aint no mercy in the desert...this is rock at it's best. That harmonica playing allll soul. The chorus is catchy. Good hook.
So much to listen to on this site is an understatement, 10,000 tracks! That would take a month of constant playing to listen to. whoa. hehe. How many hours is that?? I'll do the math later.
Have been having a listen through your rpm09 album. it sounds great - i love the BVs on this track for instance. classy.
Anyway, I'll have more of a listen this week.
A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…
This is really good stuff. Songwriting firmly placed in late 70's art rock/pop, which is a very good place to be, if you ask me. Contemporary, skilled production makes for a tasty sound palette and a very enjoyable listening experience. Bravo!
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
Update: Paul took the first version and made it even better. So impressed with his talents. Thanks everyone for your kind words on the original. I know you'll like this version even more!
I was listening to some of Paul Lennon's great…
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…
Fine lyrics! Interesting mixing technique to have the lead vocals panned to the far right in some parts and then have the overdubbing add a contrasting stereo effect by being panned to the far left! I might steal that some time! ;)
Jim Goodin and my MrGold & MrMudd project, album for the RPM Challenge, Neutrino's Tale.
Recorded free jam entirely over the internet using ninjam, Brooklyn to Fort Worth.
These jam numbers are great! Enjoyed them immensly. But I don't know why Alonetone figures they'll be 2 hrs long each? Are you using some exotic sample rate or other? Anyway, surely a pleasurable listen! Great thing to jam on the interweb! Thank you!
Ending on a lighter note, an upbeat blues, nice! You should play more harminica! I really like the new album, Colin. Solid work, and it comes through really well. Sounds are well thought out and defined. Top notch, be proud!
Strong finish to a great album. Amazing songwriting coupled with true talent to bring the musical vision alive. Even the production is remarkably well handled. Thanks for a great listen!
Oh yes! So many good things about this one. From the intro melody through to the comeback chorus at the end it's so sweet and succulent it keeps pulling me back again for another listen. One of the absolute highlights of RPM 2013, must be.

CIVIL WAR
Holding down the borders
What's mine is yours
Folding down the corners
Of pages meaning more
Walking on the wire
Never thought to look for…

Nice mate enjoyed it, their is so much to listen to sorry it took so long to discover you.
Really nice- great sounding production!
A jaunty tune.
Nice!
Great hook! Love that sweeping guitar(?) effect between each line in the chorus (yeah, there's probably a technical term for that...ahem).
Just wonderful. Love the feeling.
Excellent! Like the additions you made since the first demo. Great album dude!
This is one very pleasant album - cheers :)

You can tell that you had fun doing this. Great job!
Nice job with the song, production rocks!

Fat finger typo on the title? ;) Again, a solid groove, a little hint of steppenwolf.
Oh - reached the solo part... Riveting!
Excellent early Floyd type groove and vocal arrangements.
Big sounding. Nice overdrive on the voice track!
Ah - you really know how to spin a ballad! Great song.
Nice flow and chorus!
Really nice vocals on this one! Too!
Meaty and full of heart! Kidney pie? ;)
Love the energy and the late 60's prog groove! Well done!

Riveting, ringing true. Great, great vocals.

Beautiful track!
Thanks for the opportunity to collab, Keith. Great job with the vocals, Andrea, love it!
