Sometimes it's easier to run with the flawed routines we're familiar with than to turn over a new leaf..
Compare to "Firecracker" and "Livewire" from RPM 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Interesting,saw you hit on one of my tunes but hearing this I think you'd find Awakenings and Morning Prayer a better suit.These two songs and I have a few more are unrehearsed unplanned and totally spontanious, from one single improvised session. I know it's rough and primitive however it was picked right out of the cosmos
Format Sea - Part Two
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…

The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.
This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.
This initially had started out as my attempt to do a basic electronica track - I sort of failed miserably at this. (Like most music I program, it ultimately begins to sound like 'not electronica' by the end, for better or worse.)
The re-recording…
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
Brilliantly pieced together. Awesome track!
Whoa love how this starts
Cool, great prog rock track, I like extended works.
Wow! Thanks to Tess for pointing this one out. Great piece of work! Mix sounds really good in cans
An 8 minute adventure - just great! Love the traditional folk flavours in your melody.
I always wanted to do something that sounded like this. Sounds awesome!

really dig the textures in this one, nice work.
Cool atmospherics
Neat, interesting in places, love the concept of perpetual change.
What a bloody good mix , i love it
sooo dope love the melody changes
very clever.
Hahaha wicked!!
Some freaky moments
Gentle and soothing, like the odd weird noises too, cool.
Nice off beat feel to this, quite haunting and strange. Like it.
I know that fence. Liking these beckoning beats!
This track does it for me , totally excellent , love the percussion , love everything
Very nicely produced track , dripping with so many tasty sounds , love it

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.
