Bitten by Sharks - Final Version, with video

[SharksDontSleep]

It's taken ages to get this one out.
The instrumentation was recorded over 6 months ago, using a Boss BR800 (drums, bass, guitars & mastering) & iPad GarageBand (keyboards & mix), before Graham had heart surgery.
The vocals were recorded after, so it's kinda special for him.
After vocals it was remixed umpteen times until we agreed on this version. 

Hope you like it, it's not our 'normal' style.
We think it's a Pink Floyd meets King Crimson whilst Dire Straits look on.

Graham & his daughter made the video, using selected local locations.

Thanks Alex. Admittedly it was 6 months due to my tardiness & Graham's convalescence.
I think it was worth the wait though

Very good,I definitely hear Dave Gilmore in there.
A fantastic soundscape to an very atmospheric video.
Excellent.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

All round fantastic. Great bit of major prog, I love the vocal and lyric and the lead going all the time just works.

Just back for a 'proper' listen.

(i.e. a glass of rioja and my westones.) 

I can hear the layers much better, the synth pads fill out the soundscape - nice and fat, lovely full 'Bitten by Sharks'

And it's a real 70's fuzz on that break  - nice....

Can we have a track please? - I need it for my piepod

I dig it, you make great music. And the video production is fab!

Yeah this is great! I like the Pink Floyd vibe. Perfect guitar tone Gilmour style. Well done.

Gilmour: That'd be Graham (Voodoo John) pre op.
Soundscape: That'd be me, cajoled into greater things by Graham.
Atmospheric Video: Graham again

Cheers too.
Yep, all Graham's work (vocal, lyrics & lead). I provide bass & cake icing.

Thanks again.
The layering is my contribution. The 70's fuzz is Graham's (TC Electronics I think) pedal.
Mp3 is too big to upload (over 10 Mb), so instead here's a link to the full "Album" version.

Thanks Mark, that's a tremendous compliment.

I like the Pink Floyd vibe. Perfect guitar tone Gilmour style. Well done.

Cheers Mach, That's Graham. The boy certainly knows his guitar tones.

Thanks everyone for the comments. We're certainly loving reading them.
