Inspired by Jade Man's ritualising and Tom Byrne's cover things, I
sat down with Apple's GarageBand for 24 hours (well, not counting
sleep, food, slackness, etc.) and bashed up a cover of Hawkwind's
"Hassan I Sabha" (aka "Assassins of Allah"):

192kbps, so might be a bit slow on the downloading side .....
It's rough, but good fun :) I wasn't attempting to capture any
authentic vibe; rather I was just seeing how it came out with the
tools at hand. I guess it kind of follows the original, with a bit
of influence from HW's contemporary versions, and a desperate attempt
to make up for the lack of violin which I really would have
wanted :) I used free drum and synth loops, reused any bits of
guitar and bass that I didn't screw up, and cut'n'pasted OK bits to
try and gloss over the *many* places I did screw up ... at least,
until I got tired of doing so :)
I haven't actually linked this from my web site because, besides it
being a cover of copyrighted material (though obviously I'm not
selling anything), I, uh, used a few samples I scrounged from various
places totally without permission :) But hey, theft, so it goes :)
Rock on,
Carl
