Hey Brother Mike
This track is out of this world my dear mike.
How have you been mate?
Unfortunately, on the 3rd of May, I went to the hospital to have a stent put in.
with an hour later I was transported to another hospital for triple bypass ops.
I am recovering at the moment as soon as I'm well I will be back.
See you soon mate.

Maj! dear friend and fellow survivor, i knew while you were mia that you must be going through some changes, but wow, buddy. i am so glad to hear you are recovering! all of my thoughts are with you at this moment, my friend. good lord, what an experience this life is! a big hug to you, Maj!
hey there, BB! i love that spare but really expressive beat and how well it matches eliot’s own cadence recorded like a hundred years ago. i’m really happy to have your listen, man!
Extremely interesting waveform, I knew I was in for a treat.
This track is very creative. I've listened to it twice trying
to figure out that "Occidental-ish" melody that runs through the center of the whole track. Super engaging really draws you in.
man that mangled sound was the result of one of those accidents that go beyond understanding, and the way silverpaw played it is so empathetic and syncretic, it’s def a match for our chosen subject. i’m really happy you caught this, bro!
You're an artist my friend. Love the atmosphere you created, drums simple but perfect, lovely pad type thing (what is that?) and the poem is beautiful. And the sound quality is crystal. Too much.
this comes from an age ago, i had a real education from corey/silverpaw and we had a shared interest in ts, so this. i gotta find that man again. he is a real artist. the mangly sounds are mostly tortured casio by me resampled and played by silverpaw. cheers, buddy!
xstokes interesting interplay between the drums and narrative that’s hitting heavy. I really dig how you set the timing between the two. Interesting listen.
thanks, mark! i’m telling ya, reading eliot is its own reward, but listening to him reading is a journey, and christ that cat had rhythm. thanks for such a nice comment, man!
Wow wow wow you've outdone yourself again!!
I love this bounce and the deep sound of the drumkicks.
For this one you get a 10 bro!!!
This beat is just great!!!
the mastering as always perfect.
i’m so happy you liked this! it’s from years ago but still sounded pretty fresh to me so thought i’d share it. silverpaw was like a mentor and a brother to me and i hope i can find him again. so it makes me think of some others i care about but haven’t been good about keeping in touch with. i will do something about that! thank you for being out there, sister!
Very cool! The first part, for some reason, reminded me of Wilco. When it picked up Bowie came to mind. Sets a cool stage, I feel resurrected suddenly.
Tumeke. Love the lyrics. Those guitar loops (?) are sublime. You got a style all your own man and I truly love it. This link is in no way related apart from having a word in common in the title https://youtu.be/IlZmx8U7lf0
thanks, man! the gtr loops from sharpbeats, harry, and rits have superb tones! haha i think tall dwarfs ran the psychobilly ward of the flying nun hospital, great stuff.
i’d be shocked if you haven’t heard this before, but here’s a gtr sound i’ve always really liked. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=89Y0T64EHMs
Nice intro mate, love spoken word,it forces you to listen more intently, nice creativity the quirky vox are scary could have done another 40 seconds maybe a repeat of the intro very delicate and charming
thanks, paul — i had headed towards a reprise of the mallets and only switched that off at the last edit. hmm…
i am going to follow your lead and record vox in the shower. i’m gonna let the water run on mine, tho.
Another wonderful track - glorious lofi sounds, nice indie vocal and beautiful ambience ... do you like the animal collective ... this one reminds me of them
mind blown dude what species are you these days?!? its always a new level with you man! love the organ at the end, this reminds me of revolution #9 come to think abot it and i mean that as a compliment, very cool man!
i do have a major graft thing going on, i’m afraid! dang, man i’m happy to see you uploading more stuff here — i end up listening to so much loop that i don’t hit soundcloud etc too often, i wish all i had was time…. but you, my friend, are too far out and was love at first listen. i promise, one of times we will get it together
Get's very Aphex Twin a couple times. Thought I was having a stroke, but in a good way, then I thought, it's probably not good to say "Thought I was having a stoke, but in a good way."
I love the originality man. All I need is a knife and some steak sauce because this one is quite delicious. Is that an 8 or 16-bit synth I hear in this one? This song is a trip and a half. Well done man.

Kinda reminds me of that, interesting, poignant, and cool all at the same time.
