Bajan Blue

monomex - yes in Constantly Disappointed Toleration (the track) the tambourines are mostly from shimmer shake strike - think we played one (shock /horror) as well Nigel

this always seems so expensive to me, even at this discounted price - oh and I also wonder if it can really work as they say?? Nigel

Hi Freddy Thanks so much for the great comments - really appreciated Nigel

I think that's a great price for shimmer shake strike + expansion, which I think is one of the best percussion library's I have used - this gets used on most tracks we do Nigel

Hi FJ thanks for the kind comments - always appreciated. All our music is available from all the usual places, including Spotify We are trying one new retailer this time, Music Glue - bit too early to tell yet if any good, but if they sell just one, that's worth about 30000 streams on Spotify!!!!! https://www.musicglue.com/devine-lie Cheers Nigel

Hi Bat I shall have to have a look and see if I still have it somewhere - I really had forgotten all about this Thanks Nigel

Hi Guys Well I had a disaster and two of my old, beloved Burns Orbit Amps went down at the same time - one pretty terminally as it started to smoke badly!! The choice of what we can get here is limited, so I went down to my local Music Shop and they had the usual, which here is normally Peavy / Behringer stuff - and always very expensive due to our shipping costs and nearly 100% import duties😒😒 Then they told me they had one Shaman G20 left - well I'd never heard of it so they got it out - what a nice amp - very unusual and sounds great!! And it was NOT expensive - cost me around US$185 When I got home had a look on the web but there doesnt seem to be much about them - anyone heard of them and now anything about them. Pictures and brief description below Cheers Nigel Description hand-wired 20-watt vacuum tube guitar amplifier - modern styling matched with classic tube amplifier tone the attitube g20 features two el84 tubes in the output stage and two 12ax7 tubes in the pre-amp. it provides volume and tone control and a three way mode switch. attitube g20 is supplied with a 12-inch speaker cabinet. it clearly stands out from other conventional tube amplifiers in the market place both in style and in sound quality. the 20-watt amplifier is hand crafted and uses its own customized oil condensers that can be rarely found on other tube amplifiers. out unique output transformers are designed and built in-house. the design is from geniel lim, a tube amplifier designer and specialist with 50 years of experience. the included 12 speaker is a perfect companion for the amplifier with its aluminium case. the speaker is housed in a distinctive high gloss white cabinet which complements the g20

Hi tom I played the bass on this - glad you liked it and thanks so much for all the positive comments - really appreciated Keep well Nigel

FJ - really like these, especially the Travel Mix - I could see this ripping it up in my local Club in Cape Town!!! Nigel

Hi Bjorn love this, great stuff - made me laugh😂😂 Nigel

Hi guys The third track off our new album has just been released today - it's called African Skies - this track means quite a lot to us as we love Africa and Africans and spend a great deal of time in Africa. But what goes on can be very dispiriting at times, . One of these days, hopefully Africa will start to produce leaders who aren't just thieves and despots!! Anyway here's the track, hope you enjoy Nigel African Skies Swirling across The arid Plain Dust taints the sky Water holes dry Crops all gone Just waiting for Time to die African skies Majestic and cruel Save your remorse For tomorrow African skies Mountains so tall Earth blood red With sorrow Struggles continue Over the Land Slaughter night and day Some people claim The Land is theirs But history's in the way African skies Majestic and cruel Save your remorse For tomorrow African skies Mountains so tall Earth blood red With sorrow Now it’s time To count the cost Hate and intolerance abide Corruption means Poverty and death People just try to survive African skies Majestic and cruel Save your remorse For tomorrow African skies Mountains so tall Earth blood red With sorrow

I haven't heard of Har Bal for ages - I used to have Har Bal and updated up until version 2 I think - to be honest I thought they had gone bust!! Those who have the latest version, is it any good and what exactly do you use it for? Thanks Nigel

Hi Joad Thanks for the kind comments - always appreciated Nigel

Hi Craig - thanks for the plug - always appreciated!! Cheers Nigel

Hi Thanks for the comments, really appreciated - with regard to iTunes, I have no idea how they have got that wrong - I don't think we'd even recorded it in March😁😁 Anyway shall try and see what's happened, thanks for letting me know. With regards the arrangement, we didn't want to change too much as we really liked the song, just wanted to do it our way. Again thanks, Nigel

Jim - I've had a number of systems from Studiocat - very good products and after sales Service , so I would strongly recommend them if you go down the route of a product from a supplier as opposed to building yourself Hope all goes well Nigel

Hi Everyone The second track off our new album was released the other day - hope you enjoy it - it's a cover of the old Jefferson Airplane track Cheers Nigel

Blackeyedbeats, Tezza and bjornpdx - thanks so much for the kind comments - we really appreciate all the support - we're still pinching ourselves a bit at just how well this track has been received - we've had nearly 250000 views now on YouTube!! Thanks Nigel

Windows 7 user here as well - since I invested in SSD Drives, the machines work very well, probably better than they ever have! after support stops, I am going to continue to use my machines until incompatibility issues or terminal breakdown make that no longer feasible. Nigel

Andy I'd continue, definitely sounds like there could be something good in there!! And why stop at ONLY 23 minutes - why not a triple rock opera themed album....now that's proper prog rock heaven!! Nigel

Hi grem Cheers comments really appreciated - it really has been received well - we've had over a 170000 views on YouTube now! Nigel

I've spent way more on divorce attorneys. Ha ha, brilliant - and a great way to look at the true costs of even the most expensive software -!!! Nigel

Hi Daryl I like this - really reminds me of The Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band - used to love Viv Stanshall and once even saw Roger Ruskin Spears kinetic Wardrobe (or something like that) It was very strange and certain substances were obligatory to enjoy fully (beer of course😎😎😎) , but there you go, the old days!! Great stuff Nigel

Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone who took the time to check out our video - we have had OVER a Hundred Thousand views on YouTube now, so this has been our most successful release so far Once again, Thanks so much Nigel

Hi Dave Like this a lot - a great Sax solo would make this sound spectacular - I've just worked with a saxophonist friend of mine who just dubbed a small solo on a track we are doing at the moment. I'd originally hashed the solo together using some Kontakt instrument (cant remember which one) and i thought that sounded Ok - but the real thing, well something else!! Nigel
