Name: Frustrated (2012) by John McLaughlin
Duration: 5 min
Description: Another dip into the archives. This one is from 2012 and was originally called Frustrated by the Lack of Time. At the time I was working in Aberdeen - a 5 hour trip from home - leaving me little time to play at the weekend. Reading the original notes, I managed to create this in 75 minutes from start to finish. I have cleaned this up a bit and remastered it.

Oh, my, John! This is both lovely and way impressive.

I'm hearing Alan Holdsworth-isms, nice playing John.

Thanks for everything, my brother! 😎

Mix by Stephen and Ken
Artwork by Josh Clary

I delivered my guitar track to my friend, Josh (Entheogenic Psychonaught) and he enjoyed adding the psychedelic, yet foundational four string fretless bass. Ken (K2 and the Three and K2 and the Four) boosted the energy level of the song when he blew our minds with his driving drums. JJ (J.J. Terrell) added the wild, dynamic organ you hear throughout. Tez (Llanpsych) brought lightning down from the sky in the solo over the third section. And last, but certainly not least, Stephen (TexMex Shaman) laid down the mind-bending guitar solos over the first two sections. He also produced and mixed it, with a little help from Ken. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as our Eclectic Collective enjoyed making it. 

Thanks guys for this great experience!

Reflections On A Calm Surface

A light hearted bluesy song about a guy going to a party and not remembering a thing afterwards.

Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party 

Invited to a party, last Saturday night
Got me all dressed up, I just-had to look right
Lot’s of pretty women walking about
Thought I did my best to not freak out

Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party 

Must‘ve had a drink or two, or maybe many more
My memory’s kind of fuzzy after walkin thru the door
Hope I wasn’t rude and craz to anybody there
Just hoping for a good time, but I guess I didn’t care
 
Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party 

Did I do the macarena, or strut the chicken dance
With the O Jays and Kool and the Gang, I just didn’t stand a chance
Could have been the beer, or maybe whisky shots
But I tell you one thing my friend, my head sure hurt lots

Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party 

Found a tattoo on my left butt cheek
Really kinda hurts but it sure looks sweet
Not asking any questions about that night
Cause people there all told me it wasn’t a pretty sight

Don’t remember but must have been...   some kind of party

Must Have Been Some Kind of Party

Must Have Been Some Kind Of Party

With the exception of a handful of covers, everything is unplanned, first-take improvisation: switch on; record; post.
Make of it what you will.
