Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!

oh man, I really like this one. I had attempted a tune with this perc track using samples of other kitchen sounds but could never get it right. This sounds really good . nice collab guys !

The most excellent thing about this, besides your trade-mark sweet stringing, is how you phrased this so very differently than I had ever heard it. That's one of the charms of rhythm - how you hear it depends upon where you are starting from. I think I much prefer your ear to mine with this one. Many thanks.

Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!

I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!

Here's the original track.
At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…

This is another composition from the early 90, and also a bass line. I added some arrengements to it, and it was, eventually, the third part of a long 'spacial' suite called 'Mars'. I could upload the 'part one' bass line one day, which I think…

Comments on Rick Phillips's stuff
Deep songwriting. I like it. It sets a real mood.
Beautiful sound
This guitar's a real roller :] Travellin' without movin', you don't need anything else than that :]
Wicked! This is a new horizon for me, like it :]
Beautiful job Rick! That new axe is sounding great!
Really liking what you have done here, it's great.
This is brilliant - I love the blend between your awesome guitar and Normy's fine cabinetry masterpiece!
oh man, I really like this one. I had attempted a tune with this perc track using samples of other kitchen sounds but could never get it right. This sounds really good . nice collab guys !
Thats the beauty of collaboration 1+1>2 Thanks Norm
like those cool ethnic drum lines you had playing with the acoustic guitar, the ending mini-jam was impressive!
excellent synthesis of acoustic instruments complimenting each other perfectly!

Very nicely done... The perfect addition to Norm's outstanding use of cabinetry. Great job, Rick!
very nice percussion and guitar blend
3 nice change ups here and good guitar flow and tone though the whole piece Rick.
Nice crystal clear samples, dropped in at perfect times. ideal for this percussion track
Really nice sound, everything works well together :)
Man, excellent. I feel like I'm suspended in an wild place...thanks for the comment on my song. Ed was a friend of mine, and I miss his rage at the machine...adios RJ
