Of course, I thought I had listened already but that was when it had the Vaisvil treatment.
Sort of head tossing hair everywhere tempo.
Liking the sound effects too.
@ Shirt: Thanks! Those sounds are from a matched set of "vibratones". The first sound is from an "ocean drum" (with reverb) and the final drone is from a "spring drum". The click sounds in the groove are a Japanese "Kokiriko" and a steel "Merengue guiro".
Merengues are fast arrangements with a 2/4 beat, originating from the Dominican Republic. The traditional instrumentation includes a "güira" (guiro), which is a percussion instrument that sounds like a scrapper. The Merengue güira is a cylinder…

I dont think I have heard you play the Guiro on any of your tracks before. I really like it. It seems to ground the whole song and bring it together. Kinda sounds like a brush on the trap
2009 Record Production Month Challenge offering. Very pleased with the collective results. The title came from my friend Zane. His iced tea was in a damaged cup. Thus the title. There are various quotes in the song including some from Mishima…

A song that came to me when I was fishing in the rain with some of my Mamainde buddies. The Mamainde is a small endangered Amazonian tribe of 230 people in west-central Brazil. This song attempts to tell their story…
Poor old Reg is feeling a bit insignificant after being unseen by a woman he liked the look of who turned out to be only interested in the material things she could get.....it's a shame but there seems to be a lot of them out there and Love doesn…
Well, the guitar was a good strategy... guitarists always gets the girl! But don’t show up with your bongos:
Q: What do you call a good-looking girl on the arm of a percussionist?
A: A tattoo.
to cheer himself up Reg thought he'd go down the Casino and see if he could find those riches at the roulette table...so he borrowed some money of Big Ed and suited himself up and away he went....but it didn't quite go to plan and now he has to…
OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…

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 love your long productions... this one is a bit un-nerving.
Perfect listen for what I am doing today. Quite an impressive effort producing a piece of this magnitude. Thanks!
Awesome!
Nice demonstration of the glissando technique on the conga drum.
If I close my eyes I am almost at the SoHo Lounge...
Excellent!
Great to hear some more stuff from you!
Lovely clave pattern on the snare(?). Great song.
You guys are excellent.
Sounds just like Tamer Hosny.
Well, the guitar was a good strategy... guitarists always gets the girl! But don’t show up with your bongos: Q: What do you call a good-looking girl on the arm of a percussionist? A: A tattoo.
You are a high-roller, Reg. Great stuff!
Lots of great imagery and space created with this!
Beautiful!
Dreamy!
A happy ending Reg?
Dreamy chorus.
Strong work, team! Love the keys.
9/10 "in tune".
Merry Christmas Reg.
