Steve Gilmore and In No Sense
Filter
A Better Way A Better Way
One of the highlights of the CD, at least IMHO. Quite possibly the first time I have ever been able to fuse classical and me usual rhythmical malarky AND have it work.
I Believe In Angels I Believe In Angels
Partly inspired from someone I met through Soundclick's new friend system, this track is dedicated to Haldeja. Musically, as you'll find, it mirrors a lot of the sound(s) Something Special is built on; lots of different flavours.
The Marketplace The Marketplace
One of the highlights of the CD, at least IMHO. Quite possibly the first time I have ever been able to fuse classical and me usual rhythmical malarky AND have it work.
Break Out, Get Out Break Out, Get Out
A lot of Something Special is guitar oriented and this track is no exception, something for all you stringheads out there. One of my own personal favourites from the album. We're in heaven, today.
End Of Time Ball End Of Time Ball
I had these vocals ya see, and I couldn't do anything with them. Then I worked out this see-saw bass sequence and off it roared, this track pretty much wrote itself around that initial bass riff. Made to be played LOUD.
Do You Want To Start The Game Again? Do You Want To Start The Game Again?
The usual Gilmore kitchen sink jobbie. Started in one place, wandered over there, wandered over here; ended up all the way out here. Where's the reset button??
The Road Less Travelled The Road Less Travelled
I'm a sucker for nice snare sounds and I've had this one hanging around forever before I could fit a track to it. Seriously, I think like that! If that doesn't scare you death nothing will. A mix of orchestral, rock and Gawd knows what else....
Something Special Something Special
The title track of the latest CD took almost the whole of this year to pull together; as you will hear it is a blend of a lot of things. Getting them all to work together for one purpose was enough to try a saint. the sort of track that sounds easy
Thats All There Is To It Thats All There Is To It
Another track from the Something Special CD. Most of my tracks start from either a groove or a bassline and this was no different. Where I went and did my usual pratfall was in invoking my own paltry Lead Guitar God side...That's why the Spanish t
Rock and Rollers (Do The Funk Ace) Rock and Rollers (Do The Funk Ace)
A track from the new Something Special CD. One of my standard romper-stompers. As you know I do like to d**k around with rhythms and that is how this track started, although not is all as it appears....
Big World Dub Big World Dub
Another track from the new Something Special CD. This is, as you may suspect, yet another of my forays into world music, and on this track I go right across the world from East To West....
Break The Cage Ft Jim Miller Break The Cage Ft Jim Miller
The first of two collaboration tracks with Jim Miller, ace saxophist and one half of the justly famed Jim-n-Lisa. This was a nothing track until Jim got a hold of it and made it the red hot track it is now. Blow dat pipe me brudder!
Bite The Dust Bite The Dust
The original version of this was started at the tail end of 2003 as a rock song, since then it has changed genre a couple of times and now God knows what it is - other than rhythmic that is...
Containment Theory Containment Theory
All my life I have messed around in the genre of rock and when I get a good riff happening I can never let the damn thing go. Almost everything has changed in this track at some time over the last three years or so, it's had so many different setti
Great Hands Great Hands
During my experiments with mixing scratches (class ones of course) with other forms of music than hip-hop, this came out of the same session as Have You Got The ??? and has much the same wild groove. Mind you, there's a lot going on so you'll have
March Of Time March Of Time
Another of my ventures into the Far Eastern soundscapes, March of Time is yet another track that took a dogs age to finally develop finally finshed off late last year and is what I could pretty, especially the vocals at the end. I got a real thing f
Life In The Margin Life In The Margin
Another track that has been hanging around the place for about two years, trying to decide if it was a rock track or a dub/reggae joint. Eventually, as you can hear, it made it on both counts. Mmmm, not so unusual then eh? This is one of those tr
Chant Of The Gwailo Chant Of The Gwailo
Quite a recent track in terms of evolution, I've had this hanging around for about a year trying to get those sax bits right (cos I know Jim Miller will pick up on it otherwise). I do love brass sounds, and none more so than a great sax - provided
Lift My Head Up Lift My Head Up
I've had the central guitar riff hanging around for ages and one day I found a groove for it, and what a groove. For those foolhardy people who like their rock on the raw side of tasty, this is tailormade for you. It came from the same sessions th
All For A Friend All For A Friend
Another remix/remaster from the 2002 CD 'The Real Dance Music' All For A Friend was part of the whole alternative thing I was pursuing at the time. This is pretty much the original construction, I've done a little tidying up, especially some of t
