Have you ever heard Send Me A Lullaby?

Your stuff makes me think of that album, but with languid femme vox. :thumbs up:
 
Hey thanks Mark. I'd never actually heard The Go-Betweens before. I used to work with an Australian who loved 'em, so I always meant to. I listened to a few tracks on Youtube, it sounds great. I really like their guitars and arrangements--unusually minimalist for that era.
 
You're welcome :thumbs up:

Incidentally, my band's foray into 16 track analogue has been postponed until late February due to our bassist's work commitments making him unavailable.
 
Hey jpmorris. I used a Behringer VD400 pedal. Cheap but surprisingly good.
 
nice little tune. wish my girlfriend could sing. on your next recording try and push the levels so you get a bit of tape saturation and distortion and see how you like that.
 
Thanks Ultrasound.

We'll try to push it and saturate. This was just a small noodle, but my first analog/4-track recording in about 20 years so got excited to share it.
 
I'm having fun producing and engineering Moroccan Roll. Some cool old hippies. This track is pretty similar to Hawkwind, just even more spacey.

As always it's all analog apart from some of the reverb. It's recorded on SM900 as RMGI is out of 911.

Nice. I may have been listening to later Hawkwind than the era you're referring to because the resemblance didn't strike me that strong, at least on first listen. I think I get where you're coming from, though.


As a rule I keep the extended instrumentals hidden until the album is finished, but it feels like it's been a while since I posted anything new here, so I figured I'd do it anyway.

I still need a name for it, so at the moment it's just called 'song 260'.

This started out as an experiment to test the St. John's Wood organ tapes for the Memotron, but slowly turned into an extended instrumental.

Instruments used include:
Manikin Memotron Rack (choir, 3 violins, organ at St. John's Wood)
Korg Triton (Drums, solina, Fender piano, Harpsichord)
Roland JV1010 (distorted organ)
Hammond XM-1
Minimoog Voyager (lead, bass)
Epiphone Thunderbird Gothic bass

Recording was done to SM911 tape on a TASCAM MSR-24 24-track recorder, bass was originally recorded to a TSR-8 (and the transfer was nearly ruined when the timecode dropped out 5 minutes in...).
Mixed to SM900 tape on a Studer A807.

The bass part at the end turned out to be beyond my ability so I recorded that part with the machine running slow and used a different key.

I can hear it! I can hear the Hawkwind!

JPMorris, it's the sound of the early-'70s, and their sound definitely changed over the years.

Good stuff, both of you!

I thought it might be - I think my earliest is 'Mountain Grill', when they brought Simon House aboard.

And thanks. I almost have a complete album for next year now. And I must get off my butt and get the 'retake' project mastered.
