Witch Hunting – another track from Advice to the Wayfarer

themadpride — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 03:26:56 +0000

I just uploaded another track from my 4th album ‘Advice to the Wayfarer’. It’s called ‘Witch Hunting’. Allegedly it sounds a little like ‘medieval psychedelia’. I’m pretty happy with that. I’ve recently been informed that there is a baroque style of composition at the core of my songwriting. I guess that could explain all the medieval comparisons.

Lee Lucas recently wrote reviews for my first 2 albums. His support on Soundcloud and wonderful comments have been a regular source of encouragement for me. I’d never really considered my music to be ‘prog’ but it was great to be described as ‘acoustic prog folk bliss’. You can read the full reviews at:

I uploaded a new song to Soundcloud and so far it’s been compared to David Bowie, Queensrÿche & Uriah Heep. I can’t say I’m influenced by any of them as I haven’t heard much of their music. I’ve been making an effort to listen to Bowie more recently though… just to understand the comparisons really.

Playing With Fire is from my 4th album Advice to the Wayfarer. I’m a little late posting it here but things have been crazy lately. 7 of the people who have commented on it on Soundcloud have likened it to David Bowie. It’s also been described as ‘dreamlike’, ‘atmospheric’ and ‘brooding grandeur’. I’m pretty happy with that. Oh, yeah, and here’s the song:

New Track: Prometheus – from ‘Advice to the Wayfarer’

This is another new track from my forthcoming album ‘Advice to the Wayfarer’.

So far, comparisons have been made to David Bowie, Nick Cave, The Church and Andrew Lloyd Webber. As for genre, people have called it psychedelic, deathrock and low rock. I had fun looking into ‘deathrock’ as it’s a genre I’m not particularly familiar with.

Barrie Moore recently reviewed my music on his Bearly Rambling blog. I particularly enjoyed the part where he wrote:
“The Mad Pride (or Rowan Galagher) is almost a one man Pink Floyd.” http://bearlyrambling.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/mad-pride.html

Andy from Mojophenia wrote some very kind words about my music describing it as:
“Inspiring and thought provoking psychedelia”.
