Celia Part A

This was something special! This track is a collaboration between Daniel van den Berg aka Danarchx on guitars and Jamie Rhind on Organ, strings synth and bass Synth. We aimed for a kind of Deep Durple meets Al Di Meola meets Yngwie kind of thing. It was cool and courageous of Jamie trying on a loud rock/metal piece but the result is... Well you judge!

Drag Racers on the Spanish Highway - Part 1 - Featuring Jamie Rhind

This fusion track is conceived as a series of wild flurries with melancholic and fast harmonic changes, it tries to charter different moods and feeling in a franticly romantic way. 
The title points to my heroes of Return to Forever, it's a tribute however in my own humble way and style, in which I might have picked up a thing or two from other musical influences... Without giving it away there is a quote somewhere in this track from the super guitar trio: Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia, who all come from the same group of marvelous 70-ties musicians.

I hope you can appreciate my musical excursions here.

Frantic Romantic Warriors - Dan van den Berg

The title hints upon the dangerously seductive dance of Salome. Beauty and unease... The track's harmonies and melodic intents seem to flow from eerie to melancholy, tension and resolve. 
I have been working on this track for quite some time in the shape of a very loud rock tune, yet in that form still to be released. Recently I asked Mirko Borach, aka Stringburner, if he would add his bass ideas to this. His musical intention, virtuosity and his singing tone made me try an acoustic version with more room to shine for his playing. In the reworking I changed it into an exotic wild oriental or eastern dance with the, for me at least, obvious hints of Jazz Rock, Flamenco and Fusion. I hope you can enjoy it!

Veils in the Serpent Wind, Part I - by Dan van den Berg, featuring Mirko Borach

This is the full version of a suite from my band, Psycles.  I hope you listen and enjoy.

Onsra - I Fall in Love (Full Version)

This is a cool, old Little Richard cover.  Great solos from Howard Levy and B.J. Cord.  I think the guitar solo has some great moments, though I wish I would've chilled out a bit at the end.  That's me singing.  Fun listen.  From the album: Chris Siebold & Psycles Live At Martyrs' CSM 2011 Available on CD, vinyl, and all digital formats.
