Magical Mystery 2021 Re-Master

Hey Jude

Prior to recording her 2007 debut album, What Are You Singing About?, Bournemouth acoustic singer-songwriter Lou Brown demo'd an early (2005/6?) version of Thinking About You Lately at my home studio, which Lou would end up re-recording as the last track on her debut. I decided to finish the track off anyway, with an ambient electronica arrangement, extended to twice it's original length, remastered for 2021 by Paul Bennett @ Waygone Music. I hope Lou likes it!

Lou Brown - Thinking About You Lately (extended Moonbeams mix)

This is the guide demo for members of Moonbeams & Wendy Jane's Choir Project to build on for a fundraising event on 20th March, in Southbourne, Bournemouth UK

Hard Rain

More analogue bliss from the dream-team of singer-songwriter Millie Watson & engineer/arranger Connie, this time exploring a reggae flavour, courtesy of Dubheart drummer Gav Sant. It's not just Sophie Avison's cello that gets emotional...

Connie's Deep Ocean Dub Mix

Hold On (Connie's Deep Ocean Dub)

Analogue (ie, no computer involved) recording of Millie Watson's lilting waltz-time call to arms; deep double bass, brush drums, warm fuzzy Wurly piano, & dreamy cellos, rise & fall behind bare-fingered down-tuned acoustic guitar strums & those beguiling, come-hither vocals, with an offer few could refuse.

Heartstrings & Bones (Connie's Wurly Waltz Mix)

Northern Soul meets 50's B Movie Drive-In Mutation

Monsters (Drive - In Nightmare)

Written in lock-down in response to the one minute thirty second attention span of the average video blogger viewer, hence no verses but two different choruses and lots of la-la's and a cheeky drum-loop. An homage to our rock anthem heritage, and it is in support of Macmillan Cancer Care charity.
Please share shamelessly.
