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

[Abra Cadabra]

I already had been following EN since the Deviants cover (MICK FARREN,
i was friends with him on FB to the tragic/heroic/true anarchic end,
and i was taliking to Edward Ka-Spel of the LPDs by email the very day
Mick collapsed and he was a great Anarchy hero to him as well). I see
you have 2 more solo tracks which i just grabbed and i followed you as
an artist and as a BC "friend" as well. Be sure to "follow" me as
well...... follow you follow me...

>>>> 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
