RPM 2015 Feb. 18 update: I cut a new vocal for this one which is an improvement, but this mix is still not right. Dunno if I'll have time to fix it before the deadline... (This is the full length track as opposed to the truncated version with…

Psychonaut adrift
in the hazy realm
of confusion
When you
come back to us
won't you please
do your best
to remember
where you've been
to remember
what you've learned
Psychonaut, o psychonaut
adrift upon…
Don't let me down

Like so many times before
I know there'll be so many more
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I know my enemy by name
Survival is a deadly game
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

I Saw It Today
--
Dancin' here at the end of the world,
we're just dancin' here
I saw it today it was there for me,
it was there for me to see
That's the way it has to be
Seven Sisters

Seven Sisters in the sky
known from days gone by
Seven Sisters of the drum
Seven Sisters seen by night
shining ancient light
Seven Sisters of days to come

They Don't Let Go
--
They don't let go
no they don't let go
you think you'll walk away
They don't let go
no they don't let go
no matter what you pay
Don't no they don't
no they never let go…
I like this head-out-of-the-box composing style. Groovy sounds. This one moves me. Nicely driven beat with the bass, sweet wah wah guitar, and drums tossed out the window. I TRULY love this!!!

Ah hell no, now this is just too groovy! This one caught me by surprise, it's not the sound or genre I'm use to from you, but it's freaking fabulous! Great job -- gorgeous!

Hold The Nighttime

Hold the nighttime just as close as you can. Get to know it. Yeah, make it your friend. Taste the darkness and you'll understand. The moon reflects the light on the land. But not everything is what it seems... in this dream…
Golden Days

Golden days, golden days are ahead of me
Goin' where the wind don't blow so cold
Endless Summer, soothe my soul
Where the streets are lined with gold
Golden days, golden days are ahead of me

I love this track... rambling is right! I'm loving the deconstruction going on from about 6 minutes in. *Stellar* minimalist soundscape you've created here. ;-) Well done!
My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
2011 according to Regs research was pretty shit for most apart from the couple from England......it thought i would use a Chinese theme to the music being that they own it and it was the year they were able to buy most of it cheap.....note to…
This is the second song from this amazing collaboration with Michael Thomas of Cave Street.

It's not a Cave Street collab. but rather a project by Thomas - Lennon.
I do the music and mixing. Michael does…
12/30/2011 - Happy Birthday, my friend! The title of this track is exactly how I feel about doing more collabs with you! Hope you have a fantastic day & an awesome new year!
400 BULLETS
400 guns. 400 bullets.
400 babies in the grave.
You got your New Pearl Harbor
Now it’s time for a new Passover.
400 guns

400 babies in the grave.

Hard rock song about losing faith....
Lyrics:
I'M GOING DOWN
Sedate it with barbiturates
Inject it with a needle
Calm this stirring anger
That I always feel
Lord, where are you
You've mocked my every prayer
Everything around…
An excellent song, I especially like the breakdown after the electric lead, it gets a bit psychedelic. Your vocal seemed tentative at first, but post solo you're singing like you mean it.

Winter Solstice

When the G days are short, and the C evening’s so D long
And the C wind is D shaking the G trees
When the cold snow crunches C beneath your D feet
And your C cheeks are D…
another one from last RPM season that never got flushed out. we do play this regularly in practice and have played it in a few gigs as a intro jam for the second set. kind of reminds me of neil young meets the allman bros.
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
If John was still with us, he would have wished he wrote this one.
Cool song!
nice !
spaced
I like the beat, and feel of this song. Nice.
Excellent..hope this will be longer.?

What a delightful, tasty mix of vocals, well mastered. FABULOUS!
Ah hell no, now this is just too groovy! This one caught me by surprise, it's not the sound or genre I'm use to from you, but it's freaking fabulous! Great job -- gorgeous!
Did I ever tell you how much I adore Cave Street? Oh yea, I have. So many time before. Of course, there will be many more.
Instant fav. I so love your vox man. Nice guitar playin'. Yeah! Jammin' M.T.
Oh . . . this is good.
Pleasant and delightful.
"(Hint: it’s neither of those)." -- and it's not a Beatles cover either! ;) Nice melody on the lead guitar. Cool vocals.
Woo - creepy. Love it.
Golden! ;)
Nice Creative Approach. RPM will bring that out in a person. Very refreshing!
Sweet guitar playin' man. I can't wait for my Golden Days. I think it comes with my AARP membership card. :)
Nice rollin' droning !
For some reason I find myself agreeing 100% with what Gene Eric Mann said about this song, as if he were me!

This reminds me of California Guitar Trio, one of my favorite groups... This is beautiful, man.
I'm a sucker for a flanger, what can I say? Heavy tension in this one... another plus. You got vocals in mind?
Hey Kirk, thanks for listening. As always, I appreciate your comments. I'd love to hear an acoustic & pipe RPM from you.... any plans??
*F'N HEAVY, dude* Here's to 2012!
12/30/2011 - Happy Birthday, my friend! The title of this track is exactly how I feel about doing more collabs with you! Hope you have a fantastic day & an awesome new year!
*beautiful track*
what are you using for this spacious reverb sound?
nice
Woah, I missed this stuff! Damn, JMT... What can I say?? Keep rockin!
*Dig it!*
An excellent song, I especially like the breakdown after the electric lead, it gets a bit psychedelic. Your vocal seemed tentative at first, but post solo you're singing like you mean it.
Well done, indeed!
I hear ol Neil in there for sure! good stuff
*faved*
Nice groove! I need to check out the Mashine.
beautiful track!
Neat track! Thanks for sharing this special memory!
Nice version guys, great vocals, Stu! I'd like to hear more of your interpretations of alonetoner material.
Thanks Norm!!
