the kick and bass sound massive! beautiful groove ..awesome track Joe!!

Ridiculously groovy ping ponging rhythm. And in all your tracks your hardware instruments simply sound fantastic. They bring a really hefty punch balanced with your light-hearted sensibility.

Cool amalgamation of sounds, liking that darth vader robot breath ha!

digging it most righteously ! i also am a big fan of how your tracks are of a certain 'not radio-friendly' length , it really gives your base ideas (which are v creative) time to develop , bringing with it simultaneously a meditative quality whilst constantly shifting

I saw you looking !     I saw you looking with your big green, big green eyes !

I bet it's hard to believe that she's all mine?
Yeah!  In your dreams! 
For me she's keeping it real - yeah - real !
Watch your step! 
You're out of your depth and .......  
Stretching out like a crimson streamer
Flicking right round the bend.

I saw you looking ! I saw you looking with your big green, big green eyes !
I saw you looking ! I saw you looking at my bike !

Don't think to blink, if you wanna catch her tail light yeah!
You'd be dead lucky to catch her tail light yeah!
Can you see why now?
Sleek and sharp like a crimson streamer
Stretching right round the bend!

I saw you looking ! I saw you looking with your big green, big green eyes !
I saw you looking ! I saw you looking at my bike !

Drive over here......drive over here...
Get on over.....Wanna take a ride ?
These wheels of fortune are on your side.

Stretching out like a crimson streamer
Flying right round the bend

I saw you looking ! I saw you looking with your big green, big green eyes !
I saw you looking ! I saw you looking at my bike !

Rodolfo https://soundcloud.com/rplanes first shared this beautiful piece with me 2 years ago, which has had a gradual development since I first wrote the lyrics back then. More recently Ce Mastro https://soundcloud.com/cemastro added some exciting backing vocals which transformed the chorus and then even more recently we invited Dave McKeown https://soundcloud.com/dave-mckeown to contribute some lovely sax that we believed was just what the song needed. Rodolfo's song has such a feeling of romantic innocence yet with a wonderful rhythmic flow, that I hoped the words might feel from a simpler time. We hope you all enjoy our song of innocence (and inexperience) which thankfully is a work of fiction. Thanks again to Rodolfo for sharing this magical piece and his great skills as well as Ce and Dave's unique gifts to make this one happen. 
We thank you all for taking the time to listen.

Almost Lovers (by Rodolfo Planes / Mark Bennett)

Once we were almost lovers, without a care.
We weren’t like all the others, somehow we just didn’t dare.
We never faced the fact,
What we had wasn’t real,
Didn’t have to deal,
With the truth while we were putting on an act
We’d have to pay,
And quite how that would feel.

The moment when I discovered, not wanting to share,
You with any of the others, that I just couldn’t bear.
But when my back was turned,
You made out with a guy,
I thought was my friend.
Then I knew that my world had been overturned,
Put out to dry,
And what a way to end.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

Were never really lovers, just make believe.
Like sister and brother, with only ourselves to deceive.
I should have known right then,
I’d be out on my ear 
Instead of in love.
Waiting for the finale, not knowing when,
I’d disappear,
When the push comes to shove.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

A Place

5th track off of my concept album, "The Wheel."
Endless Night was written, arranged and recorded by Louis Taverna

This story follows a group of young childhood friends as they grow into adulthood and navigate through the experiences that must come with that; the wistful memories of their youth, the death of childhood, love and loss and growing older. However, they eventually discover they are in an illusionary world controlled by an omniscient super intelligence directly affecting every decision or even thought one may have, keeping them locked in an endless loop. Ultimately the friends find their true path and break free after a perpetual night of no reprieve.

This concept album sort of acts as a spiritual successor to my Demo EP "Welcome to the Neighborhood", as some similar musical themes appear in both, mostly used to foreshadow this one.

Thanks for listening, it always means a lot to me.

This one started off nearly a year ago, when the Eclectic Collective was just coagulating, and is the first one to feature Tez, Ken, JJ, and me on a song. JJ came up with it, drawing from his deep well of creativity, on the electric piano and bass, and shared it with the rest of the us. Starting with Ken, who added a phenomenal drum track to work with. I then added my guitar in a way that tried to emulate Miles Davis, albeit just an impression. Then we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did ably as ever, and we released it early last spring. 
  However, Tez, being the always tinkering producer that he is, decided to dust it off and give it a new bass line to match the ferocity of Ken's drums. He then remixed it and added some production effects, making the song it was meant to be. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
