I rarely listen to online music but the title was intriguing enough to make me want to find out about it and it was a good thing because I like your tune. I like the guitar part
I guess it's you playing _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

I like the guitar a lot too.
I might be wrong, but you might actually be touching on stuff done before.. which is a good thing really.. because I miss someone picking this up again. In the late 70s a very gifted german dude released an LP on Virgin, called Blackouts. He used the artist name "Ashra". You might want to check that one out. The amazing thing is that he used very little synths on that LP. Most of what sounds like minimoogs and ARPs is actually his own guitar. That specific album is cool. After "Fish Rising" Steve Hillage went in that direction too. I guess you can find a lot of interesting stuff on his double album called "Live Herald"....1982? _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

Yup, that's me playin' guitar. I read once that the better the guitar player is, the less wha wha you will find in his playing. I guess that explains all the wha wha. Thanks for your kind words everybody. _________________ Don't count on tomorrow being more fun than today.

Live Herald
Quote: | LIVE HERALD by Steve HIllage may very well rank in the top ten in many different categories. One: this is an exceptionally recorded Live Album. The mix is incredible, with a truly heavy sound that plays great at low volume as well as high. Two: prog lovers unite! The 70's never had such an inventive musician as Hillage. He surrounds himself with amazing musicians (Todd Rundgren's Utopia) that adeptly perform HIllage's intricate (and quite heavy) tunes masterfully. Three: Guitar!! Steve, at the time, was perhaps the most underrated guitarist. His lead work is superior to many of his constituents, and will leave any guitar lover smiling at his chops, wondering how he pulls them off so cleanly and adeptly--remember, this was recorded in 1977!!
Well, what about the songs? We open up with the Salmon Song, that quietly crescendos into a wonderfully simplistic yet enjoyable riff. The song rocks its way into a four minute structured jam that will simply delight the listener. Next, we have an excerpt to the Solar Music Suite that fades in then segues into Hurdy Gurdy Man with a little interlude, Castle In The Clouds, from HIllage's Gong days. Light In The Sky is next, a rocker about UFO's that ends with a nice little nod to Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Searching for the Spark is next, which gives the listener a taste of the type of techno music Hillage had in mind for the future. The songs are awesome, Electrick Gypsies, and then the Lunar Music Suite followed by a ten minute guitar solo that mimics Brian May a bit with overlaying echoes. Lastly, we have a cover of the Beatles tune It's All Too Much.
All in all, a wonderful live recording for guitar, prog, and hard rock |

I will certainly check out the Steve Hillage LP. I read an article in Guitar Player magazine about him. I was too young to really get it though. I would never compare myself to players of that stature. The German artist you mentioned, I will also check him out. I started recording my CD before I had a synth with usable sounds. A lot of the pads are slide guitar parts that I processed to the max to give them a synth texture. If anyone is interested, the thread titled " A New Track by Project Twelve(34)" is also my song. I will try to get a few more tracks turned into mp3's for review on the site. _________________ Don't count on tomorrow being more fun than today.
