Take a look and listen if you are interested but i fully understand if you are not. Ignore the pretentious blurb that goes with it, but what the hell, all good fun (more of a collecrion of jams really, but I thought it was about time before I get too old!

Yes, both Cd and digital download, although the digital download is not quite ready yet, they told me another day or so yesterday

"some point in time" will be released at some point in time in the future...just can't seem to find a good singer!

much appreciated, thanks
Who are the other members in the band? Reads like you've got a tight band put together. Not sure why I can't hear the previews...
I thought the band members were Jon, JG and J Gill, no? :D

You should never believe all the hype :) It's just me on guitar and bass and superior 2 for drums. I put the pretentious blurb together to see what kind of reaction it gets from various people I know who then think it is a band because of the blurb. The reaction is completely different when people think it is a band than when they realise you just did it all yourself. Just amusing myself really :)

Quite correct, the blurb says "when 3 become one"....that's me, myself and I :)

Jeesh, you totally had me scratching my head. For some reason none of my browsers will show me links for the previews or anything.

That's very odd, I wonder if it has anything to do with cookies from the site?
Oh, it started working right after that, sorry. Cool previews.
My album has now found its way onto Itunes

Very cool Jon. Out of interest, what is "Some Point In Time"? Just a single track? If so, what kind of singer are you after? What's the track like? I may have an idea or two depending what you're after.
"some point in time" was to be an album. I had (and still do) lots of ideas for riffs etc for 10 songs. Craig was going to write lyrics for each track but nrver got round to it so it was shelved. The voice that I am looking for would be powerful, with that rough gravelly quality to it that can also really scream and hit the high notes.
I would like to revisit this, so what did you have in mind?
One question.....Male or female vocals?
Mark said that Craig can do both. :D
you can see the idea forming.
be cool
Though I doubt the vocalist spud has in mind does "rough gravelly"
does the rest though from what I remember.
spud — Nov 24, 2009One question.....Male or female vocals?
I had originally thought male, but now that you have mentioned it either would be a consideration as a good voice is like gold dust
fingers — Nov 24, 2009you can see the idea forming.

I'm actually VERY honoured that you remember Fingers. Makes me kinda proud 8-).
I have no idea what you are talking about now....please advise :-)
spud - post the track I am thinking off, would like to hear it again.
Haven't listened to this in an age. Christ, my guitar playing was stillted and mechanical. Must find time to re-do guitar part.
Spud, I haven't forgotten about this. I've been ill the last few days and so will revisit this thread in a few days and get back to you
cheers
Jon
Jon, I WAS NOT pushing here. The chance of you getting Jo to do anything singing-wise are slim to f%$k all. She just doesn't feel that she has the talent/doesn't want "it" (whatever "it" is). Listen again to the the track I posted and give me your thoughts (especially on the guitar parts please). BUT...YOU will have to contact her and ask the question should you wish to do anything with the idea. We are still happily married, and therefore I KNOW that she'll only ever entertain something like this if the offer comes direct from the source.
You've been warned! ;) :)
Hope the illness was not too severe and that you feel better soon.
Spud.
