wow !! what a great collab on this track. The smooth paced out vocal and a deep magic to the vibe. Digging the drum track and the lead guitar, as the base sits beautifully. Sweet lyrics too ! A wonderful piece of alternative rock here. Love the mix and arrangements as well. Loving this ! thank you - shine

Blown away by this one, kudos to all involved

thank you for sharing this beautiful track!

I'd commented on Josh's posting of this, but have to try to get into the habit of dropping in on the other contributers of these EC songs  :)

I find the title to be the perfect accompaniment to this song - just feels like like floating up min some technicolour sky. Thi sone has also grown on my with repeated listenings. Really like the rolling atmospheric vibe, and little sonic delights happening throughout. Steve always impresses me with the singing, which I wish I could hear just a touch louder, but overall, another fab creation!

This is a track inspired by those instrumental anomalies found on 1980's albums put out by the late, great I.R.S. Records!

Angelika ist meine Schwester, und es handelt sich um einen Drohnenflug. Dabei entstand ein kurzes Video, das den Ort zeigt, an dem sie lebt und arbeitet, und zu dem ich eine kurze Musik geschrieben habe, für ihre Webseite www.human-unfoldment.de .
Wir alle haben schon erstaunt unsere Fähigkeit zu Fliegen zur Kenntnis genommen - in unseren Träumen, von Zeit zu Zeit. Das tun wir dann mit der größten Selbstverständlichkeit, Leichtigkeit und Gelassenheit. Und wir haben den Wunsch, das unser Leben so wäre.
We all have the ability to fly - in our dreams, from time to time. It happens to be very simple, we do it relaxed and withour any effort. And we wish our lives would be like that.
This piece grew out of a little music I wrote for a video for the website of my sister, which is about yoga and personality building. The video shows a drone flight over the place, where she lives and works - a lake, trees, houses, nice weather.

Might develop this tune a tad more yet! Used some stems for this  one, but mutilated, chopped up, and changed order of notes. Percussion created independently of riffs.

Kind of amusing that they refer to this set of wheels as a #sculpture because I've never considered myself a #sculptor 🤣

I used to work on the Wheel Lathe in the #WheelShop at #CreweWorks, and this set of wheels was one of my last assignments before I took voluntary redundancy.

It was an old set of wheels that I I recut; I imagine a brand new set was seen as an unnecessary expense.

So next time you walk by them you'll know who the sculptor was

THE TOWN THAT TIME FORGOT: Crewe, UK

Steve sent us a cool guitar riff, inspired by recent trips through European forests… we added some instruments 
Steve-vocal/acoustic guitar- Steve’s Planet 
Josh-bass/electric piano-Entheogenic Psychonaught 
Stephen-sitar and final mix-Tex Mex Shaman
Tez-guitar and final master-Llanpsych 
Ken- drums/ percussion -K2 and the Three

We hope you all enjoy… came together pretty quickly, which I like😎

Cast of characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040  Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar

TexMex Shaman @texmex-shaman –Stephen–sitar, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--  @k2andthe3 @k2-kara Ken–drums and percussion, vocals

Llanpsych– @llanpsych Tez–lead guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 four string fretless bass guitar, vocals

This song started with Artur composing a brilliant, open piece on his guitar, in his distinct surf rock style, and sending it to Josh. Josh put the bass down on top of Ken's banging drums, but it took Josh a while to be able to get this one for some reason. Once he and Ken were locked in, though, they knew they had it. JJ then sprinkled his electric keyboard magic, followed by Tez, who lights up the whole thing with his electric guitar wizardry. 

 At Artur's request, Ken, JJ, and Josh added the big harmony vocals, "See you soon, in a better world." Artur wanted this song to be about the need for peace in the world. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen added the sitar intro. He also accomplished the herculean task of mixing and producing the whole thing for us.

 This is another true team effort by the Eclectic Collective, and the fourth in our series of surf rock songs. This also happens to coincide with Artur's birthday, so please go to his page and wish him a happy birthday. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

#SUPPORT gathers #MOMENTUM when #RECIPROCATED!

My tunes are ten times better than you might imagine!
>
A lack of listens proves nothing, other than the fact that no one is finding your tunes; it does not prove, as some believe, that your tunes must be crap, so don’t ever take such a ridiculous notion on board—on an internet FLOODED with music no listens rarely has anything to do with the quality of your music, your creative talent, is almost always down to the fact that the right audience can’t find your music, because finding it is now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
>
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERYTHING FOR SOMEONE!
>
For diversity and consistency, I am not hesitant in saying my Soundcloud pages house the most inventive creations on here. There are others making fabulous tunes, but no one is more prolific while maintaining a high standard of pole to pole invention, and that applies to the lyrics too. I won't escape obscurity and oblivion, but that proves nothing, the internet is way, way, WAY overcrowded with unsigned music, way too much mediocre stuff, which obscure anything exceptional out there; the wood hidden away behind lots and lots and LOTS of trees, and no one has the time to look for needles in haystacks, to find a diamond in the rough, it's just way too big a task, not humanely possible!

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, DIVERSE MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, IMAGINATIVE LYRICS, but those are the last things the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far a way from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most adoration for the talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
#Overlooked, #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen!
>
When Soundclouders follow me or click like without leaving feedback, what is it they are hoping for? That I come listen to their tunes and heap praise on them, what? I mean really, what is the point of following someone, what is the point of liking one of their tunes, if you don't actual think they are deserving of feedback, if you don't think the tunes are as good as what you do???

EXPLODING THE MYTH THAT UNSIGNED IS UNSIGNED BECAUSE IT’S INFERIOR TO SIGNED MUSIC!

>
UNTIL this MYTH is blown out of the water we don’t have a cat in hells chance of breaking through. #TheMyth  is the BIGGEST obstacle that stands in our way, it is the FIRST hurdle we must get over, it is the message that should be going #VIRAL, it’s down to each & every one of you to make that happen!
>
#ExplodeTheMyth
>
Listening to just one of my tunes tells you nothing about my creative approach, listening to ten of my tunes will still tell you very little, listen to a hundred of my tunes and the penny will start to drop, but it's only after hearing 500+ of my creations and collaborations that your eyes will widen in amazement! 
However, if you don't have unlimited eclectic taste none of that applies, and the reality is, who, in this world, is going to listen to every tune I've created, no one--if even one tune is heard from beginning to end it's a minor miracle, because sadly, there is a belief that unsigned means inferior, but I've heard enough tunes by the rest of you guys to know that's a myth, that's bullshit, we create some of the most inventive, authentic, imaginative tunes out there!
Give me unsigned, independent and underground music over signed, safe, predictable, recipe book, music any day of the week!
>
I MAKE TUNES NO ONE WILL EVER LISTEN TO!
>
Some musicians & music fans don’t want to hear music from the past because they would have to acknowledge IT’S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!
>
Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!
>
My music and lyrics are all about different, but if no one listens no one will EVER know! 
#StevenVellou

I CREATE TUNES ON THE FLY; NO FORMULA, NO PLAN, NO DIRECTION; THEY JUST HAPPEN--I'M IGNORANT OF THE RULES INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SO I'M NOT BOXED IN BY THEM, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE SO VARIED AND UNPREDICTABLE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaningful yet tongue-in-cheek tunes that can’t be #PIGEONHOLED!
Great production ISN'T my forte, accomplished musicianship ISN'T my forte but #UndergroundInvention, #InfiniteDimensions & LYRICS are!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now I don't personally believe I'm in the same league as #Bowie, other than my lyrics, more often than not, making more sense, but I do think I share his ability to adapt to different genres, and his endless, diverse, creativity, just not quite on the same level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm not proficient/accomplished on instruments, & I have other musical limitations, but most genres come natural to me, and I much prefer having that unforced ability to being highly accomplished on instruments, highly polished on production, or having the perfect voice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I didn't feel I had my own approach, if my music was easy to pigeonhole, I would have quit music a long time ago!
Never been about fame & fortune, just about pushing the boundaries without actually intending to push the boundaries; creativity that's second nature not formula! 
Yes, I want to reach an audience but making money from my music means nothing to me!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT saying I’m THE MOST #talented musician on music promotion sites but I will say I’m one of the most #UNDERRATED! Even so, I would much rather be underrated than overrated!
