Apologies for the late posting this week, everyone. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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.

[...] 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 [...]
