I hope everyone is fine. my brown sauce and the traditional meal was very tasty. thank you for the friendly solicitousness. under the circumstances of massive preparations, I had to do for these days, I could not investigate so much effort into new song material this week. I looked back into the past and found a mixture of fragments I liked and wanted to come up with. The first part is a reprise of something I used for a track this year before, the middle snippet is from the original rehearsal-tapes I have in my house, from the band ZYMA, which was making wild music in the early 70ies. the end is an old Sequential Circuits Drumtraks beat with a manipulated tapemachine, I did in 1998. this is a crazy mixture, I know, but I hope there is something nice in it for everyone's taste.

The first section is meditative. It even has what sounds like Tibetan monks chanting in the background? Or not, I may be making stuff up, but that's what it sounded like to me. The middle part I believe are the rehearsal tapes with the singing. These are epic!!! The singing is epic, the guitars are really going for it. It has this good old vintage rock flair that was really inspiring. The end has pretty crazy beats.

What an interesting mish mash of sounds and influences! Have good holidays!

The first section is really setting the mood for me, nice and relaxing after all the activities of last night, very grey day here today, but fits the scenery very well.  Second section has some really raw energy and interesting stereo mix.  Third section brings me back to the feel of the first and then nice finish at the end with the wild mangled luke vibert like beats.


absolutely love the crazy re-windy and percussive elements in the second half. cool rewind dialogue

An intriguingly beautiful triptych of good times and great feels! heart

A wild and heady mix of sounds.  I feel like the different sections flow into each other and transition really nicely though so it wasn't too jarring to me even though we visited some very different places.

Some wild things happening here, the psych rock middle bit took me by surprise, which was nice! Then nice beat section after, enjoyed that. Fun trip!

Considering the disparate source material, it hangs together really well. Beautiful textures and a strong sense of place in the first 1:30 to set the scene for the rest to come. Then it slowly goes somewhere completely different but in way that kind of makes sense. Damo Suzuki-ish vocals midway through. Love it. Motorik meditative drum land at the end is a real pleasure.

my vision for this is a camera slowly panning over a natural landscape, and then we move into a town into a concert hall and then into outer space, then into an alien world where robot animals and machines are taking us on a high speed journey around a beautiful planet.

I kept hearing the word "borrowed time" during the lyrical section, if English words were being spoken at all.

Awesome job!

This was like listening to an ambient dj mix from my fav local college radio station.  So many cool ventures into different genres it's like you have a space time machine.  Lovely outro with those swirls around the mellow chords.  Well done!

I'd like to think this track is like the three ghosts of A Christmas Carol with the ghost of Christmas present visiting first. I like the way the sound starts out cloudy and swirly and then seamlessly transforms to a crystal clear transparency at about 1:40. Then we hear the past with the awesome 70s sounds. Very psychedelic. The final ghosts arrives with the Sequential Circuits Drumtraks which was maybe futuristic in the 80s smile  Thanks for another trip through the ages.  Happy the brown sauce worked out. 

There's a lot of nostalgia in the first half and super psyche with the band snippets.  The beat stuff at the end is great!  Super tasty.  Did you program the drum machine??  It sounds hyper modern for an old machine.

Perfect after-dinner tune.
