Track by Track Review of Soon
December 1996 marked the release of Graheme''s first CD entitled ''Soon''. In a age of synths ''Soon'' returned to the 60''s for its instrumentation - the keyboard player used hammond organ and wurlitzer piano, ''So Many Dreams'' featured a standup piano. The basic tracks were recorded live at Roundhouse, Alton, Hants and the overdubs, tracking and mixing were completed at Bandwagon Studios in Mansfield, Nottingham, UK.
Soon
A humorous look at buskers brush with fame. Graheme plays acoustic guitar, adding glass on steel to push the track along. David Wilson''s bass holds the track on course while electric slide guitar takes the track home, punctuated with brass riffs.
I Can''t Believe
An observation on being out work and the effect of homelessness. These are problems that continue to grow as divisions between the have and have nots widens. Hammond organ fills the emptiness while cutting guitar riffs underline the anguish.
Hurricane
Bass underlines the menace of the storm. Electric Piano adds atmosphere, brushed drums add a groove. Harmonics add a wistful haunting quality. Batten down the hatches - its going to be a stormy night.
The Night and Me
Alone with ones thoughts. The perfect tranquility of the night. Sax runs lace the song. The bass travels the world searching for?.
Night Winds
Who knows the power of the night? David''s backing vocals lift the solitary vocal. Fluid piano lines float along while guitar and drums form a sparse backing.
Over the Border
Crossing the border is the way to freedom. Quiet choruses are a feature of the track, the opposite of the normal.
Winter Sun
Secrets lie in the other side of nature. Life repels and attracts us. Trumpet and Saxophone punch out the chorus lines. Falling Hammond licks run through the verse. The bridge is a quieter setting for electric guitar harmonies.
Always one more Bend
Bass and accordion lend an infectious dance beat to a song that is regular audience-joining-in pleaser. Stuttering saxophone and trumpet pecks around the edges of song.
So Many Dreams
An anthem to a wonderful Yuletide, whatever happened to the true meaning of Yuletide - before the Christians ''adopted'' and renamed this ancient festival?
Paladin
The Paladin to rescue. The legend of the hero who must triumph for there is no other to succeed him. A true solo instrumental track since Graheme plays everything you hear on this track.
