Song Update - The Perfect Way
This song has now been renamed from "More Together" to "The perfect way". Added Scotts vocals. Maybe to many effects on the vocals, sounds a bit darthy. Eastern descender riff now repeats in verse 2. Fiddled with compression an the bass to bring down the chorus level.

Song Update - More Together v2
Drastically shortened the intro. Added a new chorus with a twangy guitar. Song now a lot shorter. Maybe need to ditch last chorus and have a bridge instead. I think I need to sort the levels out maybe bring up the twang and lower the bass in the chorus. I think the last verse with the twang guitar could just be a solo part. Also I think the 2nd verse needs the same descending eastern meloday as heard in the 1st.

Took out the slow bit in the middle. Solo thats replaced has been reversed but it sounds just dreadful anyhow. Need to completely re-record the solo. Song been renamed from Downstrokes to Midnight Show.

Song Update - Downstrokes v2
New break after 1st Chorus and of course new Vocals. Break down in middle needs to be redone.
Song - Chips 'n' Gravy v1
Inspired by the likes of the White Stripes and The Eagles of Death Metal, this is a simple ,bluesey, raw sounding song with some intresting percussion.
Song - What's to come v3
Due to problems with my Odeo account there's been a build up of new songs that I can now publish therefore there are a lot of new ones today. This is the 3rd Version of "What's to come", the other 2 were never uploaded. This is identical to the 2nd version just a better mix. The main differences between version 1 and 2 were the drums. It may well be that we revert back to those old drums.

Song - The Multiverse Song v1
Stab at an elektro type tune. 1st use of the highly recommended EZ drummer and it's latin percussion library. I really need to add some variation in all drum patterns, and convince Scott lay down some vocals.

Song Update - Princess Alexandra v2
R-recorded vocals and guitar, added a second layer of guitar, panned both slightly. Used a slightly punchier drum kit. 2nd verse string synth is louder probably too loud ?!!? The break after 2nd chorus is now only Scott's guitar, this is a part we can't decide on. Added more drum fills. Also re-recorded bass now in tune ;) and altered melody slightly to fit G major scale.
