Thanks Jethro. I had a lot of fun doing the cheesy big band stuff.

"The cool cat in the wind" is very good indeed, thoroughly enjoyed it. Sounds complicated (in a very good way) in parts. love the breakdowns and the structure of it all.Fantastic sounding instruments, awesome stuff!

Thanks. Cool Cat was in 9/8, 5/4 and 4/4. It was kind of a progressive jazz piece. Very different than most things I do.

Cat in the Wind sounds great. Really good music for listening to in the car while driving to work.

his parole due?
LMAO. I didn't know he was in jail.

Aaron, I'm sorry about your experience with IK. I bought MODO Bass when it first came out on sale. I don't remember if I was entitled to any additional discounts having owned Amplitude. All I know is I was content with the price I paid. I hope you manage to work things out with them.

wagtunes,
If that's the worst thing that happens to me this month, I can't complain. It's really just a First World problem. I would imagine it will work out eventually. Especially after Joe Satriani gets released!

Keep me updated. Especially when Satriani is released.

23rd track from my upcoming double CD "2020"

Boss Over Me

Everyday it's do this don't do that boy
Standing over me like you're in charge
Kinda feel you treat me like a play toy
How the hell did your head get so large

Well I got news for you this ends right now girl
Ain't gonna take none of this no more
Gonna fight you with all that I've got yeah
Just you wait and see what lies in store
Nothing's gonna keep me down
Turn your smile into a frown
Turn the tables right on you
That is what I'm gonna do
Oh baby just you wait and see
You ain't no boss over me

At the start things were pretty cool gal
But slowly you began to push me round
Now it's constantly a chore to see you
Peace of mind is nowhere to be found

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental Break

Nice song. That sax sounds really nice. Is that a Warp IV sax?

Yes it is, with quite a few articulations utilized.

24th track from my upcoming double CD "2020"

Breakdown On The Highway

Fortune's turning
Can't stop learning
My life's burning
Breakdown on the highway

Coffee perking
Evil lurking
Duty shirking
Breakdown on the highway

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

And everything is going straight to hell

Trouble brewing
People screwing
Nothing doing
Breakdown on the highway

Rulers lying
Children crying
Earth is dying
Breakdown on the highway

Repeat B Section

Instrumental Break

Cars are stalling
Mothers calling
Sky is falling
Breakdown on the highway

My dog rover
Wrapped in clover
Game now over
Breakdown on the highway

Breakdown...
Nice grungy guitar sound.
Like the chaos arp that was introduced in the "Trouble brewing" verse.
Vocals were mixed nice and up front.
Liked the guitar solo.
I kind of expect an interesting bridge or some different chord progression vibe from you.
But this one didn't have that. Seemed to be a bit short at 2 minutes.
Very good while it lasted though.

Boss Over Me
Very good. I like your lyrics as I mentioned before, they seem to tell a good story often.
1:31 a bit messy, with one element too many imho
Nice sax sounds
2:34 nice

As always, thanks for the listen and the feedback.

Yeah, I kept Breakdown short and simple. Kind of a minimalist grunge track.

Boss. Yeah, the arrangement got a little loose in places and there was probably too much going on here and there. I was going for a certain sound and these jazzy type tracks are difficult for me in general. Sometimes when I stretch myself I get into trouble. But if you don't attempt it, you just stagnate. In fact, I'm going to be doing a lot of experimenting and stretching over the remainder of this CD. Honestly, I have no idea how well some of what I have planned (including a stab a Taylor Swift like arrangement) is going to turn out.
