| My Generation by pharmakeus | 7 days ago |
| shouldn't work - but it does somehow. love the bit where entwhistles thunderous bass run is played by the bass synth pad. | |

| farewell to suomi by telecaster29 | 10 days ago |
| @padowan_learner @Vixen @AcetyleneJukebox @zarizarikun @pharmakeus thanks for your kind comments. if you want to hear this sort of thing done properly check out the finnish joik singer wimme saari. i'm eternally indebted to the assistant at the saami museum who pointed me in the direction of his cd cugu - spellbinding. chris, love the painting. who's it by? the doodle i put on this i did with my ipad. if it's good enough for david hockney it's good enough for me. |

| Sea Battle by hywel | 19 days ago |
| sounds like 70's prog played on 80's synths. nice. | |
| Just Another Day by hywel | 19 days ago |
| nicely arranged and produced melodic synth-rock. made in wales? | |
| Cricket menace by Frippounet | 19 days ago |
 love the sounds you,re using here. mysterious, like the artwork. what is it - looks like a collage of some sort? |
|
| "Devcatko" Earth by vavsonka | 19 days ago |
| beautiful | |
| Reincarnation jam by zarizarikun | 19 days ago |
| plangeant tones and heartbeat rhythms make this very relaxing. could imagine this as the soundtrack for an underwater wildlife film. | |
| Krank up the JAM by Kw8zzy8s | 19 days ago |
| love it - especially the guitar at the end. your epiano work is very good. nice ambient section in the middle. prehaps you could have taken it down there and made that more psychedelic. but it's really enjoyable as it is. | |
| The Hopi's Dream by robby_reverb | 20 days ago |
| atmospheric piece that is at once ancient and modern. | |
| Thee Exorcism Sessions pt. 1 (DarkSided) by robby_reverb | 20 days ago |

| Over the Ocean by gepo | 20 days ago |
| poignant melody ad beautiful tones. i can hear chris's vocal in my head and it will be heart-stopping. | |
| !Noche Cubana - Con Mucho Gusto! by Kw8zzy8s | 21 days ago |
| great stuff. sounds like the santana band ciirca caravanserai. and you can't say better than that. | |
| Depth Charge Hustle by revoltington | 21 days ago |
| it's great prog/jazz rock in the canterbury mould, that's what it is. and i for one am thankful for that. | |
| "Yourock" MIDI Guitar by pharmakeus | 21 days ago |
| yeah you can't play it like a regular guitar (as is claimed) but i find it can be a (very) poor man's chapman stick if played in tap mode | |
| The Road Home by pharmakeus | 21 days ago |
| you're a poet and no mistake chris. your vocal matches the sublime drum/bass/gtr backbeat perfectly and the wah wah gtr and sax are just the iciing on the cake. seriously good work guys. | |
| Cafe in Lipari by w1av | 29 days ago |
| really good acoustic guitar. much enjoyed | |
| karesuando by telecaster29 | 29 days ago |
| @pharmakeus thanks for letting me know. are you on pc or mac chris? because this was done on the ipad its in aac fprmat. i'll try adding an mp3 version . | |
| Convulsions, Kiniptions and Kickbacks by revoltington | 1 month ago |
| sounds like a really tight live band with a slightly harsher overall sound than we normally hear from you. love the transition into the synth part. | |
| Desperado by Vixen | 1 month ago |
| Those backing vocals take this to the next level, followed by that exquisite low note at the end. | |
| "The Royale Krimpets" by abzwork | 1 month ago |
| Sweet indeed, but offset by the contrasting guitar sound and, surprise, vocals. Instantly recognisable as your work . You have built a formidable body of work. | |
| This Years Girl - acoustic by ClayPotts | 1 month ago |
| 1978 my freshman year at university. This record was on constant rotation on my turntable. I used to sing a lot of ec numbers in a covers banned. This wasn't one of them. Enjoyed your version. Thanks for the memory. | |
| Quiet Song by gepo | 1 month ago |
| Just simply gorgeous tones. A suggestion of a vocal in there? Your playing contnues to become ever more expressive, with little hooks in your melodies that tear at the heart strings. This is your best piece yet, IMHO. That' h fore humble.. | |
| State of Flux by DaBu777 | 1 month ago |
| nice sense of drama in the build. | |
| ocean breeze by telecaster29 | 1 month ago |
| @RetroTrend thanks for that. i must confess that the guitar is me playing the smart guitar instrument in gb app for ipad. the arpeggiated bits therefore had a certain amount of automation in them. but more human interaction than a loop. my wife would have divorced me if i'd taken my guitar to mexico with us! | |
| Jazzin' Zenitude2 by RetroTrend | 1 month ago |
| this is stylistically similar to jazz h0use suite, i'll be interested in how you develop that over an album. | |
| Jazz House Suite by RetroTrend | 1 month ago |
| just the right tune for a crisp sunday morning like this one. with a smoky saxophone that ain't been to bed yet. enjoyed this very much. | |

| "A Moment Of Clarity" by abzwork | 1 month ago |
like the sun shining through a break in the the clouds - a moment of clarity indeed. very classy guitar and the overall production quality we've come to expect as standard from you. very much rnjoyed this and good luck with the cd project. |

|
| In Vain by gepo | 1 month ago |
| lovely tones and as you say tugs at the heartstrings. like all your tunes it's just begging for a good lyric and vocal. | |
| lounge bar incident by telecaster29 | 1 month ago |
| i think the guy on the left is the troublemaker. it's not clear whether he's facing the other guy or the bar. i think he's got a gun stuck in my guys ribs under the bar. but i don't know either of 'em so i may be wrong. the mariachi band played some hot corridas though. | |
| Been a while, huh!? by albumflaps | 1 month ago |
| me too. in fact i was so pleased to hear you i jammmed a bit of organ on it. i lost your e-mailaddress. i you want to hear my addition pm me with your email address. | |
| Sub-Saharan Subterfuge by revoltington | 1 month ago |
| if this were the first i had heard of your work i would be astonished. now of course we have come to expect such brilliance from you. long may it continue, another one for my collection | |
| Such A Beautiful Girl by thsantac | 1 month ago |

| Just Another Day (Collaboration) by billylimbo | 1 month ago |

| Locomotive Breath by Vixen | 1 month ago |

| Blue by roarforge | 1 month ago |

| For Tamara by albumflaps | 1 month ago |
| good to hear your playing again allan. virtuoso as ever, look forward to the vocal version. | |
| Is That an Underwater Circus in your Pants? by revoltington | 1 month ago |
| love the layered sax on this one. i like the way you have a recognisable style but always there is something new in every composition. | |
| Magnolia by gepo | 1 month ago |
| you just get better and better gelu. there seems to be more depth to your recent compositions. bitter sweet reflection to my ears. achingly beautiful melodies that deserve lyrics to match. | |
| Image of You by gepo | 1 month ago |
| another gem | |
| Laughing Through Tears by gepo | 1 month ago |
| your talent continues to shine. almost a hawaiian sound. could have been part of the soundtrack of the descendants. very nice changes of pace in keeping with the title. lovely music as always gelu. | |
| Song for Brandy (Vers II) by jimisjoint | 2 months ago |
| This is a much better mix the strings really cut through at the end. You write very melodic, meaningful songs and you sing with great conviction. On this one you have excelled yourself with the horn and strings arrangement. The moment when the orchestra joins in is tremendous and it continues to build satisfyingly from there. This new mix makes that so much mor enjoyable. Well done and I look forward to your next one. | |
| A Wild Ride by gepo | 2 months ago |
| so do we get t o see her? she sounds just fine! | |
| instrumental (folk) by ryan482 | 2 months ago |
| very nice tune. elegant in its subtlety but with enough happening to maintain interest. particularly liked the banjo motif repeated under the harmonica. |
|
| Hotel Rick Santorum (parody of Hotel California) by revoltington | 2 months ago |
| genius! warm smell of bull****!! like all comedy music, it requires real talent to do this. | |
| Song for Brandy by jimisjoint | 2 months ago |
| another great song ceri. you sing with great conviction - not pretentious in the least. it's a lovely arrangement too. the brass and strings are suitably melancholy. would be nice to upload the lyrics - they're difficult to make out sometimes. | |
| Automatonophobia (fear of wax statues) by A1K3M1 | 3 months ago |
| suitably scary - and yet strangely compelling. featuring r2d2 on vocals. | |
| When You Smile by gepo | 3 months ago |
| you always come up with such lovely melodies and chord sequences, and this is no exception. so be careful with that axe, gelu. you need a full complement of digits to sound this good. | |
| Raining 5's and 7's by revoltington | 3 months ago |
| love that guitar tone - impeccable composition and musicality. and your guitar-playing just gets better and better. truly an inspiration. | |
| The Fields by Duncan_Clark | 3 months ago |
| nice picking. you should develop it further. perhaps a touch of reverb? | |
| Spiritual by AcetyleneJukebox | 3 months ago |
| superb. you manage to include a tribute to john mclaughlin too. appropriately , given coltranes influence on him. i know what you mean about spirituality and art. i saw courtney pine twice last year and he says his music connects him to the creator. i don't share his religious views, but i did feel i was taken to another place by the obvious joy courtney and his band had in playing together. every human civilisation has made music as a fudamental part of its core. except for the simon cowell tribe of course where it is just a form of currency. | |
| Ode to Billy Joe by Vixen | 3 months ago |
| great live feel to this. | |
| "Moog Prodigy" by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| whereas i would contend that a moog does have a soul. | |
| "Kawai ES-1" by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| doesn;t have a soul like a guitar, though. | |
| Nimbus Green by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| stranger and stranger! certainly original, there's something rather disconcerting about a robotic australian accent. | |
| last train to cairo by telecaster29 | 3 months ago |
| @Vixen well it is, but not in this case. no ipad on this, just the old-fashioned midi guitar and keyboard and akai ewi. thanks for listening. | |
| "Burdie" by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| your day is today, chris. and tomorrow. the best-sounding guitar i have was made by a work colleague. he only ever made one steel-string. he and i were interviewed for our jobs on the same day back in 1982 and we both were forced into early retirement by ill-health nearly 30 years later. when he went he gave me the guitar. | |
| O, Superman by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| well the original was pretty left-field (as befits lou reed's missus) but you manage to reinvent an even more radical version. love the steel guitar. superb. | |
| Upstairs by gepo | 3 months ago |
| hope you fix the stairs as well as you play guitar! | |
| I'm On My Way (from nowhere) by Vixen | 3 months ago |
| the style reminds me of kirsty macoll esp the harmonies and you don't get much better than that | |
| xi-balba by telecaster29 | 3 months ago |
| @Morris so glad you liked my attempt to capture the vibrancy of your country" @gepo I recommend it as a holiday destination. The Mayan ruins are magnificent and snorkelling in a cenote was unforgettable. A cenote is cavern filed with fresh water. Swimming close to the stalactiites was truly wonderful. There were a lot of Canadian touritists in can curcuma |

| Schmendrick's Wake by revoltington | 3 months ago |
| Another piece of guitar genius to ad to my collection" | |
| But not in that order by kirshtonoktober | 3 months ago |
| Sounds finished to me great lyrics and vocal. The fx add value as it stands but any more would distract.perhaps you could insert a strangulated guitar break. Much enjoyed. | |
| Acoustic Green Jam by UvsU | 3 months ago |
| I do like this a lot . Davy graham busking at the drive-in | |
| radio joy dance by UvsU | 3 months ago |
| Not sure I could dance to it but enjoyed nonetheless. Sounds like you were having fun jamming together | |
| xi-balba by telecaster29 | 3 months ago |
| @Vixen next stop lappland for the northern lights (hopefully) in march. i love the sami people's folk music too - quite reminiscent of native american music with asian overtones. | |
| "A Mobius Strip" by abzwork | 3 months ago |
| lovely groove and arrangement. not at all one-dimensional! | |
| Justice for Dotcom by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| well said chris. love the sax at the end. | |
| Confessions of a Bookings Taker by Vixen | 4 months ago |
| Very funny! Have a great time at the party. | |
| Out of Body by gepo | 4 months ago |
| Uplifting tune and impeccable guitar playing. Listening to this on my iPad in a magnificent hotel lobby here in Mexico, sipping papaya juice. Just the right tune for the occasion! | |
| Reflections In the Pool of Narcissia by revoltington | 4 months ago |
| Ever more sophisticated and rounded, I'm running out of superlatives to describe your music. Seamless progressions between the different sections are technically brilliant, but as I've said before, not at the expense of emotional contact in the music. Your best piece yet. |
|
| Assault and Battery [Batteria] by pharmakeus | 4 months ago |
| @morfadrena Great to hear your big guitar.again gianluca, hope to hear more from you soon. I tried to send you the track we talked about but the email kept getting bounced. I'll try again |
|
| Lay Down [Demo Mix] by pharmakeus | 4 months ago |
| Delicious sounds, especially the bass. | |
| Darth Cheney Lurks in the Shadows by revoltington | 4 months ago |
| I'm sure mr Cheney would like this if he heard it. He's partial to a bit of 7/4, I hear. You've built up quite a body of work , with a recognisable style that fuses brilliant technical skills with musicality and feeling that makes this music the equal of any progressive music of any era. Keep em coming, t odd. |

| Beyond The Balloons and Bunting by revoltington | 4 months ago |
| very different mood to this todd, as befits a time of reflection after the party. you just get better and better. | |
| "CheeseCake" by abzwork | 4 months ago |
| depends on whether you like cream with your cheesecake! this tastes just fine as it stands. inventive anddelicious as ever | |
| Drifting by brassgospelguy | 4 months ago |
| very unusual arrangement, understated and nicely judged to focus attention on the voice and words. very well done. | |
| Perfectly Imperfect by paulhaydenmusic | 4 months ago |
| pronounced 80's feel to the very clean production. you have no need at all to apologise for your singing. nothing amateurish about this at all. | |
| Magic Island by gepo | 4 months ago |
| delightful tune worthy of its subject. brings to mind the bittersweet feelings you have when you know your time in paradise must come to an end. but it is precisely because our time in eden is so short that the memories that remain grow sweeter with time. i,m very glad that your guitar is not played behind the iron curtain. it is a sobering thought that if history had taken a different turn in the 1970''s and 80's , we two could have been forced to fight on opposite sides in armageddon |
|
| "Around You" by abzwork | 4 months ago |
| sumptuous sound to that bass and the guitar is very satisfying. overall there is a sense of self discipline about the piece, as the guitar threatens to break free into an extended solo but never does, returning instead to the piano motif. excellent track. | |
| A Certain Shade Of Blue by MellyGrove | 5 months ago |
| interesting how different the mood of the piece becomes with a laid-back rhythm track. i think this version incorporates the original percussion more smoothly than mine did. and of course it's always better when a real percussionist plays the part. really well done. | |
| polarity by telecaster29 | 5 months ago |
| @Vixen thanks vicki. my artwork has become as important to me as my music and is also a matter of taste if you like it. so 1 out of 2 ain't bad! | |
