              Outstanding, and thank you so much. This info just made the process much less like trying to remove a tooth with a hole punch and a hammer (don't ask).

              This is another early track recorded for our second album. We rerecorded a handful of these tunes for the third release, but this one was discarded. I'm really not altogether certain why, perhaps we felt it a bit primitive and red-necky. The track features the by now patented dirty bass sound I preferred then, and still do. Essentially, we ran a chord from the control room that split into two other rooms, each containing an amp. One was set to a clean, buoyant tone, the other to either an overdriven guitar amp or my bass amp with a distortion pedal. Rather than running direct to the board, we'd mic the cabinets from a few feet away, giving a fuller "room" sound. When mixing, I could then fade between the two tracks to get the proper level a tune required: a cleaner tone for the ballads, a much more harsher tone for the rockers. I initially got the idea from an interview in a guitar rag with Sting, who would do pretty much the same thing using both an upright bass and his electric.

              Liner notes? Sorry did not get that far.

                LOL! I just record a clean track direct on it's own channel while running a plugin for playback only to get some kinda Marshally sound, and the harmonic feedback I dig.

                Then, on mixdown, I can re-amp the clean track to sound however I want it.

                My best friend had a mid-50s 50-watt Fender Twin for a few years back in the 80s.

                Man, crank that bitch up with a distortion box at high volume and that amp sounded so evil, if it was a person, it would be coming after you with a knife!

                    You really should come up with some, as I'm digging the hell out of "Rocket Download". Nicely done.

                          Downloaded a buncha you guys' work the other week. Just now sat down and checked it out.

                          Jay, great job on Whole Lotta Love.

                          Goddam, Vain. That song Humid just kicks fucking ass! My fave out of the lot you uploaded.

                          Chef, the instrumental side of these tunes reminds me of Rush: Fantasy reminds me of Bastille Day in it's opening riff. Feed Me reminds me of Rush during the Vapor Trails era. Medicated just reminds me of Rush in general, lol. Good stuff!

                          Ashtralia that little .aiff clip was fucking cool.

                          We got some grate musicians around here.

                                This track was my attempt at writing tv theme music for the opening credits of an action/adventure/cop show. It was meant to be accompanied by footage of foot chases, car chases, fist fights, shit blowing up, ect, ect. and end up with the hero and his cronies drinking someplace amidst beautiful women. I named it 203 for what amounts to roughly it's running time and because the title "Theme from a Non-Existent TV Series" was already used on an Elton John album in 1976.

                                Initially recorded for our third album (but left off because only three of the band members played on it), the track starts with my usual distorted bass and questionable sense of time keeping. That's my friend Craig on the leads that ultimately make the tune worthwhile by providing some much needed melody, with my bro Robbie on drums and me on some snatches of rhythm guitar.

                                203
