a very delightful, entertaining composition. Alice did a particularly tasteful job -- great delivery. Digging the sax job too. The drums are likewise well done. Some nice moves on the bass too. This really is a great compilation of sounds -- excellent flow.

This is an instrumental song I composed roundabout 7 years ago. Finally we got around to recording it with real instruments, and the band is:
Frank Zax: Guitars
Andy Gupta: Bass
Mark R. Cole: Drums:
Steffen Offermann: Synthesizers, Music…
Oh yes, like it a lot. I was thinking "very pleasant, where's it going to go? We've got another 3 minutes at least"... and then at about 50 seconds it told me.
I was sitting there taking it all in... and it finished before I knew it!
Fine job.

Thanks @JMT and @Wildgeas!
I just uploaded a new mix with Andreas Hülsen on drums. He used an electronic kit with the same samples that I had used in my version, so when he sent me the MIDI file, I was able to reproduce the original sound, just with the human feel of a real drummer playing the drums. :)
Angela Wehman wrote lyrics for and sang to my old tune "Winter In Moscow". This is work in progress (I want to replace the midi instruments with real ones and start from scratch).

Hi, Angela,
Joel, new here, and decided to comment. I like stuff like this. Sounds good. Evocative, I can't get rid of the bare branches and Gorky Park with stuff like this. I'm always a promoter of more dramatic stuff like it. I saw you mention the midi. I know these are all home setups, so it's hard to get anything. Somehow I would like to separate the voice from the low Russian register of the instrumental arrangement. Not sure how. I'd like to think somehow sing out. I would imagine that you are not much of a Soprano, but being a story teller, presiding over the background of a real orchestra, an impartial commentator of tragedy and triumph, like the beginning of Carmina Burana, or All That She Wants, by Ace of Base, clearly describing the scene. Reticent a bit, maybe. Bringing it out a bit could make it sing. Alice in Wonderland says "No personal comments", but, I guess what the heck. Saludos.
The drums in this version are electronic, but played by a human drummer.

THIS IS THE OLD YEURGH MIX - THERE IS ANOTHER ONE HIGHER UP THE LIST NOW, FULLY LOVED BY AR. THIS ONE IS LEFT HERE AS A MONUMENT TO SOMETHING OR OTHER (AND IN CASE YOU PREFER IT)
Acoustic ghost story. Recorded 2010.
Easter 2010 I decided…
Acoustic tale of revenge. Recorded 2010 on a Boss BR1600CD.
*****
**The Knife - A A J Russe**
A dark and star-less night
Probably driving rain
That's what they think became of me
A foolish walk along the cliff when he was drunk…
A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year.
I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…
Haven't listened to this wonderful song in a while although I have it on my mp3 player (like all your other songs too).
Great to hear this beauty again.
I couldn't get anything right today so I just mashed through a guitar track and overlayed vocals. But now I kind of like the song so it will have to be redone.
So sit back and relax, don't shower or shave and have a beer!
Swill A Beer
I sit…
One of my two contributions to a "Beatlesfest" we had over on songcrafters.org a few months back.
I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…
I usually do not listen to cover songs, but a cover done by one of my favorite musicians I could not resist. :)
Great adaption, Andy. Still I prefer your original songs by far.
Some people measure things by inches and miles,
gallons and quarts and sometimes smiles, but I got a measure that I made up: I measure my orange juice by the "blub, blub, blub.".
I had the music for this for about three months , and the lyrics for about a year , one day i just happened to start singing and playing them together and bingo , this is done live
This was written as part of a concept album inspired by the work of Pablo Picasso ,Trevor Lewis is a member of Songcrafters music forum , he came up with the idea of writing poems to 12 Picasso paintings , then put them out for people to put music…
When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.
Anything Done
How am I supposed to get anything done
With you looking like that
I'm so far gone
I'm forgetting where I'm at
How…
I did not sleep enough last night, and it's all your fault! I listened to all the songs of yours that I had downloaded to my mp3 player instead.
Great music and guitar playing.
I'm finally happy with this track - v1 was too much of a nothing song and it's been bugging me all the way to the last night of the challenge.

What Gene said. Major production.
Nice guitar licks, great vocals, good music. Choice bass line.

I love this, it's really, really good !
Nice one.
Smooth. Wish you had mixed the voices up more, tho.
Classy!
Oh yes, like it a lot. I was thinking "very pleasant, where's it going to go? We've got another 3 minutes at least"... and then at about 50 seconds it told me. I was sitting there taking it all in... and it finished before I knew it! Fine job.
Nice.

Most deserving of World recognition. Well done folks.
Love the guitar sound. "There will be people you wish you'd never met." Great big sound. Great production.
Cool song stoman.
Hi, Stoman. Joel, here. Like I was saying, I like the song. Apparently, this was a fav of angela740. Newby. Keep it up.

Impossible not to love this song. Definitely a song to be proud of.
Simply Great, Andy. You set the bar high.
BTW - I've just looped this songs three times. :D
Hey, I must have missed this one. Downloaded! :)
Haven't listened to this wonderful song in a while although I have it on my mp3 player (like all your other songs too). Great to hear this beauty again.
Pretty Song, Tharek. But where are all the great songs you posted at Songcrafters? Regards, Steffen
Pretty good for "I couldn't get anything right". ;)
Another proof that a good voice needs nothing more than a guitar or a piano.
Nice song with a very pleasant voice.
I usually do not listen to cover songs, but a cover done by one of my favorite musicians I could not resist. :) Great adaption, Andy. Still I prefer your original songs by far.
Great playing. Very moody!
Great funny stuff! :)
As great as simple. Wonderful composition and performance.
Soft and haunting. Great music!
I like this song even more then Geurnica - if that's possible. I could listen to your voice for hours.
I still love this song, Rob. And your voice is giving me goosebumps. Great job!
I did not sleep enough last night, and it's all your fault! I listened to all the songs of yours that I had downloaded to my mp3 player instead. Great music and guitar playing.
Great! :)
Finally happy ... and you have a good reason to be! Good old times folk. :)
This is a song ... of great quality! :)
