OFF: New song "Parallax" by Espada Negra (on the Hawkwindy side!)

[Abra Cadabra]

I definetly hear "Gardenia" / "Magic Potion" / "Blue Snow" in there,
some of those band's best tracks. IMO opinion Wyndorf just does his
wig and growl but not a SUPER great singer like brits like Gary Ramon
maybe who carry the UK "Commitments" tradition of r'n'b explosion of
the 60s. The CDR i made is 46 minutes and is 7 tracks. Some awesome
stuff in the mix and be SURE I will play maybe  TWO songs on an
upcoming FM broadcast, maybe the Mullett Mournblade one, and your solo
track. The production is pretty high, gathering its all "laptop" mix.
I hear in the past 15 years fave artists of mine, like Hawkwind, Fish
and The Legendary Pink Dots get "canned" drums or keyboards in digital
age, a trap that is easy to fall into.

> Yeah ;) "Afterburner" is _very_ self-consciously a tribute to a lot of things in the stoner/space genres that I love: the main verse chorus riffs are really a mash-up of "Master of the Universe", "Gardenia", the Open Mind's "Magic Potion" as covered by Sun Dial, and "Blue Snow"-era Orange Goblin, while bits of the bridge are basically riffs lifted from "Dopes to Infinity" at a different tempo. ;)  It has the "stop-start" thing from "Master of the Universe" as well. ;)  And the same John Glenn sample used in Hawkwind's "The Phenomenon of Luminosity" .... ;)

All the guitars and bass used the built-in amp models! Actually, I'm not sure I've ever since got as useful a bass tone as I did out of those then. It sounds rubbish if you solo it :D but it suited the mix very well. :D
