David Bowie's isolated vocal track for "Ziggy Stardust"

The latest Flash Ray Laser track, featuring vocal samples suggested by Dom Bot.


Lightning Flash

I wrote this song after a fantastic weekend in Barcelona with some very special friends that I have. I wanted to capture the vibe we had and the Barcelona town. 

Version control:
13th July - First mix
14th July - Chose a different take of the vocals in a small part in the first vers. Added De-esser to the backing vocals (I forgot that before). Did some changes to horns section to make them a little more distinct. Removed one hit on the bass kick in the first chorus. Increased the latin percussions a notch. Increased the volume a notch for the vocal fills at the end.

Lyrics:
Here comes a song about friendship and life
and the need to take a break to get through
Let's take a walk down La Rambla street
Beat the heat with the local brew
 

We talk about what we truly believe in
We honor life and then we join in the circle of hands
 

It's a beautiful day, I'm walking around in my shades
I'm in Barcelona
I got the blue sky high and everything's alright
I'm in Barcelona
With my friends, hangin' on the beach
We share the now and some memories
In Barcelona
 

Into the night we crave cocktails and dreams
With an open-minded point of view
We wanna ride, ride and never stand still
There is so much left for us to do
 
We listen to what made us and failed us
We're in this world and then we'll leave it for a little while

It's a beautiful day, I'm walking around in my shades
I'm in Barcelona
I got the blue sky high and everything's alright
I'm in Barcelona
With my friends, hangin' on the beach
We share the now and some memories
In Barcelona

And then we dance like nobody's watching
Together we shine like the brightest of stars
and if this night will last forever, we'll be singing this song till the end of our time
(or) until the Barcelona bubble goes boom!

ACE OF SPADES ( MOTORHEAD COVER )

A cover recorded for a compilation album that was released by the Swedish rock magazine Backstage in 1995 with my band at the time. We were asked to contribute with a exclusive song that was not on our album (see cover image). We had played this song live a few times so we decided to record it. The drums and bass (I'm playing bass) were done pretty much live the day after our release party for the album so both me and the drummer Jamil were hangover as hell. We went to the studio on our own, no technician or producer around, and did two takes and the second one is what you hear. I did one correction on the bass and that is it. Guitars and vocals where added later. 

Schizophrenic Circus- Deuce (KISS cover)

TNT The People Network - I'm On My Way

So I decided to quit playing Elite: Dangerous for a little while and finish this track.

Video for the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqkWS4HY9-s
Version log:
16th April-2016. Changed the guitar sound and did some more re-mix
15th April-2016. Added a intro vocal and did some re-mix of various things and tried Landr.com for mastering as a test, which is what you hear.
30th Jan. Replaced some guitar licks with my new Gibson and Dunlop wah wah pedal at the intro of the solo and end solo. Added some EQ to the hi-hat.

On New years eve 2015 I had been listening to Motorhead a lot for a couple of days following Lemmy's passing. Just before we were about to leave home for a New years dinner with some friends I got this idea about making a tribute to Lemmy in the same style as Motorhead so I picked up the guitar and this riff came to me right away. I then decided to try to sing in a similar style that Lemmy does...did, but with my own touch. The lyrics is a summary of how I experienced and remember Lem. Have a Jack & Coke (or a Lemmy as it is known now) and play it loud!

Lyrics:
I'm down 
I got the news
I'll have a bourbon 
with a touch of blues

You took the lead
A metal god
a middle finger 
with your head up high

Lights out
and you're gone
we will remember
we will carry on

You played the game
A cheap thrill
You'll be missed
at the Bar & Grill

You were born to loose
But you lived to win
Like the original sin

When you spoke your mind
It was the honest truth


So...
Raise some hell
Bang a gong
Have a Jack 'n Coke
This is Lemmy's song


An  Icon
A gentleman
A rocking rebel
with no masterplan

A British mate 
In Hollywood
On speed dial
to Dr Feelgood

A good run
So many chats
you saw the light
coming through the cracks

You blew the wind
Into our sails
A pirate ship
So full of tales

You were the Ace Of Spades
Always forced the blind
Such a mastermind

You've blown the final fuse
But we still play it loud

So...
Raise some hell
Bang a gong
Have a Jack 'n Coke
This is Lemmy's song

Lemmy's Song

You died with your boots on
Like the rebel you were
we don't take shit from no one
We follow your word

You were the Ace Of Spades
Always forced the blind
Such a mastermind

You've blown the final fuse
But we still play it loud

So...
Raise some hell
Bang a gong
Have a Jack 'n Coke
This is Lemmy's song

Saknaden-Vilde

My name is Magnus Engdahl and I live in Sundbyberg, just outside of Stockholm/Sweden. I used to play bass in various bands, both original and covers, back in the 80's & 90's. I have released a few CD's with different bands and had a record deal at one point with the band Schizophrenic Circus, with whom I also did a Swedish support tour with Saxon in 1995. I decided in Nov 2009 to start to write my own songs again after not being very active for many years. You will mainly find my solo projects here were I play, sing, program and mix everything, but there will also be some old stuff I've done and some new collaborations with other people. 

My software is; Logic Pro X on a iMac 27 (late 2013)", Shreddage2, Komplete 10, EZ drummer2, EZ mix2, EZkeys, TH3 guitar plug and a few other plugins.
Hardware: Fender Jazz Bass and Fender Guitar, Gibson Studio, Washburn acoustic guitar, Apogee Duet sound interface, Sennheiser K4 Microphone, Komplete kontrol S49 and Maschine Studio. 
More than anything I use my creativity. 

All songs prior to the 8th of June 2012 were recorded on Logic Express and songs prior to 17th January 2011 where recorded on Garageband.
