Robert James's listening history
I think this is the third time I've uploaded a version of this song to this account. I also think I've been unhappy with the mix of all three. Oh well. I might remix this. I say that a lot when I post new recordings, but it might actually…

This little guy comes from my first complete 50/90 back in 2014. It's super simple but for some reason I have a tough time getting a mix I like. I think the existence of the electric piano might just be throwing off my entire brain or something…

I didn't have very much hope for this one as I was working on it, but now that it's done I kinda like it. It's not a hit by any stretch, but it's kinda fun to play and not so bad to listen to (in my uber biased and 100% non-objective opinion…
