Title:
Artists: Teddy Graham/Joe Meek
Album:

 I keep going back to this tune. I have recorded this song many different times over the years. This is the latest version. It might not be the best version but it is the latest version. I hope that the picture gives credit where credit is due. This great piece of rock instrumental history was written by Joe Meeks and performed by his house band,The Tornados. The tragic story of Joe Meeks underscores the sad consequence of what happens ,all too often,when one mixes drugs and guns. But enough about that. I love this tune because it is progressive in  that it encourages a possitive view of the future (something we could all use these days).

-All the Best,Teddy

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

I remember the original so I think original and good interpretation but for my taste a bit to fast.

Super job! Like the original, like this one too.

Very creative use of Houston launch command voices in the intro.

 

Well done.

Cheers,

In case you can't tell, this makes me so happy! I've loved this song since the first time I heard it, (which for some reason was not until fairly recently). In fact, I seriously considered doing my own rendition of it...probably a mandolin cover. We'll see if that happens in the next month or two.

Anyway, I'd like to hear your other versions. For me, this one has too much build-up/fade-out, and not enough of the beautiful melodies. But I do love your guitar sound - very true to the original, yet with your personality too. 

I don't typically give ratings, but this had to get 5 stars, mainly because it was such a pleasant surprise.

Oh, fun fact: One of the guitarists in The Tornados is the father of Matt Bellamy (singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist in the band Muse).
