Re-mixed and re-mastered version of this little ditty about the relentlessness of working life

New version of a very old (1990) song. A reasonably accurate account of a strange few days with a young lady I knew back then.

download the vocal and use it in a remix, please message when you goto upload if you plan on doing a remix with my vocals. Thanks.

Improvisation based very loosely on the chord progression for "Four On Six."

Don't remember the improvisation seed for this one either.

Don't remember what the improvisation seed was for this one... more of a "Let's do another Asymptotic Taste album, shall we?"

Improvisation based on a chord progression of root-5-9 chords

Improvisation based on the "Hendrix chord" (7#9)
Uploaded
Improvisation very (VERY) loosely based on the chord progression for jazz tune "Move."
Uploaded
This one was improvised based on mostly playing harmonics 12 frets above the fretted note.
Uploaded
The improvisation concept behind this was to only change one note at a time out of a group of three, slowly morphing the tune, except for a couple times that I forgot what I was doing.
Uploaded
This used the grain delay in Guitar Rig to get the shimmery sound in the background. Otherwise I don't remember what the actual improvisation thread was.

Sometimes you just look at your capo and think... hey, I aint used you for a while - its rough and sloppy but hey... just like me!

Short(?) intro to the album; counterpoint to the extended outro "Mantra 2"
Uploaded
I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.

I only need one good take. And since this is going in as MIDI, “one good take” just means that it needs to be mostly right. And jeebs, today was a day where I…

While the name of the song is a Spinal Tap reference, this one is almost a period piece, taking us back to the early 80s when record players and mixtapes were how we listened to and shared our music.

This song's about that guy in the band who really can't play and just doesn't get any better, but pays for studio time, buys the gear, springs for beer, and owns the van. You always have to think twice about kicking the guy out with all the money!

The musician's anthem! This song hits on a Beatnik Turtle theme about not wanting to work (see our first RPM album: All In A Day's Work). Instead, all you want to do is bang on the drums all day. And yet, work, life, and the inevitable day job…

Lyrics:
I read a love letter that you wrote to me.

Your love ain’t nothing…

Babe, if I may be so bold

Well you look like…
