Unusuall guitar solo. It seems to me that interesting techniques are used.

Really nice track - great mix on the guitars. Great job - love that harmonica!

I'm lucky to be involved in these cool projects with you, Mark!

Nicely ambient rock vibes with lovely country touch.

Seq96aaaaa A      Escalation The Situation Is Now Out Of Control

From 8000 Miles’ 2nd album Crystal Confetti comes another tune that gets a bit philosophical. How often does your first response to a situation cause you to feel that your opinion is being challenged? Yeah, it can be often. Everyone has their own take on things and that can cause uncomfortable feelings between people. So, consider in those times, when it might be appropriate to not claim that you are “right”. Let it go. Compromise. Choose peace. After all, being right is usually just an opinion. Yes? Think: I don’t have to be right.

As you may notice, the cover art harkens back to a familiar cover from 1973 and that is intentional, because Andrea and Rebecca are strongly influenced by music from that time period. Many fans of 8000 Miles’ first album, Aggregate, have remarked on that influence. The title Crystal Confetti represents the clarity 8000 Miles is honing in their duo’s style and the contrast of weighted moods and flying inspirations.

The entire album, Crystal Confetti, has been released on Bandcamp. Go to https://8000miles.bandcamp.com to check it out and follow 8000 Miles on Bandcamp to get first notices of new releases.

Ask me why - Robert Grigg & Combstead

when the Earth was wrapped in digits
and our cave got awfully small
we were rescued from the puppet show
and the open sky beckoned us all

as we zig-zagged towards the hilltops
some of us started turning around
they said the air's too crisp
these clouds—confusing
and the sunlight's getting too loud
too many shadows marching...

so much softer, our cave floor
and our walls are paper thick
we've got everything here we can pay for
dream awake and dream mighty big

outside the air is a mess
the clouds, they'll have us choosing
and the sunlight keeps correcting itself

our shadow-casters know best—
believing is soothing
we sing "red" then we take our blue pill

know what's good for you, little mouse
know what's good for you

and our spirit's rising
when the shadows march
we can reach horizons
when the shadows march
our seated souls are soaring
when the shadows march
just don't buy what's confusing or boring
the shadows are clear
as they march

watch as they march…

what good's an Earth that's drenched in digits
if we're boxed in sitting small
and even those who run the puppet shows
are content to project on a wall

outside the temperatures rise
the one true horizon is hurling us into the abyss
we don't get to claw back out
if we can't tell what lulls from what is

eat every shadow marching
it’s good for you, little mouse

stay tuned for your pipers
and their shadows’ march
there will be no survivors
while the shadows march
pick the facts that best suit you (aah-ah)
pick the shadows that suit you (aah-ah)
your shadows salute you (aah-ah)
and they'll march
and they'll march for you now

The Shadows' March

Coal Truck - Robert Grigg & Combstead

"360 Degrees Of Nowhere" follows on from "A Day In The Sky". This collection of work combines electroacoustic sounds and traditional instruments. In this piece the piano is used in combination with beats, drums and synth. It means the work represents fusion of electronic musicianship with traditional piano, drums and popular sound design. 

The piece uses minimalism and creates 360 degree loops and is influenced by the work of John Cage in the field of silence, with thematic influence from Ludovico Einaudi.  There is no "silence" in the Karoo because silence is only a concept or construct created by people. The Karoo is a place where one can reset the mind, body and spirit with raw intention and no judgement. Enjoy the music and remember, "there is always more coming!"
