Great performance Mark. You pick some lovely chords out there. Nice mix but I'd like to hear more bass.

Nice and quirky - I agree with a previous comment re a clash with the vocal.

Thanks so much Lynn. We must be overdue a colab mate.....

There's some venom behind this song, I can tell. I hope you are well mate Very cool song and arrangement however, there are a lot of offbeat rhythms working against each other and no constant. Maybe simplify the piano to straight 1/8ths? Only my opinion - no offence meant as I really like the song. Love that muted trumpet ....

yeah this tom was from a weird drum sound set from Battery (Native Instruments) - I'm not sure what I was thinking. This song started very differently to how it ended up and that tom was a hanger on from the previous incarnation

Thanks so much Mark. Did Bapu pay you to mention the ringing tom thing lol? We had a 'disagreement' on it - he (and you) were probably right

went to listen but the link isn't working John

Hey Jesse Q - hope you are doing well mate. Fabulous mix on this - you can pick out every instrument clearly. There are pigs in our midst - may they never become bacon

LOVING this Bjorn. I also love the vibe of Indian music. You've created a great groove here. Hope you are keeping well mate

cool groove Larry - hope you are well

fab production Nigel - mix is spot on

super cool Bats. Hope you are well mate. I had the great pleasure of driving round the Monaco circuit while working for Lexus many moons ago. It was surreal

Cool Makke - Hank Marvin would enjoy this one

Very nice Kevin - I like the sparse instrumentation. Maybe dial back the reverb a tad ? There is a bit of a wash over everything

very cool FEC - I really enjoyed it. Vocals sound great mate

I enjoyed this - well done

Hi nice forum folk I hope you are all well. Here's a new song that Ed Kocol (Bapu) and I wrote and the fab James Griffiths (JamesG1213) played on. Baps also plays bass and the current Mrs Daryl1968 sings backing vocals. Nits and crits welcome - lyrics below link You Shaped Hole in My Heart Written by Ed Kocol and Daryl Greenway Guitar James Griffiths Bass Ed Kocol Vocals, keyboards etc by Staypress V1 Starting from nothing was what we had We never saw it as good or bad For better or worse, we gave it our all Just how could we fall? V2 Same old story we wouldn't last But all the glory is in the past It's you and me in heaven on earth We'll show them what we're worth Prechorus But I need to speak my mind I don't mean to be unkind Chorus i told you right from the start, there's a you shaped hole in my heart V3 We kept calm and carried on Creating the words to our song Verse after verse continued to flow As we put on our show Prechorus Chorus Bloody lovely solo here Chorus to end

Cheers Craig - hope you are well mate

Pleasure sir.

I can't upload a video of inside the control room of studio 2 - I was there on a mate's Disney session recording keyboard overdubs. Only observing but it was a dream come true.

Studio 2

This is in the corridor right outside Studio 2 just gathering dust!

Bloody forum. I can only post one at a time. More to come

Yeah. It was amazing. Definitely a bucket list moment Got to play 'Mrs Mills' piano and other legendary instruments
