New tune, Ochre, on my myspace if anyone is interested in my depressing and melancholy grooves Nice, quite a reflective piece that. Did you use a volume pedal for the guitar Kev?

It was an auto swell feature Dan, but much the same effect. Allan Holdsworth is the absolute master of that particular vibe

Ah yes, Allan Holdsworth. Saw him live here around 2002, good gig. It was funny watching all the guitar heads trying to pick their jaws up off the floor :-)
Overall I prefer his work with others (Soft Machine, Gong, Jean Luc Ponty etc.) to his solo work, though I do have one album 'Sand', which has a lot of that sort of sound on it.

allan is a total auteur and it's amazing to hear how self depreciating he is about his own playing when he is considered one of the most inovative lead guitarists ever.
And yes, I adore his stuff with Gong and especially soft machine. I also love how people like Jon Anderson have developed these trans-atlantic accents yet Allan has lived in California since the mid 80's and still has the thickest Yorkshire accent possible.

Hey I only said similar to! ;D We Australians have relative uniformity in our (boring) accent, there's so much variety over there to keep track of...

Believe it or not I've never heard that phrase used by anybody ever. Also being a vegetarian I would be unlikely to throw anything on the barbecue... well maybe an eggplant.

Well in my experience of being a lifelong vegetarian I am amazed at some of the things people consider to be fine to eat. Fish, chicken and so on. And I lose count of the amount of people who think gelatine is absolutely fine

Yeah, funny how people think fish don't count as meat.
I love Bill Bailey's take on it: "I'm a vegetarian. I'm not strict; I eat fish, and duck. Well, they're nearly fish, aren't they? They're semi-submerged a lot of the time, they spend a lot of time in the water, they're virtually fish, really. And pigs, cows, sheep, anything that lives near water, I'm not strict. I'm sort of like a post-modern vegetarian. I eat meat ironically."

Yeah, or Bill Bailey's gag about hardcore vegans who won't even drive through a place with the word ham on the end.

Im curious about this Steel Panther band.
Thats the silliest name for a metal band since Wyld Stallions. Surely there is no band called that, is there ?
I'm nicking that, it's well funny.

As for Wyld Stallions apprently that was the name of Bill and Ted's band. Silliness as a science.

Yes, and the whole of 80s hair metal - named thus because the hairspray made their hair hard enough to be used as plectrums. The names and photos of that genre were priceless. I wonder what the members of those bands think of them today.

He he, the tune's better, though the title gives it a mystical edge. Unlike the majority of Greeks I'm not particularly fond of my own people though and I am aware that Alexander 'the great' was an imperialist.
Anyways, I've had a listen to some more of your tunes and they are all quite accomplished - they don't sound amateur to my ears. Shame you aren't looking for a record deal.

Well, at the moment it's all done purely for pleasure which is always the best way. no pressure to do anything in any particular way at all.
