A couple of months ago I came up with a couple of things that used polyrhythms. The drums were in one time signature and everything else was in another. I had some fun with it then and tried it again and... well, I got pretty bored with it really…

I wasn't sure about this one on first listen (your stuff about polyrhythms was making me think too much... then I remembered I'd forgotten something with work, so I had to deal with that while the track carried on)... when I got back I couldn't think of anything to say... so I hit play again and, woah!, it really grabbed me... then I realised I wasn't counting trying to figure out the funny rhythm - I'd just accepted it and it sounds really cool. Sounds like the hand's recovered too?

I'm really tired right now so this mix might sound awful and I won't know. Also, 50/90 might be hitting a snag in that I have a bit of an injury to my left hand. It's not getting better and while recording the leads on this puppy it was affecting…

Wooo! Another fab chorus.... oh crumbs, hand problem?? It's two days later now... hopefully it's healing.

A couple of unusual things with this one. There's an overdrive pedal in there that I've never used before. Meaning, I had never even plugged it in before. I bought it like six months ago and it sat on my dresser just waiting for me to play…

Hehe - another "big smile on my face" track. I nearly choked on my sandwich when it went "Now Listen To The Angels"

What’s on your mind Are you losing confidence Someone’s been unkind And caring becomes a consequence Look for a reason to smile The Sun will shine your way Look for a reason to smile And watch the clouds drift away Feeling like you…

HOLY SMOKES. It's almost unbelievable what Ken's managed to do to the original track. Loved the original too, but wowsers

Jim first time I heard this last weekend event I think, I wasn't identifying the clarinet though as many of your 'outside the box' pieces, the inheritness of the vehicle will often be entirely different. In rehearing tonight the horn is very present to me albeit continuing to be beyond it. Dark and ghostly colors sir. Thank you btw for the comment on 'Pieces'. I wish Alonetone would allow replies but this is another way of doing it and spreading the listens.

Nice, a little Beatle sounding which is a good thing to me!! I like the way you double tracked your voice..at least that's what it sounds like..... did you sing it twice or just used computer magic? love it!!

I've been listening to a lot of [hiroshi yoshimura](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7aYjRl_6Zw). This is played on my Wurlitzer. The other instruments are a prototype version of the additive synth I'm building where you can control the ADSR…

My credo belongs to this and many of your songs. The only old songs are the ones that have been on the top of charts. Everything else is brand new, mostly unheard and on it's way to the charts. You have great music. I hit the strip like the super ego driven organ grinder monkey I am. Nothing can truly put words to the experiences of 76 to 96 and so on
