Cry Uncle ... Terri Bright
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
This song moves well, but it's NOT a happy song.
This semi-funky, Latin-ish groove, with a timbale/snare mix,
seemed to capture the mood.

Soldier's Lament ... The Late Band
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
Recorded in a smoky bar in Boston.
This is me embracing my heritage ... well sort of!!

Call on Me ... Fiction
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
7+7+2=16?? Playing with numbers can spice up a groove;
the key is to make people feel the music, not the math.

Change of Tune ... Denis Allen
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
No spectacular drumming here, but I love the 'feel' of this song.

Gone to Pieces ... Hi Energy
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
Power-pop, with an 80s feel
(not too surprising, considering it was recorded in the 80s!!)
|
Barefoot & Zen ... SwingTree
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
This song has the movement and energy of acoustic rock,
and the edge of electric rock.
The drum part tries to capture the best of both worlds.

Can't Believe It ... Fiction
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
This groove was born in Motown, went to school with the Beatles,
and spent too much time hanging around street corners!!
|
Longest Hour ... Terri Bright
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
Country, but with a definite twist.
Sorrow goes through anger
and comes out the other end as big-time defiance.
|
Home Ground ... Spike Island
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
Tribal-ish toms where you'd usually expect expect to hear a "bodhran"
(traditional Irish hand drum).
|
Lost in the City ... SwingTree
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
This song is ALL about mood.
Can't you just see Lisa Simpson, sitting under a bridge,
playing the perfect solo ...
|
Skeletons ... Fiction
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
Driving chorus leads into a "schizophrenic" 3:4 bridge section
and comes back out rockin'.

5 Years Later... One of Us
Hi Quality
(Fast Connection)
Lo Quality
(Slow Connection)
Again dark and electronic - this time much angrier!!
