Ok, deliberately misleading title out of the way…
I’ve been working on a little project for the last few days, after I suggested to Ed I produce an ambient Eno-like track featuring Phil Yates. Then Pink Ball’s thread inspired a change of heart. So it’s not ambient, and instead of Yates it features our lord of commentary, Clive Everton!
If you don’t already have access to Soundcloud, it takes 2 minutes and costs nothing.
Just try and listen on a good pair of headphones if you can - I didn’t spend much time on the mix and I’m no professional. In fact, only listen on headphones. Otherwise it’ll sound even worse than it already is.
It’s a bit of fun more than anything. Enjoy my new track “Clive”

I kind of went for something period-correct. Sort of thing you might hear in the mid 90s when Clive was doing the biz.

It came out ok considering I produced the track using an iPad. Lots of the usual processes are quite back-to-front, and you need some workarounds to get it all glued together.
I just can’t get the mental image of Clive being shafted at Wembley Arena out of my head now

I’ve got quite a few tracks finished (that are set to Private on Soundcloud because I don’t really believe in myself and get imposter syndrome) that I could rework with a snooker theme.

You can snake hiss off with that rubbish, no one wants to hear that.

Steve Davis loves Snooker, Stephen Hendry loves winning.

I want to hear a cover of ‘Insomnia’ by Faithless with Dennis commentary vocals. Lyrics would be “You can’t get your breath” instead of “I can’t get no sleep”.

Nice track. Love the ambient opening. Send it off to Steve Davis, he might plat it in his dj sets!
