Lesley Rae Dowling EP - Feat. Jonathan Butler.

So many good mixes to choose from.

As the 2020 Lesley Rae Dowling (LRD) re-mix project moves onto the sixth release, we have decided we want to make the next release an EP; because we liked two very different mixes we and want to release them both.

This time it is the Jonathan Butler production of a somewhat overlooked track from the When the Night Comes album, called Love will be there. The new version is renamed, Love's gonna be there in the End. Lesley wrote this song with her friend, Matt Haus.

This is one of the few LRD recordings with none of her piano playing to be heard on the final release. Although she would have prepared the song with a piano guide, Jonathan simplified the main piano track and added layers of synths.

Terence (Tully) McCullagh has done a major re-work of the song by taking out a lot of the keyboards and adding several guitars along with featuring Jonathan's guitar tracks more prominently in the new mixes. The result is that we have a guitar heavy mix and one mix lighter on guitars but with plenty of effects.

For comparison, track three of the EP is a re-mastered version of Kevin Shirley's mix of the song taken from the initial release from 1986.

The tracks are to be available on the 10th of October, coincidentally both Jonathan and Lesley's birthday!

McCully/Mackay Prog Rock project

Terence McCullagh aka. Tully McCully, has pulled in keyboard specialist Gordon Mackay to partner with him on his first solo album. Tully and Gordon have performed together in McCully Workshop, but what they are offering this time is very different to the sort of music they do in their band. Tully started out recording this new material on his own and then saw that it would be appropriate to have an instrument that is featured in solos and special parts of the songs. Tully is a multi-instrumentalist with bass and guitar being his specialities. Adding Gordon, who is classically schooled and a virtuoso electric keyboard player, provided just the right additional elements required for the musical style they are recording.
