Nice production,at first I thought the vocals were too far right panned.Then the whole began to unfold and all fell into place. The rhythm track took off just right on the two and four and damn if the whistle didn't drop in just right.
Nicely done all. Yankee
Terrible recording due to my old studio set up dying, but a nice keepsake of just how bad things became before the rebuild.
Lyrics by Brent Kinder.
With piano by Igor Alexeev.
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.
Two hours before morning light
Highway signs go by all night
Open window to catch the breeze
Helps me clear my cluttered mind
Road noise rumbling through the floor
Been on this road once or twice before
My mind is racing up ahead
Leaving…
Geas put this beauty of a classic up with the offer of exercising your vocals and i couldn't resist. thanks Geas for the chance to give it a go........
i've used the same chord progression as i have eyes but speeded it up quite a bit....Hope you enjoy!!
LET IT LOOSE
you don’t know me and i don’t know you
so lets get together and stop feeling blue
lets shake it out and lets get this thing…
i got caught speeding in my car by one of those eyes in the sky and it got me thinking...... about the world we are living in and what its becoming.....or is that become?
I got eyes.....
They tell us that were safe in our homes
then they…
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.
There is no reverb on any vox parts in this one. I loved how I was able to get the tone of the voices to have that mid-60s sound. This was aided by the fact I am running through an emulation of the Abbey Road mixing desk. ;)
No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!
As you may have picked up on, there's a lot this year about soldiering on when your world has been destroyed. So, this is a song of hope. Have faith, have faith...
This one was a hard one to nail. The Wurlitzer riff was something I accidentally played and fell in love with immediately, so I needed to write a song that enhanced the mood that the tone of the Wurly evoked. The sound is so empty and spacious…

Lovely sound and beautiful vocals. I especially liked where it sounded like you were self-harmonizing.
Aww, Tess. So good to hear you again. Delightful!
Excellent! Great hearing from you again!

Nice one
Perfection! - but we all do not expect less for you and your collaborators Tess!
Lovely song, perfect music and beautifully sung. I'll give it 11. Ma x

Hey, Tess, checkin' in... any new music on the horizon?
Standout great track :)
Really expressive lead guitar
wow! Great counterpoints. There is the urgent riff then the much longer sounds in back. Brilliant composition
I am slightly reminded of Kate Bush now :) Does everybody in Cornwall have such a wise and beautiful soul?
This one slightly reminds me of San Jacinto by Peter Gabriel :) Your music is sophisticated and accomplished. Brilliant!

Great big fat full rocking sound. Love that guitar break!
Dreamy...folky...downloaded.
Utter class. Wow, I'm glad I found your stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Cool vocal tone.
Ooh. This is glorious!
Beautifully done.
Awesome blend.
Fab!
Infectiously flirty!
Deliciously paranoid.
Dizzying!
Paul - I layered my vox over Wrink's track.
Great tones! Sounds like an interpretative dance score.
Cool synthy take on a classic. (Wanna hear some JS originals too. I still have your Whispers album.)
Still perfect. Melody, lyrics, Colin...beautiful.
Amazing, Mr Fox. An album of STANDOUTS.
Digging the looseness! This one is pretty frisky...
Can you do one called The Sunshine of Cornish Life next? :) Very slick track.
Fabulous arrangement - love the closing credits feel.
Wow... Gorgeous vox... Anthemic heartbreak!
