super fun power pop tune, brings back memories!

Love the raw rocking rhythm guitars, really very cool! Great vocals and lyrics!

I love the pulse in your beats. Reminds me a bit of future islands beat style. Heard of them?

THE PIANO

I've had this idea for a while to insert a Reggae/Dub section into a Jazz or Blues tune, and finally got around to it. Luckily, this is both - a 24 bar Blues structure in a Jazz style, with 3 horns. As a bonus, I managed to work in a little tribute to Pink Floyd. See if you can spot the several references to the song 'Money' in the Dub section starting @ 2:46, and the subtle nod in the track art. 

Also, one of my fave sounds in music is hearing a trombone player 'go off' in an unhinged solo, bonus points if it's muted with a plunger  ;). I tried at least a very small attempt at that... it comes in right after the 'Dub' section while the sax & trumpet swap melodies from the first half. Maybe it works maybe it doesn't, but I laugh whenever I hear it. All instruments are played by me on keyboard.

***Also, check out the really cool take that fellow Canadian 'Big Al From The Grove' has on this track, where he graced it with his brilliant guitar playing:

1 For The Money, 3 For The Blues (& Dub tribute to Pink Floyd)

This was the third song that Steve Vervaet sent me for a collaboration. I asked Josh to record bass. We both added harmonies,  me on low , Josh on high. The original has some Organ and some guitar parts from one of Steve’s friends, I always like this as just a three-piece, so I decided to do a new mix. Hope you like it, and hope I am not stepping out of bounds, or stepping on anyone’s toes, ha… alternate versions of songs are awesome, sometimes🤔

Steve’s planet : vocal, guitar, composition
Josh Clary( Entheogenic Psychonaught) : bass, guitar, high harmony vocal 
K2 and the Three: drums, percussion, low harmony vocal

Better Than Nothing (raw mix)-Steve’s Planet/Josh Clary/K2 and the Three

A new strange brew of a composition for a new year of creation hopefully haha!. Big ups and best wishes to all the Soundcloud artists and listeners out there doing big or medium size things in 2024!

Sword of Musashi

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition, production, and mix
The Mysterious Decibel -- @themysteriousdecibel – MD – First vocals and lyrics 
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–Electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Electric guitar, mix, and production  
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, lyrics, and vocals at the end
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass

This song began with Terry sharing an intriguing Eastern sounding synth and minimal beat with Ken, who added a really solid beat to bring out the strong rhythm of the song. Once they had a solid foundation and skeleton, they shared it with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Josh added his five string fretless bass in a dubby line that was inspired by Tez's hot skank part.  Stephen came up with the shocking dynamic lift towards the end, and Tez piled on to light it up. Then MD got a hold of it and wrote and sang some of his trademark, fun lyrics and vocals in the first part of the song. Ken, not to be left out of the melodic experience, added the vocals at the end. 
  After we all had everything in the can, the Texas Tea combo of Stephen and Terry produced and mixed the whole thing down. This wasn't their first rodeo mixing a project together, and it really shows in the end quality. They also have several duo projects up on both of their pages that are worth checking out.  
  We think the end result is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation, two big influences on a few of us. We all hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by MD:
Time again and on, and on, and on, we fall in slumber
Dreams never wait
Ashes to ashes we all fall down 
Ooooo Circles break
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
When we wake
When we wake
Is this a new Simulation?
When I wake
When I wake

Lyrics by Ken:
Feed the fire or the flame goes out
