Yes, I was at a concert in '92 or '93. A strange event, where the Kinks also performed, along with the Stereo MCs and others - kind of a crude mix, but cool. I have to admit, though, that I didn't get too much of the concert because I was there with my (then) brand new flame, who I've been with for over thirty years now. I had my priorities then, if you understand...
Cheers,

Well there ya go, a great memory for sure!! Great decision Micky!
Must confess. I think I like Father Christmas as one of my favs by them, I like the song first off but I like the production on that more. Every little nuance in that song is great, the singing, the story, the guitars, the breaks....
I'm now thinking I might make a latin/funk version (maybe lounge jazz :D ) which I think would also be fun... but I've already got 3 songs in scaffolding that I should finish first, so let's not ;)
Again, good job man!
Hey Wayne, one of my favorite Kinks numbers, although I can't really think of a bad one. Well implemented. I think it's great that your vocals get that super reverb at certain points. Great guitar work, I had a chance to see Kinks live once....Dave Davies is great, but you do it just as well!
Big Kinks fan here, they were more of a raw 60's rock band and such great songwriting. Their music was for the common working man, it was distorted guitars and wonderful stories to be enjoyed. I liked both Ray and Dave's input and songwriting in their music.
Yeah, it's close but not quite the same as the original. Easy song to play, more about tones on the guitar and bass and the sound of the drums, try to make them punchy and more period sounding.
As soon as I heard the intro I thought you know this song! And so it was. Nice cover version that left room for your own style of music. I'm too young to have actively witnessed this time. But you brought her close to me. Good old British Rock! Good work. Greetings Manuela
I was a child when these songs were already hits but I am a big fan of music history and all the bands that got us to where we are today. The Kinks are a pivotal part of the British invasion, great songwriting and producing. Always been a fan.
Hey Wayne, I love this song and you definitely did it justice! The arrangement is tight and snappy, like the Kinks original. Well played with your trademark, stripped-down, in-your-face production style. Also, I'm so happy you're continuing to experiment with theremin. It suited this song really well. Great stuff my man!
This is such a classic! & one I have never really been a huge fan of but always liked the guitar in it. I think your version here sounded real good! tho & you have absolutely done it justice indeed. Your vocals suit the song, so well done! on this. WTG!

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).
Description : This is the 2nd cover of Big Audio Dynamite i done With my freind John. We both fan of the band so we decided to do a challenge and produce a serie of covers. we done 4 in one month. each track got it proper video check my youtube channel indiegroundvid

Better to be backed up than to have a writer's cramp, he.
Good luck and thanks!
