hey,
back in the day, before i was tempted by the evil-goodness that is computer music, i played in a bona fide rock band with real guitars, drums and feedback (and that aweful ringing in your ears that you get after a late gig at the Bull & Gate on a school night!!)....
i recently decided to try and do a rock track again, and although i did have to use sampled drums, i managed to stay clear of soft synths, sequencers etc...anyway here's the result...give it a listen if you have a spare couple of minutes.....
cheers

Blimey! That's rather good! Some bits of pop genius in there. Capn Mark, you've got competition in the production department!

cheers Mr Tugger

by the way is that Boss Lovin Dr a Designers Republic reference??

Errr, no, it refers to Boss cider (some super strength nastiness brewed in Leeds!), it's short for Boss loving drunken revolutionary. f**k knows how I ever deserved that!

Test results:

Wow ... This is a really good song... I like it a lot.

Though I'm sure I heard a synth in the left speaker at 1:52-2:00

that was some backwards guitar!

Cool tune, really like the change of pace at approx 1min and then again at 2min. Really good (what a crap word) arrangement all through

fantastic vocals.... can't sing to save my life so always in awe of people who can

Definately going in my "keep folder"

wow, this is excellent
both the songwriting
and production (not to mention guitar playing and singing)
I've only got one word for somebody that does
something this good, usually reserved for donkey tugger
f**ker!


(meant in a good way)

I liked it. Some of the sounds put me in a nostalgic Adrian Belew state of mind (when he was concentrating on song-writing).

If you jimmy around with that url you can get a lot of great tunes by this guy. I burned them all to CD about an hour ago. Great stuff.

wow, no kidding!

tasty stuff..

Wow, there is definately a trend going around k-v-r, or is it in music in general? A return to the guitar. Months ago fter a hiatus of many years i picked mine back up and even bought a new one. I was so impressed by Amplitube that I have been developing a whole stack of presets for it. see this thread:

Anyway, does anyone around here think the guitar is making a comeback?
