@Ed: You're welcome & thank you! @vaisvil: It's an SCI Six Trak. Yamaha CS-series are awesome. I love what Vangelis did with his 70(?). It's all over the Blade Runner soundtrack. Killer stuff.

Thanks for the nice comments - I am digging the synth!

love the sound of your synth here - reminds me lot of the old CS-10 I once had a very long time ago. http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/cs10.php

Thank you for the comments. I don't often comment here anymore but I do want to answer your Rhodes question. I believe Ben uses a Yamaha Motif. The clarinets are real. I'd love to hear your new age version of Stairway - that would be grand!

*click* Instant fave! I love this! w;-)

@ACL: Thank you. I'm quite taken with it myself. I have to remind myself (lest my head get too fat & swollen) that my muse creates these, not I. I simply recreate in the real world what she's singing in my head. :) Thanks for listening.

@facemask93: Woah! That is a huge compliment! Thank you. Wendy Carlos is one of my massive heroes.

@Wrinkled: Thanks. It's all done on one analog synth, the classic SCI Six Trak. Three other tracks on this album were realized in the same manner. :)

Sounds subliminal, tasty bits of washing synths. nice stuff.

This is so good , reminds me of switched on Bach

I love the melody. w;-)

Very cool! w;-)

Diggin the synths.....nice open feel.

Sinister.....

this is rather nice too though

sorry fallingup, i love this much more than those 3

@slugg: Heh heh. I see what do did there. Thanks for listening!

Well then, this is a surprise! Thanks to all who have listened & thanks for reading this comment. I must say that this (sigh) is not my favorite track on this album. Give http://alonetone.com/fallingupart/tracks/angry-angel a whirl, or perhaps http://alonetone.com/fallingupart/tracks/cloud-watching or http://alonetone.com/fallingupart/tracks/sylvan-repose Thanks again!

Love the woodwinds

I really like this song! Great harmonies

Did you try turning it off and then on again? Nice John Carpenter vibe on lo-fi ROMpler Casios? I see what you did there.

@G-Guest: A reply hefted into the past by six years: Just wait until you reach track 80.

Cool setting for an awesome poem. Thanks for sharing! :)

Interesting alternate tuning there. :)

That's some heavy-duty office intrigue. Dig the backwards guitar.

Interesting stripped-down version, Reg. Great authentic vocal. You weren't holding Mr. Waits prisoner in the basement, now, were you? ;)

Hey, what are you trying to pull here, mister? I already listened to this on RPM! Tee hee. Nice one. I'm ineptly playing along on harmonica. :)

But I don't know the words. :( It's catchy, though.

What's supplying the percussion? It sounds as if it's an old analog drum machine, but played live?

Laughing me arse off. Good stuff, Reg. :)

Brief, but awesome. Lovin' it.

1:46 OMFG. Nice harmonies followed with crazy hoedown riffing! 8) The lyrics are hilarious, too.

Hee hee hee! The band name is AWESOME. Lovin' it. Oh my--bluegrass hip-hop? Could it really be?

I really enjoy the ascending "acoustic guitar" line about 20 seconds in (and all the sequenced falderal which surrounds it). Well, it isn't really falderal--I just can't think of a more suitable word!

This captures perfectly how incredibly creepy falling in love can be.

I keep hearing songs about meteor- or star-gazing after going out to view the Perseids on two recent nights. Hmmm. This song captures the experience perfectly in a decidedly folksy manner; unfortunately, real life had far less of the Venus action going on.

In response to your rhetorical question, not mad at all. ;) I'm glad you did it.

James, why so many versions? I'm not complaining; they're all very good listening.

Oh, I'm not sure those are steel drums at all. What the heck are they? Awesome, in any event.

Good, solid blues! Dig it. Color me ignorant--I do not know the original. *googles* Oh, it's Clapton. I hang my head in shame! Great job, FDR.
