With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

My first attempt to work with loops I created using midi.
With Mr Sandbags (reichatron). There's a really cool version with guitar added by Mac somewhere too, but it's weirdly vanished! Will add as soon as I find it.

A quite 'straight ahead' rock feel to this at the beginning. The Rickenfaker bass has a lovely fat sound to it... Then it gets anthem-like from 2:45 onwards

Home from work for 9 days. How is everyone doing? Stay safe and have fun on this weird global time off! got a new FX peddle , super octave, that im using here instead of a bass guitar.
Enjoy! Reef
This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
This is bathed in reverb... probably too much! It's got a bit of a Southern Rock vibe at 1:00 to 1:45- then it has a big 'glow-stick Prog Rock' ending to it
This one came solely as the chorus melody and the basic hook "So I'll sing my song for Carolina" It's all I had for months, but I thought it was a good chorus line so I kept humming it to see if it would sprout further ideas. The mid section is…
This one started as the verse chords and some rambling vox melody. My demo of just gtr and me mumbling resulted in something vaguely Lennon-esque in delivery, so I kept that aspect and took it further for the mid section. The harmonies in the…
This one started as the piano piece. I was messing around and thought it had a vaguely Eddie Harris sounding vibe from Plug Me In (which is a killer record, absolutely killer). Anyway, I decided to develop it, since it sounds a little different…
A total gtr inspired tune. The riff came first and I knew it needed thunderous drums. The rest fell into place. I envisioned this one being very Top of The Pops on a Saturday in 1971, or Granada TV in summer of' 70, depending on your point of…
I have never written a song about the RPM Challenge itself, until now. Have we really been here for 15 years? It needed to be fun, it needed to be a great dance number. I had the gtr riff, and realized it would be even better as a horn line. The…
I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.

Comments on Sister Savage's stuff
sweet bass line and groove, superb vocals and melodies, nice mix, enjoyed from start to finish.
Nice! You have an interesting voice that suits the song very well.
So painful, so heart wrenchingly beautiful!
You two belong together! Sorry Matt!
This was the last one to be taken wasn't it? I know why now, it was waiting for you to save it.
Ooo ethereal or what. This is an awesome collab! You minxy little witch!
I didn't know you could write and sing like that. I was going to say she get's it from me, but she doesn't! He wasn't just good looking!
Superb musical composition, I'll speak to you later young lady!
Wonderful music and that voice! All silky smooth and creamy!
Wow!
You haven't told me about this one. A beautiful vocal to be sure. Ha nothing new there then. Love the rhythmic, whooshy music.
Great bass and as usual terrific vocals.
This is great . Super use of the Looper. This is Tess-tastic
You have the most glorious voice! Really cool song
really nicely done..
A Jetty on the Lake is by bjorn lynne. Thanks for your comment. the only original I have put up for awhile is pianos and guitars.
Excellent Track
Song is fanatic! really love the synths & and vocal progression....delay guitars are super cool!
Impressed and floating away on the vocals
love it! Haunting vocals and tasty lead guitar

Awesome full sound! (Looking forward to some of these with your fab vox!)
Amazing lyrics - an incredibly bittersweet tribute...
Love that bass riff! It deserved a track around it like a cloak.
Another beaut! This album is one of the best things to come out of Isolation 2020.
Cool stuff, Reef.
<3
Horray! It still works!!!!!!!!!!!! Lovely to hear you again, my friend. :) Hope this is the start of some fabulous new upload frenzy.
Here we go! Welcome to Alonetone, Matt! Love this track - breezy, open air feel - just what I need during this lockdown.
Watch out, the funk has landed and it *is* joyful!
That's three generations of us who love your stuff. Molly (13) is the latest.
Whole album - m a s t e r p i e c e.
Another one for the car playlist!
*flame in the air*
"The harmonies in the chorus were fun to record..." and absolutely wonderful to hear. Picking up your Lennon shades here too - very cool!
Great funky, loose groove. Love the cheeky percs in the bridge.
Love the way this one kind of slinks along. Sounds like an absolute classic on the first listen. Fantastic, Gary!
AMEN!
Still brilliant.
Wonderful song - awesome performance.
Hey, where did the video go? Giving this album a whirl again - still one of my faves.
