Apologies for the late posting this week, everyone. I guess I’m still just running with a holiday state of mind and it totally slipped my mind that it’s already Wednesday and I hadn’t put anything up this week.
This week’s song, The Lost Cymbal, is a short tension building song which starts off quickly and builds steam as it plows along. The bass and keys have an interesting slightly off-set call and response interplay through much of the beginning of the song eventually building into some crazed drum fills.
Abruptly, everything comes to a halt, however, as one of Neil’s cymbals simply couldn’t keep up with the pace and flew off on it’s own…hence the name of the song.
I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend and has fun listening to the new song this week. See you next week!
Just changed the picture for this thing. The header and original cymbal image just annoyed me whenever I saw the page so I decided to give them a change.
btw, this picture is hilarious…
[...] improvised jam says it all. It sounds like a contant build up through the entire song, kinda like The Lost Cymbol. It starts off with a dreamy rhodes and ends with loud drum [...]
