effert i've ever put into a song , i was sat at my computer falling asleep , when i had the urge to sing this beautiful George Harrison song , i could'nt be asked to get up and change guitars , so using my PRS Singlecut…

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
this is the first track of my 1st solo album "flying solo" don't want to swamp the place with all mystuff so will upload them gradually
written on september the 3rd 2010 this is what i said about the song at the time.....
was saddened to hear…
I wish I could do quiet songs. Can't do it, everyone always ends up loud. It's a skill you obviously have though, Jim, this is just dreamy, I feel like lazy summer is already here...
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
Thanks for the comments everyone. You're right,this is done with love and respect, Joy Division are one of my big influences, especially going to university Manchester (actually Salford) in the Eighties.
It's a cover of the Boston song, More than a Feeling. In a sort of euphoric house style. Which isn't my normal style by any means.
It's not a song which has been a big part of my life, I heard it in the Men Who Stare at Goats film and could…

good jog
I dig!
love the bass! cheers!
oh yeah man, that bass is delicious. Great track. I like the vocals....this rocks.
:)
Nice!
I like this , great backing guitars , good drums , excellent mate
Immaculate! Great vox, the new bass sounds really terrific, and you've nailed the guitar and bass line just as I remember them.
Frisky fruitfulness!
This has got balls and I like it very much!
Nice sound -- can't go wrong with ODH interpreting Bahaus interpreting Bowie :)
Different cover then what i usually hear. nonetheless your voice is oddly/slightly similar to David Bowie.
So glad you found this quirky little gem!
Brilliant! Love the music - everything comes together wonderfully!
Cool vibes!

I enjoyed it. Like the bass and the subtle building on the arrangement. Not at all boring.
Really pleased I came across your stuff. You're my new favorite band...
I love the vibe and intensity. This is right up my 'street'.
Pink Floyd, Jan Hammer and Ennio Morricone - there's a supergroup I'd pay to see. Big sounds here, nice production
Something of the Dylan about it. Great mellow feel.
My kind of song. I think you're voice is good without the screaming too, has a kind a fragility which appeals. Good stuff...
Zombie, please, if you're offereing...
Nice pluckin'
Sehr gut, mag ich. Wicked
Great singing, nice cover
Lovely sounding instrument. Could use a flute accompaniment.
Moving piece. The shear weight of personal tragedy is overwheling and your music somehow seems to connect with it.
Beautiful
You've got a brilliant voice, very expressive. Loving the alt-country feel to your stuff.

New version uploaded. Fewer nits
Thanks for the comments everyone. I've got a better mixed version at home which I'm going to swap out for this one when I get a chance...
