It is so interesting to me that we both play the same instrument (and I dare say, we play it well), and yet do it so differently. But I can *almost* feel what this would be like to play. And... there are many good players even more different from either of us than we are different from each other. This kicks!

High spirited performance - awesome energy and feel...

Love your style. Your a top notch player 👌🏽🔆

It's not that the world of social media is inherently harmful or bad, but just that it can potentially ruin an incautious traveller. People need to remember to step outside, get some space, and re-perspectify (made up word).
This song is a rare one that contains lyrics by Mark. In fact the killer first line and title and most of the first verse are his words. What's more, the words came to him in a dream! Some get to be so lucky! And lucky for me, he gave me the lines, I took them with glee and so came this song.
lyrics
Some more
Sickly sweet soda pop plastic
Another
Updated social media status
Left of centre
Right of right
Tired today
Pent up looming strife
Tired today
Break us and divide

I went walking in a field through sunset
There was not another person to be seen
Just the grasses swaying free
And the wind saying to me
This is here
this is now
This is real baby

Some more
Puffed up dolls
That the mirror says yes to
Another
Check for approval
The media status
Two for one
Makes three for all
Tired today
Count the numbers right
Tired today
Break us and divide

I went walking in a field through sunset
There was not another person to be seen
Just the grasses swaying free
And the wind saying to me
This is here
This is now
This is real baby
This is here
This is now
This is real baby
Hey
Yeah
Ooooh yeah

Soda Pop Plastic

Me and Stephen @texmex-shaman decided to keep exploring this heavier, industrial kind of direction on our latest one here. He created some amazingly weird noises with the guitar! Blows my mind...

S-I'm Stoned

Every time I see your face
Reminded of beautiful place
Don’t need to be reminded that
All is not enough

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Asking for a simple favor
Mind if I could sit with you more?
Gentle gesture, human nature
Gift to ease my heart

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Make everything easy
Easy on the eye

Now we know as years have passed
Love always been, always will be
Comparing to rarified air
Easiest choice ever made

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Make everything easy
Easy on the eye

This song began as a mostly fully fleshed out idea from Chris. He presented it to the rest of Eclectic Collective as a bass line with a rhythm guitar chugging the goove. Awesomely powerful groove, but pretty stripped down compared with the final version. 
  We did this in an odd order this time, for no particular reason. Probably because Chris' bass groove was so strong, Mark was able to first add his groove oriented organ throughout. Tez, again surprisingly, was able to add the fiery solos at the end and the intro, even before the drums were up. Although, we didn't have to wait long for that, because Ken filled them in perfectly, as he always does. Once the structure and rhythm section was complete, Josh decided to add the synth solo in the middle, at the crescendo, which he really enjoyed doing. Stephen came last to the party, but replaced Chris' rudimentary rhythm guitar with a fierocious, but more riff oriented, and less chordy line throughout.
  Once it was in the bag, Chris was the natural choice to mix it, since his productions are always top quality, and it was his song to begin with. During the production, he also decided to add the guitar, including the an e-bow like device that sounds a bit like a synth, and vocal tones to the middle and end. 
  This is an example of an Eclecitic Collective song started by Chris, whose music we adore and with whom are always excited to work. His music is all amazing, and you should go check out his page and see for yourself, if you haven't already. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it
