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

[Abra Cadabra]

As for paying, i will pay 1 or 2 or 3 dollars for EACH track (i do
this so i get all the songs/albums onto my Bandcamp "fan" page, they
don't show up if i steal the songs hehe). Yeah PayPal funds i recieve
from others always goes towards net shopping cause i dont send funds
to my bank even though it is possible, i never tried it! Check my BC
"fan" site with loads of "free" Dots stuff i paid for just to get them
on there. Be sure to "steal" Dot To Dot (Its not on there) or any
others ... maybe i can "turn you on" its like my mission in New Wave
Mystical Witchcraft Anarcho Avant Prog as ever it was with Hawkwind.

>> 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" .... ;)

>> "Afterburner" was really my first home-recording effort, with the basic tracks recorded about 10 years ago now on the Roland VS-1680 I had then (though remixed more recently). 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

>> I've sometimes thought about trying to redo the vocals an octave higher, but I'm not sure I can manage it. Still that might be better ... or I could try to get Dave Wyndorf to sing it. ;)
