This is a fun little jam that I recorded in 1984. It was the first song on self produced cassette that I called "Analog Digitalia". Don't look for it in the stores.  :P  it was out of print a long time ago - when my cassette deck broke, I couldn't make any more copies.  ::)

I dredged this up for MCS to play around with. The idea was to post all seps and invite everyone to add their own seps or make an entirely new mix. We got some excellent takers on this one, folks:

Mike Woodford: stunning guitar work, as usual Mike. You incorporated elements of my lead, but played it as only you can. If I were a guitar player (and I secretly have always wished I was) I would strive for your tone and emotion.  8)

Neal: Big, beefy, chunky bass that worked perfectly in these mixes. Thanks for all the extra effort here Neal, certainly not forgotten or unnoticed.

Steve Gardner: A great drum track with interesting variations that worked very well with the existing tracks - maybe more suited for a lighter version, and I'd still like to pursue that.

John Wooten: perfect for the heavier version, the combination of your drums and Neal's bass could blow out a woofer and really provided a perfect rhythm section for either lead instrument, but worked especially well with my own lead in the mix.

Bill (r4M): honorable mention to you, buddy.. your test mix blew me away. I would love to get those seps and do a proper mix.


Thanks to you guys for playing along.. the experiment is still on, and I'd be pleased to see any further interest. This is what we have so far  :)

Really nice, guys... Music is what it is, the same thing, means a lot of things depending on each one's approach.
Live the best you can 'cause you're gonna be dead for a long time.

thanks for listening guys.. there's still plenty of room for variations if anybody wants to try anything.. guitar, bass, keys, vocals.. still wide open. not sure we'll get much more mileage out of it, but the project is still open!  :)

Andy, one of these days I'll change my direction and work on some more original stuff. I can tell you that my stuff is not very catchy. I really don't write catchy hooky songs.. maybe I should try :)

That would be very cool J.....I like your work (Forge is great) and even if they are instrumentals...they make a great change in pace. Or maybe someone can weave in lyrics/songs in between the instrumental passages! 70s prog rock!

I'm afraid that's the direction I go.. progressive/ambient/space/experimental. I'm also good at screwing up other people's perfectly good songs  ;D  ;D

Hey, I did get a taker on that bluegrass song I wrote, all authentic like-fiddle and all :)

A tasty chic pole dancing? Yikes!!!..... I think I've said too much!  ::)

Nicely done guys! The wah guitar really adds a psychedelic atmosphere (shades of Hendrix) Grooving to this.

We never finish a mix... we simply abandon them.
