Hi Richard.....another powerful track reminding us all of God's importance in all our lives. Its truly a heartfelt message and so necessary in these crazy times.....shout out to John as well for his efforts.....good work my friend.
Hi thank you so much for that, I really appreciate it. Im glad the track is connecting and sending out that reminder. We definitely need more of that message in these times. John's contribution really helped bring it all together. Always a pleasure working on something with such heart and purpose. Appreciate you, Glen
another good track guys, slightly different approach and a slower energy to it, but still a good track with you proclaiming your love, im happy you find your answers in praise and your a different act to have on LM which is always refreshing to me, you also don't try force it on others, that never works anyway you just do you and your a great muscian too, and its always nice to listen to something that you don't necessarily give time to as in my case, although i have a massive heart and im all about everyone in life, religion does not appeal to me, it has more blood on its hands and caused more wars than most things, my message is just treat everyone the way you would like to be treated yourself, i really don't think you can ask for much more, but i do like to listen to good muscians irrelevant of their message, that includes you and the guys you collab with
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! You're truly appreciated.
It means a lot that you took the time to listen to the track and share your perspective. I completely agreerespect and kindness really are at the heart of it all. For me, music is about building connections across all walks of life, and its so encouraging to know it can resonate even when the message might differ from personal beliefs. Im also grateful for the openness here on LM to explore different themes without pushing anything on others. Sharing these moments is truly fulfilling, and listeners like you who approach the art with an open heart make it all the more meaningful. Thank you again for your support!
Excellent music and lyrics once more. You really know how to use notes and words in order to express your feelings of gratitude and praise. It is so good to have your company in LM.
I wish you well, Anthony.
Im just doing my best in the best way I can. Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate your support, it means so much to me. Wishing you all the best
My Shekari Soother - Good morning to you. That chorus comingin at 29 seconds is so catchy. Your harmony is real tight and there is this little cute crackle just before the track starts - like somebody playing old vinyl. I had the image of a video, somebody putting on an LP on a Dansette record player then the camera pans in on the grooves and you and John appear singing on your verandah. Kay0s
I love your imagery of the old vinyl and the Dansette record player; it really captures the vibe we were going for. The crackle adds that nostalgic touch! Your vision of the video sounds amazing.
You have a wild and creatively imaginative mind that's unmatched. And yes, the effect at the beginning of the song is a mix of fire crackle sound effects with a faint sound of rain in the backdrop

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
Description : In the 1700's the Comanche Indians became known as the Lords of the Southern Plains. The Comanche ruled a region that stretched across New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and deep into the Texas Panhandle. The most feared and savage warriors of all the tribes of the old West.
Many believe their spirits still ride the night wind here.
