Thank God!... Something up-beat. One of my colleagues has THE party of the year on Labor Day weekend every year, and I play around the bonfire from dusk until everyone is unconscious... and the ladies like to dance.

I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.

Short(?) intro to the album; counterpoint to the extended outro "Mantra 2"

still ain't done, but wanted to share progress. really grateful for the feedback. thanks!

I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.

Sprachgeist is a German term meaning the "spirit of language". This one ties into the theme from 2009's RPM Challenge Album. (Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets).

Self-explanatory. Sorry if it breaks your speakers :)
