cuts in my mouth

time apart

2006 Standard Toyota Corolla

I swear I heard my pain in your voice. Echoes of my own thoughts. Maybe there's a place for me here. Maybe there's a place for me. If bioluminescence were contagious, I'd hope to catch your shine. Ears open, eyes agape and scanning pages. Tying my laces by tracing your lines. Voice that eviscerates me. Words cut through to the spine. All of these things you have shown me, they've burrowed into my mind. I've been searching desperately for someone like you inside of myself, hoping to find a brighter hue. So I'll keep putting needle down to vinyl when I'm feeling alone. Sound waves spilling into darkened corners to light up this home.

A Shout to See

Wednesday

Dug back into the vaults for some more recordings from 1984, some rip roaring versions of Break Loose/Rocks Solid and Power Force, Rocks Solid is also on Into the Vault 1985 which is a different version, most of these recordings were in their initial stages of development mainly my friends feeling the songs out and learning them in the moment as I had to show them chord progressions/structure etc., so they are really raw but have their hidden gems throughout, the main thing is that they were recorded!  All of the recordings are from cassette tape, I eq'ed/compressed them then mastered them, so they are the basic raw recordings from back in the day, also there are bonus tracks added, Power Force and Star from 2002 and Power Through from 2003, these songs were recorded on a four-track cassette recorder.  I used my 1978 Peavey T-60 and Peavey Classic 50 watt amp with a Dearmond Wah pedal and an MXR distortion pedal, I used the wah pedal a lot in a certain position when playing and later learned that Mr. Michael Schenker also employed the same thing I believe.  It's fun digging through the old recordings and upgrading the quality of them and presenting them as well as preserving them.  Thanks very much for watching!

Star tuned for much more to come new music/remixing/mastering, collaborations etc, also check out Break Loose and Power Force from the album Rock It which are tracks two and eleven at the end of this video and the link below for a rehearsal version of Break Loose from 2007!
