Wild track! Hit me hard when it comes in.
Thanks for the .wav dload. I'll listen to it on my system.
Some parts mesh so much it's hard to tell what it all is...pretty cool.
That choked guitar was 'Shreddage' also? I like that. Would have liked to hear that guitar chain do the soloing...but samples have their limits.

FYI - whatever you upload to 'Soundcloud' is what can be downloaded if you set it downloadable.

Thanks annode, glad you liked it. Yes, all the "guitars" are Shreddage - 4 instances, 2 doubled up for the rhythm bits, 2 for the leads.

And yeah, I do know that about Soundcloud - put it down to my English eccentricity (aka madness)!

As soon as it started I was into the vibe! Great changes and chaining of ideas.
The bass is cool at 1:30 and the ladies and the chugging guitar are fabulous!
Cool organ and tron...
Well done.

Is it coincidence that you have such a Hammond-heavy track accompanied by a picture containing the legend "Lord John"? I think not. I loved the heavy rhythm section and the organ solo was outta sight and groovy.

Good work

I like it a lot dude! that slow, heavy drumbeat. very cool harmony movements in there + elaborate guitar and organ solos. the song is very organic, it lives!

Sorry, the Lord John thing is a happy coincidence! Really, I didn't connect the dots!

When I was a nipper, those Lord John shops seemed to be everywhere.
With the organ I was actually thinking more Brian Auger than Jon Lord.
Thanks for liking.

Thanks for listening.
