Description : This song was originally written by Bear but never posted…he asked me if I could finish it so, I did. Bear is on rhythm guitars, drum loops, pads, wrote the original bass line (which I redid with my Ibanez bass), keys. I added vocals, lead guitar, bass and mastered. Always a pleasure working with Bear because his songs are just so darn good.

hey Mark....sorry...forgot to reply to your comments on adding an ending part,,,,my head has moved on to other things...but if you are inclined to add a synth melody bit please feel free....If you want the rhythm backing I can render off a couple of the chorus guitar parts etc for backing if you want....glad you liked it enough to feel inclined to keep it rolling....Ed
o.k. boys...this one goes to the top of my charts....Mark, did you tame that LP a bit to get that nice warm singy stuff going on....contrasts perfectly with the rhythn parts...Great work (as always...on the vocal too)..I was just about to pack it in for the night when I caught up with this one....great way to end the day....and a great bit of music from 2 accomplished musicians........Ed
Of course the original wasn't bad :-) but the final result is outstanding. You brought your best melody lines (for me) here...guitar is sharp as it has to be...acoustic rhythms from Bear are bloody groovy...love this track!!!
Mark, once again you prove your skills as a musician, singer, arranger, and producer. You took something that was really raw and turned it into something really special. Thanks for all of the hard work bro. It means a lot to have you take these songs and make them into something really special. Awesome work. On to the next, haha. Hope all is well.
I like the main chord progression the song has, it is easy to like. As well as the vocals, something familiar about them I like. They sound like Graham Parker a bit, he has a great voice I think. Your delivery is clean and the words are easily understandable.
I like this kind of rock, rhythm based with some great melodies along side a cranking lead. Cool bass, liked the acoustic guitar a lot, just the right amount of each guitar and mixed well. The song is quite catchy, I gave it a few listens and plan to dl this one. Once again you guys hit the mark with this track!
Great job Bear and Mark for putting this together and thanks for sharing Guys!

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
