Fight Song Orchestral Reduction

Written for the poem The Dead III,  by Rupert Brooke. Written to the text:
Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead!
There's none of these so lonely and poor of old,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
These laid the world away; poured out the red
Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be
Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene,
That men call age; and those who would have been.
Their sons, they gave, their immortality.

Blow, bugles, blow! They brought us, for our dearth.
Holiness, lacked so long, and Love, and Pain.
Honour has come back, as a king, to earth,
And paid his subjects with a royal wage;
And Nobleness walks in our ways again;
And we have come into our heritage.

The Memory Spring

One day in about 2005 I had the pleasure of having Don over to the studio for an impromptu session. We wanted to make a crazy metal song so we wrote a bunch of random numbers on a big piece of paper and used it to tell us how many blast beats would be after each slow 4 count riff. We recorded it pretty quickly and used a toy we had laying around called the "bop it" for the sample at the end. Seth Elmore on insane improved vocals, Josh Mustin on guitar
