Based on the age-old concept that a person is born anew every seven years. It's technically meant in terms of physiology - you develop all new bones/muscle/fat in a seven year period. I kind of add a spiritual/alien abduction…
An electronic track from the Dead In The Water sessions. I thought the Last FM version was missing something, so I went in to fine-tune it.
This is the end-result of that fine-tuning.
The track deals with how there are usually no easy outs…

Cool Indeed! the vocals have a clarity that is true to the original idea and I love the tangential approach. Great stuff. Listened three times and still grinning!
"In a reformatted world with deleted people, there are still enough dead links that some individuals might indirectly be aware of the existence of those deleted. To everybody else, they'd seem either spiritual and/or mentally imbalanced…
with the manipulated concertina/accordion and the harpsichord and synths, i was going to try and describe this, but i think you say it best in the about section.
Even the cosmos needs system maintenance. When its IT department decides to delete something, sometimes that something doesn't want to go without a fight. Even computer viruses will do what they can to avoid the reaping hand of a virus checker…
Oh crap - somebody broke the multiverse. I should have known those #?%! black holes were a serious security flaw.
We were really meaning to fix that, but never got around to it. (It would have cut into our golf time.)
This was my very first attempt at recording , done on two tracks , me picking and vox , AK rhythm , then me adding a harmony vocal , a bit basic but a Traffic song i've allways loved
Do you have any tricks you use to get the stereo vocals mixed well? It seems like every time I try, I bungle it up. I'm astounded how well lined-up the vocals on the left and right are. They're timed perfectly to each other.

The stereo vocal effect you use on this track is fantastic. I have a TV set I use for my computer monitor, and the left/right division is very clear, but the two voices mesh nearly perfectly.
This is my favorite one of the bunch - it's eclectic enough to hold my attention for a full five minutes. That's pretty impressive, considering my limited attention spa-- hey look, a bunny! (wanders away)
A true story about some of my odd dreams
If the world's strongest man
Could hold the world in the palm of his hand
Would he crush us all into dust?
As a way to punish us
These are the kind of things
That seem to occupy me
If a giant…
I've heard rumors about the vocal recording technique you use, but you have to hear it to believe it. That's really nice -- encompassing stereo effect..
I love the glitchy electronic stew you create here. (British accents and dogs make everything better.)
It reminds me a little bit of the "Magic Medicine" track from Incubus.
i like this song as a song but i have NO DAMNED IDEA how to arrange, perform, or record it. acoustic it's missing intensity. i can't make it work with drums and bass. this version with electric gtr and kbds is barely listenable. if there's one…
A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.
Any Landing
Learning…
Lyrics:
Skip ahead to her in pants,
watch her dance in the living room
in front of all the other dinner guests.
She thumbs her nose at simulacra,
but someone must play Cleopatra
in the PTA's yearly drama fest.
Her husband broke his body…
This is catchy -- the instruments sound crisp and clear.
If you're planning on doing any after-February rework on it, you may just want to change up the reverb on the vocals slightly, to get it to blend in more with the instrumental part.
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
Comments on AMUC's stuff
Wow mate I listened to your whole 24 hr album, what a trip some cool sounds happening in here. Great job well done.
Give me a second. I just gotta catch my breath here.
Ooh 1.42 of great stuff! Would love to hear more!
Hahaha! I love it when I'm taken to experiences/events without warning! Thank you! (I can't believe I nearly missed your project!)
yes, the flood! Really enjoying your 24h! Congrats!
love that synth sound
Nice. Mix seems fine here. I cranked it up so the neighbors could hear. : ) They all think I'm weird so this really helped.
Great sounds! I like it!!
Hee hee! like it :)
Wonderful...so many flavours here, but I have to say that ethereal, forboding intro is just awesome!
Wow this is great nice job well done
Awesome how it kicks in around 2:20; great buildup.
oh yeah, this certainly moves! Nice epic piece. I'm all about the alien abduction vibe!
What sister savage said! Awesome mix in cans and I think the levels are just fine
Awesome with headphones! Love the folky vocal around 1 min 55!
Cool Indeed! the vocals have a clarity that is true to the original idea and I love the tangential approach. Great stuff. Listened three times and still grinning!
Oh very cool intro! Great re-imagining of a Gumbo classic!

i'm supposed to go practice guitar, but i can't stop listening to this album. it's captivating.
i love that patch you're using, it's sublime, you know, the gurgly one.

That's some nice clarinet playing.. (I'm guessing it's a clarinet - whatever that wind instrument is..)

Wow. This is fantastic. That mellow organ that kicks in around 3.5 mins is really pleasant.

This one flows really well. Vocally, you hit some really nice notes in the higher register.
Okay.. It sounds like the vocalist from Drivin' N Cryin' singing with Phideaux backing up on the instruments..
This has been intriguing so far - now I want to go read the original books. Vocally, it's reminding me a bit of Phideaux.
The dueling vocals work really well here..
Totally agree with the Gumbo -- this needs a music video, with low budget puppets.
So far, a very catchy album. I like the whimsical approach to electronica you take here.
I love the tempo/time signature changes here - the twists and turns really hold one's interest.

That is the most awesome synth I've ever heard.
This completely rocks. Definitely is one of those 'brainworm' sort of tunes that I'll be humming at work for the next three weeks.
I want quantum knees. That sounds cool.
This totally kicks posterior. =)
This really appeals to my Irish half. There's something about Irish folk music that brings a smile to one's face.
