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

won't you please
do your best

Psychonaut, o psychonaut

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

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

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?
I'm digging the peaks & valleys in this one, it really has an epic feel for a four minute piece... I like the ending, but I must admit I half expected you to add "...or did they?" at the last second!
She hangs a little garden
so everyone can fit in her yard
when it's time to take tea
fills it up when they're walking about
they really knew how to twist and shout
and they're always going back that way again

This is a solid little tune, catchy as can be with several unexpected twists. Would love to be able to read along with all of the lyrics - please post 'em!
Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…

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…

this is based on an improve from back in jan 75, then guitarist - chris layed this riff out and i never forgot it. it was the first time i was in a band as a bassist. the rest of the riffs are mine and everything else disastrous done in this song…
Wow, psychedelic! I dig the stereo vocals, but I'd really like to hear all the vocals panned dead center... very cool track reminiscent of B.O.C. *Rock On!*
This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…
Nice piece! I really like the tension the guitar brings in at about 2 minutes... and again at about 3 1/2 min. Also cool how you break it all down at the end.
The first of 4 tunes coming your way with
the spotlight on my friend "Michael Thomas of Cave Street"

This one is my favorite and chills me every time I hear it.
It never, ever, gets old.
Until Then (Shine…
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the nice comments, and thanks again to my friend Paul for giving me such great tunes to work with! It looks like I'll soon have internet & *my very own* computer at home again soon & will be able to get back to listening to all you fine & creative musicians! I have been missing it greatly!!
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.?
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!!!
What a delightful, tasty mix of vocals, well mastered. FABULOUS!

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!
Comments made by Cave Street
This one had the wife giggling appropriately as it went on... :-D
I hear bits where it's obviously not the "standard" tuning we've been trained to hear as "right" but this piece is quite beautiful to my ears!

Have I told you lately that I love this little piece of spontaneous composition?
excellent tune! love the subtleties of the arrangement, backing vox, acoustic lead guitar, nicely done!
Diggin it! Poi Dog Pondering meets Bob Dylan then they both get schooled by Alex Moody! :-)
excellent
A great vocal and great harp on this oh so timely recording. Thank you my friend for sharing this very important music!
... I'm digging into this space you have carved in time...
Love It!!!
nice one
Wow, psychedelic! I dig the stereo vocals, but I'd really like to hear all the vocals panned dead center... very cool track reminiscent of B.O.C. *Rock On!*
most excellent!
Chris, I love your stuff. It's most elevating, to say the very least. Thank you.
Cheers, Jarvoid!
I dig this riff and the different synth textures. I haven't heard all your stuff yet, but this one is my favorite so far!
nice one!
