Archie Jones Obscure Overlords - Hot Blobby (Guitar)

Last Chance

3rd rehearsal of "Learning to Love thy Self and thy Neighbour, rather than a Life of Misery and Relentless Multiplying Punishment"

In preparation for our gig December 20th @ Tago Mago, we've been rehearsing the 45min set regularly and evolving the ideas. 

This is the 2nd draft of all 4 parts in 1 continuous take. Here's a brief description of each part::

1 - [[isolation]]
slower tempo, acoustic guitar, cleaner guitar, deep bass, moody vocals, chugging drums & rhythms
2 - [[confusion]]
dips into ambient swirls, vocals will dissipate, spooky bow strokes on guitar, field recordings, strings build and build...
3 - [[launch]] 
"full archie" territory, faster tempo - lots of effects, aggressive vocals, chunky bass, synths & bass synth. wall of sound zone that Archie is famous for... 
4 - [[bliss]] 
a more melodic finish. resolved tensions/anger/frustration into bliss and unity, multiple vocal harmonies, building to a crescendo of bliss
