So here is a piece which I first wrote and recorded around 20 years ago in the early 90's. For a long time it had no title, just known as "bounces along keys". Lately I've been toying with the idea of rerecording it. Then a couple of weeks…

Love your style as always man, great job on this cover! Thanks for the comment as well! It's definitely good to be back on alonetone making music with my fellow musicians again :)
It's a cover of the Electric Light Orchestra song from the 70's, done for the Songcrafters.org 70's-fest.
At the risk of undermining my image as original 70's I-was-there punk, I was actually quite into ELO back in the day.
sup, odh, I like this and the 'Friends of Mine' cover, two bands I dig and think you do nice, personal covers of both. The swirling, subtle distortion in the far corners is lovely.
My humble tribute to Wilko Johnson, recently diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Wilko has always been a massive influence on my music and I will miss him when he's gone...
My recent fascination / obsession with the Devoto-era Buzzcocks is over. Here's an early Magazine song.
Was going to be done unplugged style - the guitar parts were originally guide parts to be replaced with acoustic parts. I got to like them…

Unplugged cover of the Beastie Boys track off of their first album.
Beastie Boys have always been a big influence on me, great to cover one of their songs.
Also in tribute to Adam

The song first came about at the back end of the 80's. I recorded the guitar and vocal for the songcrafters.org fest Live in the Living Room all in one take. Recently I added a bass part.
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..
And here it is..

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
// I need something to be…
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…

Comments on odh's stuff
Some catching ride.
As you say it bounces along very nicely.
cool one, ODH. Good melody, very angular type of song, love the synth and especially the piano track.
braw tell yer maw!
Love this....seriously good!
Great cover love the approach.....
Awesome job! You pulled of Curt Cobain quite nicely!
Love your style as always man, great job on this cover! Thanks for the comment as well! It's definitely good to be back on alonetone making music with my fellow musicians again :)
this a quite good - enjoyed
LOVE IT! Captures the vibe of the original and moves it on.
Unique take on that own. Nice choice.
Nice cover!
Good cover....

Nice tribute,here's to Wilko!
Really dig this.
yeah baby, braw tell yer maw. and well done that man.
Girls unplugged - love it Adam Rocked
Very enjoyable listen, Love the subject matter.
Hooked from the opening note through to the end. This track is the perfect payoff to the cool mood you've achieved on this album.
Comments made by odh
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...
