Title: New Album - A Modest Proposal
Post by: Chocolate Shake Man on August 02, 2016, 06:17:58 PM
Okay so I made a whole album called A Modest Proposal - it's pretty short, just over 30 minutes. The aim was to make it sound like a lost Mod album from 1965 or 1966. Some of the songs on it I have posted before. Please let me know what you think when you get a chance.

I made a slight change to the album so I decided to update the thread. Let me know what you think if you give it a listen.

I like it. There's a nice build to the album----the organ really adds a lot. And great to hear those Zoot Money and Hawks songs.

Favourites? I'd say #2 to #7----hard to pick just one. But the whole album holds together well. 

Someone at Soundcloud commented on the great retro sound----I'll echo that. ;=)

Thanks so much for the kind words, John. Glad that you enjoyed it.

For those who don't want to sit through an entire album, I have made two youtube videos of two of the songs:

Sorry for the incessant self-promotion.
