Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated :)

I think you nailed the breakdown, love when it comes back in. Great tune.

Aggressive.

This interesting and very clever. Most enjoyable!

Great job on this one! Keep it up. :)

See what happens when you start clowning around :D This is really something. I have to listen again.

nice! I like how this one turned out!

Yes- I think you hit the proverbial nail on the freakin' head with this one. Love the beat and that crunchy bass

I do love dancy rhythm. It does it for me!

yeay! love it! you are quite the sound sculptor, amigo.

Digging the glitchy bits and the synths!

what is the bpm for Mr. Palmer?

Took a few hours to make. For example a lot of fades are hand drawn automation and the whole thing is 540 bars long so that took a while even though I can copy & paste automation data in Logic. The 05:00 mark I went a bit mad with the filter resonance. I have a version where I clean that up a little and it sounds better I think. I might replace the online version.

So how long did this take DAMN - an alarm went off just as I started typing LOL - 5 minutes in! So as i was about to say - this is intriguing and the fade-ins/outs and those watery textures make it fun. It's a long way off my beaten track but still in my jungle ... it's getting to the stage now where I'll have to pick up a guitar ...

I'd like to build a song around Mr. Palmer.

love the rhythmic malfunctions. inspiring.

! Um...I can't believe you put a massive disclaimer on this! Incredibly well played, Sandbags!

I don't have a lot of time this morning but it's definitely time for you to stop being so modest. This totally deserves a more pretentious description. How about (in a deep announcer voice): a post-modern sonic exploration of the contemporary kick drum. :-)

Well you know on further listening I do find things to like in this. I'm inclined to give the process another go (maybe with a slightly shorter time frame) and think more about structure. Thanks again for your comments folks.

This will maybe sound crazy, but I can hear just adding low drone in places and then a big ominous synth wash over the top. Don't trash it- it's got a lot of possibility!

I feel like I'm aloft and tumbling wildly across vistas of 80's virtual reality grids as I'm listening to this like Tron meets a bad case of sunstroke. Nice use of pitch.

Cool track.

Thanks for the kind words folks, gave me a lift :)

Thanks for the nice comments my friends. I've been away (for various reasons) from music for some time and this is one of my first few forays back. Trying to recapture my spirit of adventure!

Thanks Len. Looks like I have a lot of your uploads to catch up on!

Hmmm listening in headphones there's very little movement which creates a disappointingly static impression. Something to work on.

Thanks guys, inebriated waveforms could be said to be the speciality of the house!

This does have a Sci-fi feel to it. I think it fits right in with Voyager-1 leaving our solar system.

Why thank you all, glad you like :)

Think maybe we should do an extended version one day :)

Ah that last comment was from me, didn't notice I wasn't logged in.

Like it.

Great drone, love the percussion, cool track!

I love the music and tone of this one. The way the opening draws you in, the tension of the strings, and the rising, sucking, synth almost like someone whistling across a wasteland. Yet the strings bring you back! The whole thing is more than the sum of its parts.

Drama is clearly good for you :)

That was really good Steve. One strangeness: the track is listed as being 6:16 long but stops (seemingly naturally) at 5:52.

That was awesome guys.

Has a feeling of being in between places, like looking out of the window on a long train journey. I think the drums work quite well. Good stuff, welcome back :)

I agree it's a bit shrill in places. This track is actually one of the few times I've thought I shouldn't just publish but should polish. I often struggle with this feeling and - as with this track - lose.

Thanks for the positive thoughts. I'm getting some odd distortions on playing here this morning that I didn't notice in the original (esp. since this piece doesn't play "hot"). They're not supposed to be there. Odd.
