Mythical D [Original Acoustic + Covers, Solo Artist]
1. Changes Come [Blues]Artist's comments: A bit of blues - in G for a change. Lyrics scribbled quickly and a tad angrily on a day when changes to everything good seemed to be for the worst. First recorded outing for my new Stratocaster 'Celine' hand-crafted by my buddy Al. She's temperamental and doesn't like playing chords, so on here I used my Vintage acoustic with Seymour Duncan woody pick-up for the main guitar track, my Telecaster for the strum-track and Celine for the solo-ing. 2 hours of angry fun, if such a thing can be hadFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 150.266k VBR, Time: 4:18, Size: 4.623 MiBAdd to Player »
2. Mum's Waltz [Big Band / Jazz]Artist's comments: Not many of us are lucky enough to still have our Mums at 90 years of age. When I was growing up, the big band music Mum and Dad did their ballroom dancing to made an impact on me as much as the rock and roll that my elder brother Ray was playing in his room. For Mum's 90th, I wanted to do something different and so came up with this waltz for her.Format: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 166.894k VBR, Time: 2:32, Size: 3.024 MiBAdd to Player »
3. Reggaemia [Reggae]Artist's comments: just a bit of fun fooling around whilst pondering bigger thingsFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 184.108k VBR, Time: 2:54, Size: 3.830 MiBAdd to Player »
4. I Think of You [The Merseybeats] [50s, 60s and 70s classic gold]Artist's comments: Pure nostalgia and my attempt at recreating a song I grew up lovingFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 2:48, Size: 2.569 MiBAdd to Player »
5. Sacred [Rock]Artist's comments: my newest recording - August 2020. One of my angry songs of infidelity that we tried to use for the Clarion Call project but it didn't sit right. Still needs a decent vocal but I am quite proud of this one - I even tried some basic keyboards and the "whooooahs" tried the patience of the neighbour, I shouldn't wonderFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 165.452k VBR, Time: 3:48, Size: 4.506 MiBAdd to Player »
6. World in a Field [Original Roots]Artist's comments: The last of my previously unrecorded songs - this one from 1983. I still have the original idea on a cassette and this puts it to bed once and for all. Onward...Format: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 161.068k VBR, Time: 3:57, Size: 4.563 MiBAdd to Player »
7. Breathing Denied [Progressive Rock]Artist's comments: The most ambitious thing I ever did, finally coming to me in late 2020. 14 tracks, all me, my best drumming to date, a cheap mini-keyboard through a processor and the usual vocal inadequacies. I had the keyboard riff in my head for 30+ years and did nothing with it until now. Very happy - onwardsFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 166.883k VBR, Time: 6:10, Size: 7.371 MiBAdd to Player »
8. Sad [Rock]Artist's comments: Probably the last of my really old and early songwriting attempts - circa 1984 and re-recorded in 2020 using Audacity software for the first time. New settings, balancing, mixing etc - challenging but everybody else seems to manage it so time to drag myself out of the past and do some new stuff. Had fun doing this in lock-down, though - and that eternal wait for an empty house and the manic set-up to attempt some kind of vocal.Format: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 197.672k VBR, Time: 3:54, Size: 5.536 MiBAdd to Player »
9. Often Lost [Rock]Artist's comments: Another new take on one of my really old / first songs. Thanks to me pal, me Tone for the harmony guitar solosFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 189.792k VBR, Time: 3:06, Size: 4.215 MiBAdd to Player »
10. Storm in a C Cup [Acoustic]Artist's comments: A bit of fun in the chord of C - well, as much fun as anyone is having at the momentFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 192k, Time: 1:54, Size: 2.621 MiBAdd to Player »
11. All That You See [Rocky Pop]Artist's comments: This may just be my favourite thing... a few nods to all my influences and loves and an ode to trying to find some joy in unexpected places.Format: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 4:34, Size: 4.184 MiBAdd to Player »
12. Dream Theme [Instrumental Rock]Artist's comments: Definitely woke up with this in my head. Kind of a Bauhaus/80s bassline gothic thing going on. Fun to doFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 2:17, Size: 2.101 MiBAdd to Player »
13. Shirts [Original Roots]Artist's comments: For Mum and DadFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 4:32, Size: 4.156 MiBAdd to Player »
14. Go Kick the Yogic [Instrumental]Artist's comments: My most recent noodle. For you, if you are out there and still 'get it'Format: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 3:07, Size: 2.862 MiBAdd to Player »
15. Small Corners [Instrumental]Artist's comments: Just a 'nice' little harmony piece - easy to do and hopefully to listen toFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 1:25, Size: 1.302 MiBAdd to Player »
16. Eyes of a Killer [Pop/Rock]Artist's comments: Not the most pleasant title and frankly, I can't remember where those lyrics came from or what they mean, but here it is - I like this one, nice poppy chorus and 50s crooning. I edited/faded out the tedious solo at the end :-)Format: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 3:06, Size: 2.844 MiBAdd to Player »
17. Thaw [Instrumental]Artist's comments: Another 'thrown-together' piece. If I tried to find the chords again, I'd be struggling but it was 'of the moment' so all's goodFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 2:34, Size: 2.363 MiBAdd to Player »
18. Sailor Man [Rock/Blues]Artist's comments: Thanks to my old buddy and axe-man Nigel P for this one. An idea from long ago given my own spin and my trusty 'solo in 'A'Format: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 4:12, Size: 3.850 MiBAdd to Player »
19. Silent Night [Trad Unknown] [Traditional]Artist's comments: My end-of-year challenge to self to use every instrument I own and some multi-part harmonies to recreate my favourite piece of seasonal musicFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 163.011k VBR, Time: 3:08, Size: 3.672 MiBAdd to Player »
20. Middle East, Far East [Instrumental]Artist's comments: An almost ancient bit of noodling dating back to my earliest attempts on a guitar. Re-recorded a couple of years back in dulcet digitalFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 1:52, Size: 1.713 MiBAdd to Player »
21. You Hold Me There [Heavy Rock]Artist's comments: Using my one solo to good effect, hopefully. A big whopper of an ending to one of my old efforts in Eminor7 - or something. I will get round to re-doing the drums all proper, likeFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 4:03, Size: 3.719 MiBAdd to Player »

23. Treasures (Feat Light Touch) [Various]Artist's comments: I recorded and produced an album for these fabulous Ladies and hijacked them to bring life back to an old song that was laying in my archives - I am so pleased with what we achievedFormat: 44.1kHz stereo, bit rate: 128k, Time: 3:23, Size: 3.108 MiBAdd to Player »
