Xerses Lander II

My good friend Bobby Bergland visited recently and laid down some beautiful vocals for last week's track.  They were so nice, I decided to re-purpose them in a brand new completely different track.  This time we go on an epic space journey.  In the spirit of recycling I also utilized some parts of a recording I did on a 4-track cassette recorder back in 2003.  Additionally I made a few field recordings on my phone and used those, too.

Far out.

Very much in the (old) Star Trek spirit.

So nice. I enjoyed that sonic journey. Was really nice to hear those vocals more prominent in this weeks song. I feel like i got a lot of work done while this was playing, so I'm playing it again now.

  I can kind of picture Captain Kirk hooking up with some alien floozy with this playing in the background.

  Yeah, I liked how the vocals worked in the context of last week's song (which they were originally recorded for), but I thought they deserved a chance to be a little more in the spotlight as well.

just fantastic!! Very good plan to bring out this stuff. 100% psychedelic.

  Thanks!  It helps to have some cool raw material to draw from like Bobby vocals and old crazy 4-track recordings!

Wonderful track, with a lovely psychedelic feel, made my sunny sunday morning even brighter.

Hey thanks! 

Really cool vocal harmonies floating in and out with the pulsing guitar and synths.  I agree with cfurrow, lots of interesting ear candy throughout smile
