Spanish Hustle

Crazy Godz x Original Tropical Steel Band - Spanish Hustle

'Kintex' is a track taken from my debut LP released on Ninebar Records in 1998 entitled "Starchildren'. Inspired by a range of filmscores, ambient pieces and 1970's Jazz Funk, it captured some of my best performances on instruments other than drums. I'm particularly pleased with the keys parts, especially the rhodes solo towards the end of the tune. This tune also features Neil Corcoran on Bass (Mother Earth - Acid Jazz) who did an amazing job of giving this tune the best bass lines possible! Whilst solo'ing on keys, I remember vividly vibe'ing off those bass lines!)I still listen to this 19 years later! I may even re release this and a couple of others next year. What do you think? Would you buy it? Would you play it out? Let me know in the comments section as I'd be very interested to know in what format you'd be interested in purchasing and where some of you would pay this. For those that will straight off rip the tune from here, thanks for nothing, at least you enjoyed the music.....

Another journey into what I was doing in the 90's. This time an uptempo electronic piece with layers of breaks. Enjoy!

The Best Of Starchildren And Others

Escaped

A musical sequel to the track entitled 'Escaped' from my debut LP. The album was inspired by everything that is space and astronomy at that time and 'Escaped' was inspired by a journey into space. An escape, if you will. This track is entitled 'Returned' and signifies the return journey. There are similarities to Escaped in this track in terms of the beats and sounds used. This remains unreleased but I thought I'd share as the other tracks from Starchildren have been relatively well received. I made this 14 years ago in 2004. Enjoy.
