You know Oonagh, I tend to agree. The first was a bit more spontaneous and fun. The owner of Kettleman's asked me to upload it to their Facebook page, so I knew I had to redo it, as too many scenes were really shakey and really had bad colour for that purpose. Sadly the worst scenes for colour and shake were often the most fun scenes. It was hard to drop them on the floor and say... "love it, but can't use it". I knew going into it the second time that it was going to be a bit more mundane. But, I hoped that I salvaged enough to keep it interesting. I really do not care for the scenes with Harman, but I felt compelled to include him as I did not want him to feel left out.

Hi Shad,

Great video you've made for this and it fits the music perfectly.

Really liking the phycadelic space-age vibe you've created with this track and it also brings to mind the "Any colour you like" track to me too.

Great job on the mix and production: Every sound is distinct and well-placed.

I had great fun playing on this. Thanks for asking me to.

      Cheers,
          John.

Hey John. Thanks for working on this with me my man, and good to see you around. Don't be such a stranger!

Watched the vid several times. Something about this just makes me smile. It's fun to see people in their work environment and then hearing what you've dropped underneath makes it more interesting - I particularly like the crazy piano that seems to be running away on its own. Nice stuff - a fun to watch. Great job.

Thanks for watching Daniel. I am thinking I am going to need to mail a six pack for all the folks who watched it and were left feeling a bit teased. That was an unintended side effect.

Thank you Manny. Finally! Somebody noticed the nasty piano! It is an ugly baby that only a parent could love, and I do love it. The song was not intended to have that type of piano... it was supposed to be far more melodic... but when I was playing with the reverb trying to give it some depth, I stumbled upon that nasty drop pitch effect and knew I had to use it. There is actually a spoken word version of this song (six inches from the mic) that has me going a bit nuts as "the wolfman jack" pianist during that part. Crazy is a pretty good description.

Hey James. Long time no see. Thanks for the look and listen. Yep still working it. I mentioned when I was posting the chapters and songs that at the rate I was progressing it was likely to take me 25 years. The good news is I am well on track to meet that deadline!

I listened to this the other day and forgot to comment... better late than never: cool synth textures, and nice development of the theme.  In short: good music; interesting video.  Well done.
