Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…

As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…

I dreamed I met a Galilean;
A most amazing man.
He had that look you very rarely find:
The haunting, hunted kind.
I asked him to say what had happened,
How it all began.
I asked again, he never said a word.
As if he hadn't heard.

Typical Desirea. He must have had more money than you did... and heaven only knows what horrors he eventually had to go through with her. Just be grateful that *you* dodged that bullet, and Reg, *let this be a leason for you.*
Reg has nipped down the cellar tonight to contemplate the big question...this is what he came up with ...he could be wrong who knows...and now he's going for a nice hot bath...............

Great cover of a great song. Well done team!
Superb album! Many thanks!
The synth work is heavenly. I want to do the percussion for the car chase scene in the Savage gangster movie.
Totally pro.
Yes, very impressive! Great stuff.
Totally pro. Dig it!
Beuatiful collaboration, gents.

Way to go in 2/4!
This would be a big hit in the Dominican Republic. Nice work, mon.

Good cover and good riddance!
