Tortured Soul (2010)

Tortured Soul was the name of a band I was in as a schoolboy, that never really took off, but for which, I had great ambitions 🙂

This is still I believe, one of my most accomplished works – the song writing seemed to come so easy, and some of the songs just seemed to flow so naturally – I still delight in listening to it myself.  Highlights include the title track, a great opener – and “God is not Great” which has a great musical interlude to main romp.

“The Spirit of Radio”, a cover a Rush’s classic, really matches the tone I think, and “The Dark Line” is probably one of my favourite all time tracks.

Edge Of the World was completed in 2008 – My favourite track on this collection is “My Naked God” which is a fast moving rock track, with a nice harmony.  The overall sound is fairly similar to “Many Ways To Be” so far, the only significant difference […]

Many Ways To Be (2008)

Many Ways To Be – Everything seemed to really fall together well, from the outset with My Many Ways To Be, to the conceptual “serial” of Violently Blue and The Lives I Have Lived then the upbeat rocker in Rollercoaster. I started to use twin lead harmonies strongly here, and put a […]

Never A Truer Word was my first collection of songs produced reasonably professionally.  Many of the songs were written between 1989 and 1996, by myself, for a variety of school and student bands of which I was a member.  This was the first time any of […]
