Take A Stand

Country instrumental with slide guitar. Confident slide guitar accompanied by steady drums, bass and acoustic guitar to start. Honky tonk rhythm introduced on electric guitar, adds texture. Country-style violin solos over the groove. The slide re-enters accompanied by choppy violin. Upbeat, charming and fun, perfect retro, line-dancin’ country music for TV sequences and family adverts.

Longmu

Chilled instrumental jazz track. Shuffling drums, downbeat piano chords, thoughtful piano melody with a jazz tonality. Brass enters, repeated a piano phrase. Melody repeated on piano, joined by Rhodes piano, double bass, punctuated by brass notes. Dreamy section, woozy brass, lightly strummed electric guitar, delicate piano motifs, chilled drums with Ethiopian jazz influences and bright chords. All join on relaxed version of original melody. Relaxed, warm and a little bit mysterious, perfect background music for a curious documentary or for a laid back yet reflective Film/TV scene.

Pagume

African jazz instrumental. Snaking double bass intro, joined by jazz drums, vibraphone, electric guitar and keyboard playing a rhythmic motif. Change of rhythm, horn blasts then saxophone melody, subtle African-jazz style, effects-heavy electric guitar solo, brass noise before vibraphone motif returns and all play until the finish. Intriguing, exotic and sensual, with hints of Mulatu Astatke and a little Fela Kuti influence, would suit a travel documentary or Film/TV scene evoking the spirit of a hot night in urban 1970s Africa.

Blue Diamond

Lush guitar production in this warm happy and carefree track. Rounded electric guitar is joined by a choir of female ahh voices, piano and drums. Imagine a sunny wholesome day out in the park with your best friends. Perfect advert music.

The Colour’s Coming Back to our Faces

Happy positive rock track with electric guitar, strings and piano. A bit Coldplay “When I Ruled The World”-like. Wholesome, warm and optimistic. Something great has happened, something has been achieved. We’ve done it. Perfect for corporate / charity campaign.

Urban History 1969 Detroit Rebels

Sassy 60s feel. Amy Winehouse meets Heard it through the Grapevine meets Motown.

Disco Olympics

High energy disco with a club feel. String intro crashes into full on celebration with party sounds, leading to sophisticated disco arrangement with pokey synth and guitar stabs. Reminiscent of “Relight My Fire” by Take That and the one and only Lulu.

Daruckatekarte

Begins with quasi-gamelan, becoming a dreamlike, wobbly guitar piece with gentle funk rhythms.

Big Underground Balls

Crazy upbeat and intense drum rhythms with dissonant fx developing into debauchery with harsh electric guitars. Reminiscent of a wild garage krautrock jam.

A Favourite Place of Mine

Metal xylophones, evocative of memories and times gone by, with (later) hip-hop-esque percussion patterns.
