RE: New tracks swapping
Maarten, I've been listening to your dj thing. You do appreciate chaos! What's that whistling sound?
Beer or Blooms Taxonomy was done whilst studying for a teacher's qualification. The Bloom bit is revolutionary stuff! Basically says that learning parrot fashion is not as thorough an understanding of something as being able to evaluate it. In other words, it's one thing to be able to say 'Een half pond rundergehakt alstublieft' (sp?) and hope to walk away with something for a chilli, but it's better to know what 'paardevlees' means if you're particular about flavour!
Can't fault the logic, but I had to waffle on enough to have written an essay - and the deadline was looming. Marstons Pedigree was on the shelf. Cubase was but but a few clicks from Word. By early morning I'd done this tune. Glad you liked the balance, I'm never satisfied, and the brightness changed converting to mp3.
You Must Be Free You Will Have Democracy is a fairly obvious comment. Felt like making it all the same. Again I'm not happy with the final mix, but the missus plays it and said I should post it. Loads of war sounds from tanks to explosions, ricochets, etc ('guns were fired, then reloaded' as the line goes from another tune, Lust of Fools, which is in a similar vein).
Running Late is about driving an old car when really late for something, like work. You know, when you've been too interested in where you were and now you're driving somewhat faster than is sensible for road or car, going 'shitshitshitshitshit..etc'. Anxious, demonstrative, yet ultimately controlled.
What IS that whistling sound? 10kHz test tone? It seems to be as loud in the kitchen as up here in the studio
