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

When you
come back to us
won't you please
do your best

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
with guitar by Michael "Iggy" McAdams
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 track has the best drum work I've heard from you Paul. Are you playing a midi kit or programming by hand? The fill at 1:11 is super tight. Okay, I'm inspired! Gonna go lock myself in the music room for the night....
Love the beginning of this... favorited just from the piano riff & then that muted horn sound comes in too! So tasty...
So is this gonna be an instrumental album? I might have to steal this track when we're done with November!
Seriously man, this one of my all-time favorite things I ever heard from you -- and that my friend is saying something!
Hey this is supposed to be a solo album project! No fair, you brought Noah and all those Guardians of the sky! You know I love this one! The ending reminds me of a Sphongle track. Have you ever heard those dudes?
Dudes! Do you know there is over 4 minutes and 20 seconds of silence at the end of this track? I sat through all of it thinking there was some sort of bonus cut coming or something... (but I'm a dork like that) Anyway, I understand not wanting to hassle with fixing clams and such, but you could at least lop off the last third of the track that contains no music?! :-) Oh, by the way, did I say KILLER TRACK! Love your tones, guys! Looking forward to hearing more. More notes, less silence! :-)
drowning in a sea of vaseline
alive or dead or somewhere in between
sit very still and read a magazine
wash and wash but never get it clean
it must be true I saw it on the screen
painting all the roses for the queen
don't eat that you don…
A story about waking up from a nightmare only to find you're in another nightmare. Told in a eerie, floaty downtempo breakbeat voice, shining a flashlight upward on my face for extra creepiness.
Recursive dreams are really bizarre.
This is…
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
You have done your influences proud with this one! Great mix of all the instruments creates a nice wall of sound without sounding at all cluttered. Well done!
Well the new women in Regs life became the keeper and his wife and they lived happily ever after...well up to now anyway...Reg can never seem to keep the pessimistic thoughts totally at bay but he was trying...He felt reborn on the birth of his…
Well Reg has finally had some good luck he's stopped drinking or at least for a while and a beautiful girl has walked into his life ..is she the one?
Love is in the Air (Lyrics)
I couldn’t believe my luck as she walked in through the door
wandered…
Here's number 08 in the saga of Reg……………..Reg has been so down since he stopped drinking…….he feels so alone he's gone and done something stupid…..but luckily he was found by the postman unconscious on the steps leading to his bedsit….the postman…
Heres Track 5 for the RPM carry on with the Saga of Reg......Well after his night of falling of the wagon Reg has realized that he needs to get his head together and stop...but how....he needs help....desperately .......
What Have I Done Where…
another highly creative track from the prolific mind of the Reg(s)... I really like your use of percussion on these last couple of tracks. What are you using for these sounds, Trev?
Well Reg has fell off the wagon and wants to party on……theres no looking back……it's full on ….PARTY!!!
Party On (Lyrics)
Yeah i feel good i’m ready to get it on
i feel like i’ve been dead. i been gone so long
my mind is alive and im ready rock…
Reg is contemplating his future and how to change................So he got the acoustic out and perused the idea.....
The Hurricane (Lyrics)
I stand in the window looking back at me
trying to understand where i got it wrong
how my life could…
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!

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 is not a song one can approach lightly. You've done good, Keith!

Wow, I want to see the movie that goes with all these killer soundtrack pieces. Damn dude. Rock on!
Marching o'er EPIC vistas with this one... but I like how you make time for a side trip to funkytown too!

diggin the vibe
Great little tune!!
We gotta do another track one of these days, Jim.
Love it!

Hey Reg, major accomplishment this year with this epic concept album! Thanks for sharing your music.
hope at last
Like Andrew, I'm hoping this tale has a happy ending... not looking too good for old Reg right now...
another highly creative track from the prolific mind of the Reg(s)... I really like your use of percussion on these last couple of tracks. What are you using for these sounds, Trev?
The intertwining lead guitars on the breaks remind me of The Bevis Frond.
What a heavy opening track, Reg! Wow, I can tell this is gonna be an epic album. Great acoustic sounds, btw...
Really enjoyed your RPM disc -- hope to hear more of your music here on alonetone!
I dig this opening track... some of your sounds among the layers and some of your vocal phrasing reminds me of Spiritualized. (nice!)
