This is another "work in progress", inspired by the Scandinavian folk-prog--symphonic metal scene. It brings out my (not very deeply hidden) penchant for the pompous and wildly overblown. :)  Mostly a synthy intro, it just about gets some riffs going before it tumbles to a halt. I just need to find the time to stack up more riffs and pretentious noises -- as well as some lyrics and a vocal melody!  

Apologies to the excellent Mike Scott Rohan for having nicked his cool title. (You should go read his book, since it's much better than my music :)

I've uploaded a partial demo for an "epic metal" arrangement of the famous Scottish border ballad "Tam Lin" (Child 39). It's definitely unfinished: at the moment, the story only reaches the point where Tam reveals that "the Queen of Fairies, she caught me when from my horse I fell" -- and it's already over six-and-a-half minutes long. 

Recorded in Garageband, though the guitar and bass amp models are courtesy of some Amplitube plug-ins, and the drums were programmed in Doggiebox with the old ns_kit7 samples. 

My version of the lyrics is kind of a mash-up of various attested variants; the music is mostly my own, though it references bits of the arrangements made famous by Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. 

It's gonna be huge and bombastic as all get out by the time I finish it!

Entonces, unas canciones ....

Afterburner" se combina descaradamente influencias de Hawkwind/Kyuss/Monster Magnet para una festival de riffs. La grabe hace unos años (la version "original demo"), y la interprete en vivo con The Hibachi Dealers cuando vive en Inglaterra. Ahora he subido una nueva mescla con extra rock y espacio!

Twa Corbies es una version de una cancion tradicional escocesa en el estilo de "metal folclorico". En ella, dos cuervos discuten su cena con respecto a un caballero fallecido. Que "metal" es eso!?

"Words to the Wind" es una version nueva de una cancion que se escribio originalmente con Ossian’s Ride (mi primero grupo temprano en los 1990s, basado en Boston, EEUU. En su mayor parte, compuse la musica y la tecladista (actualmente una candidata para el Congreso!) escribio las letras. Siempre me gusto la cancion, ¡pero que verguenza que canto fatal!

"Hassan I Sabha" es una version de una cancion original de Hawkwind. Una cancion vieja, pero se trata politica muy actual .... Compre sus CDs con sus versiones!

Si quisieras descaragr las canciones, puedes conseguir los MP3s tambien de mi sito de web -- y los MP3s ahi no son molidos tan mucho en los processadores de audio de MySpace!

So, a few tunes ....

"Afterburner" is a shameless Hawkwind-meets-Kyuss-meets-Monster-Magnet riff-fest I first recorded a few of years ago (the "original demo"). I used to play it live with the Hibachi Dealers when I lived in England. Now I’ve uploaded a new mix, with extra rock and bonus space!

"Twa Corbies" is a "folk-metal" version of a traditional Scottish border ballad. In it, two crows discuss their dinner vis à vis a slain knight. How metal is that!?

"Words to the Wind" is new recording of a song originally written and performed with Ossian’s Ride (my first band in the early 1990s, based in Boston, USA). I pretty much wrote the music, and the words were written by the keyboardist (now running for Congress!). I’ve always liked this song, and it’s only a shame that I can’t sing!

"Hassan I Sabha" is a version of an original song by Hawkwind. An old song, but its deals with very contemporary politics .... You should go buy their CDs with their versions!

You can also get MP3s of these songs from my web site -- and they won’t have been ground through MySpace’s bit-crushing processors!
