Ok, so here's a track from my last band
I haven't posted any of the stuff here before, but I have sent bits and pieces to a few members who I have on MSN (Erkan and dcdanman have this track, and Marcus has another one)

When we formed the band, the idea was to be a dual bassist band with no other melodic instrument. One 5 string player playing really subby shit and one player with a 4 string playing higher up. Eventually the guy with the 5 string started playing round with his girlfriends guitar, and we found that we really fucking digged it, so the band kept going that way.

Eventually we began recording a weekly improvisation at the college studio. And these quickly took the shape of half hour plus musical odysseys that went from disco, to dub, funk, doom, sludge, ambient and something linking each recording together instantly recognizable as us.

This recording is the last jam we ever did. We went into this one with the idea of doing some outright funk. We accomplished 3 minutes or so of pure porn music before descending into madness.

Don't go into this recording expecting anything particularly melodic. The music is much more about playing with textures and sounds, seeing what stupid sounds we could coax out of our instruments.
That said, if you're stoner, this music will be fried gold to you. Anyone who wants something to laugh at will get a kick out of this too, and those of you into any really fucked up music will probably enjoy this.

The track's half hour long and uninterrupted, so it's a big download, 72mb.

Keep in mind this track is all improvised on the spot, and 2 of us were still exploring our respective instruments that weren't our usual forté (I'm on drums and Kian's on guitar, Tom is the only player who stuck to his mainstrument.)

Apolagies for the less than stellar recording quality too. I had a single mp3 to play with when it came into trying to inject some clarity and space.
I don't think I'd do much more to this recording even if I had the option to anyway haha.
 
Great fucking stuff. It's pure psycho dude, but you know that already as I've told you on MSN quite a few times :D

It's the perfect music to play in the background while programming and shit...

And the sound isn't that bad either dude! I wasn't really expecting some freakin' Organic Hallucinosis from this so... it's all good. But yea, I had to boost the lows through winamp, haha :D
 
well...don´t now what to say...last jam!?!?

yeah man
some creative differences were getting in the way
me and kian were wanting to continue making entirely improvised music and tom was wanting to go in a more technical, melodic, structured direction.

i think the sound works well with tom playing stuff with a lot of technical proficiency on bass with kian just going off in his own little world and me trying to tie it all together, but it made for difficulties between members.
