Fade Out
With the advent of CD burners become cheaper, I was drawn to the technology of music recording. In the past, I had used a four-track recorder but never had really been happy with the results. Through having a full time job, I had a little more cash and so I bought a kit that enabled me to record onto my PC and turn it into a digital 16-track system. So Fade In/Fade Out is what I consider to be my first proper collection of tunes.
The idea behind this collection was to record some guitar-based instrumentals without using a drum machine. Being never totally happy with my own drum patterns, I decided to ditch them and use the rhythm guitar as the metronome. So you have a much stripped down sound and a much more personal recording as I haven't got any real FX or drum rhythms to hide behind. You could call it my "naked" album.
This is a very important collection for me, because this one defines how I was going to move forward musically. Stand out tracks include 'The Return of Carter', 'Lost on the Wind' and 'The Road Never Ends'.
