Drone Over Detroit-

My Long Imagined Remix of one of my favorite Kraftwerk Songs.

Das Model

When a loved one passes, especially a parent, the grieving is intense. When my Dad passed 3 years ago, even though he had been ill for a long time, the pain was almost unbearable. 
It gave me cause to stop and sum up what my life had meant and how I was going to live from here on out.
I thought about my wife and my kids and how they will feel when my time comes and the pain was/is equally unbearable but underneath it all I chose to believe that we will meet again in some form or other. That this is not our only time around.

The Other Side Of The Door MASTER 1

A kitchen sink time overload of sounds... I had fallen out of love with this song having tweaked it too much and my guitarist friend,  Marco Fortier, was unhappy with where I'd put his guitars but I still thought the song deserved to live.  The amazing Tom Holmes threw down a sax and nutty guitar and all sorts of other oddities and I finally got to do a xylophone solo to replace my original Brian Wilson homage vocal solo. Just couldnt pull it off.. The song is nuts and there's lot's to discover upon repeated listening..

Why Do U Want Me?

Wrote this synth piece 100 years ago as an instrumental but it was never released. I lost all the data and most of the gear and the Alesis MMT-8 became obsolete but I recently found a mix on a cassette tape, so I dropped it in pro tools, covered the hiss with rain and thunder, added percussion, a bass line and some funky vocals and I think it works. I got my daughters to sing back vocals and BOOM!!

Karma Is calling  -   ReMix

Deep dark groove. All percussion is live. No samples, Keys are all played in real time other than the 2 loops.

Cold Blood In Your Eyes Ruf Mix 3

another unfinished rarely performed song from 1999, buried in a broken down hard drive. All I could do was to add some EQ and some mastering gizmo's..

I Gave All My Love To You

trance electronic acoustic  songthat was always fun to play. Co produced by the fabulous William Duke with Jack Elder making spooky guitar sounds. The band name at that time was That Man Fantastic. but it was a solo album with great musicians.
