They are making a really great sounding point to point wired 5 watt Class A amplifier at a very reasonable price. It's a combination of a tube guitar amp and a high quality recording preamp in one package. I've tried one and it does indeed sound great. Highly recommended. Check out the specs at their website here. http://www.douglasamps.com]]>info@neilclark.comNews2008-04-13T18:23:40-04:00http://www.neilclark.com/News/files/62e561678424fab7f2685261b283f51b-6.html#unique-entry-id-6http://www.neilclark.com/News/files/62e561678424fab7f2685261b283f51b-6.html#unique-entry-id-6Been getting an increasing number of requests for Tab charts of my guitar parts for Commotions songs. So, thanks to Ray and everyone else who asked, I've added some guitar parts for a few tunes to the TABS page.

The group was, myself - guitars, Chris Thomson - words, voice and guitars and Stephen Irvine - drums. Mark Bedford of Madness occasionally played bass and Douglas Muirden occasionally played keys. We signed to Island and released one album called Fortuny but as is sometimes the case I think the demos were better. So I've just posted 5 of them on the DOWNLOADS page.
Chris and I often talk about another collaboration and we are at it again so, you never know. ]]>info@neilclark.comNews2008-03-28T13:09:31-04:00http://www.neilclark.com/News/files/d4e4ccac4d43bd1de55142712333edfd-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.neilclark.com/News/files/d4e4ccac4d43bd1de55142712333edfd-3.html#unique-entry-id-3I just downloaded Robert Forster's song Pandanus for his upcoming album The Evangelist. It's available as a digital download from his recording company site. The album just got a 5 star review in Uncut magazine in the UK. It's out end of April. Here's the link for the download, http://store.yeproc.com/album.php?id=13323 and here's a link to RF's Evangelist page on his site, http://www.robertforster.net/rfevangelist.html. This is Robert's first post Go-Betweens release and the song is really good.

I toured with Robert, Robert Vickers and Grant McLennan (the other Go-Betweens on the bus) a few years back. Robert Vickers and I were playing together in Lloyd Cole's backing group and Robert Forster and Grant McLennan were opening as an acoustic duo. I have many great memories from that outing and news of Grant's passing in 2006 was shocking and saddening. I'll always remember his warmth as a person and his love of life, literature and songs. A great songwriter with friends all over the world. He is very fondly remembered.
