Fuchsia Outhouse

     Built around a double-tracked note from one of the lovely Glauco presets, more an obvious homage to than a blatant ripoff of someone that you will know if you're halfass cool.

    It helps that treating my own vocals would be part of the design of such a homage because it's the best way to make them not quite as boring to me.

There's something to be said for creating a heavy groove and then taking it apart. Any suspected homages will be neither denied nor confirmed.

Thought we'd bring minimalist looping in to the current idiom or something

   There are several past and present percussion elements from most every piece of equipment in Broke_Fi's arsenal literally destroying each other in their efforts to be the focal point of this particular composition. Believe me, the final mix was plenty agitating. I can only hope it has the same effect on the audience.

Front and back covers for "Pipe". It was a fun little side project in '03-'04 and it was a fun little side project again. Who knows, maybe I'll find another copy of the original masters floating around one day. I'll release that motherfucker too.

        Here's the playlist in its entirety;

                  Look for the rest of "Whack Zeppelin" to be delivered in the future and keep your eyes open and your earplugs handy for the upcoming live set,
     In the meantime Soylent soldiers on....

One of the tracks from the album containing some more laid-back elements. That coupled with the fact that it's towards the end and in between two more frenetic tracks, it kinda fell thru the cracks. I definitely found the idea of overlapping the organ riffs appealing and I think it gives the track a feel that's more ominous and less sad than the album mix. (I also think both versions sound kind of forboding and more-or-less fitting in the current world in which the studio sits, but that's another pointless, discussion perhaps...)
Anyhow the entire playlist will be up soon. For now here's the track.

   I was going for a brand of bombast that combined elements of the majestic with the grandiose and  the inharmonious. Distortion of the digital and analog variety are both included in the mix as well as parts from the recently resurrected SA-10-interestingly enough no effects were added to those, because none were needed. Put this thing in a category of stuff they "don't make like they used to" Absolute beasts of equipment do come in deceptively small packages.
    I can say this; I hope it's as disconcerting to listen to as it was fun for me to record. Because it is for me
