There is more than a little Basil Poledouris and John Williams in there... plus maybe a little Grieg. The only brass I used were French Horns and Trombones, I thought it would be too easy to use the full brass section so I relegated myself to only French Horns but alas relented a bit and added trombones too.

The Black Sea

Bossa Nova Birthday Wish

Rock Mountain Nights

Soundscape with a short narrative and deep phased Fender Rhodes. The sort of "art" music I used to make before I started making commercial music the last decade. Back to the artistic music of my heart and soul. The story is analogous to the old "meeting the devil at the crossroads" adage except updated in a contemporary fashion. It's a mix of samples and me playing some Rhodes parts and some other subtle instrumentation.

Teenage Hygiene Dream Part I

Was going to drop some serious cash for an expensive white dot Germanium Fuzz some time in the future but found this little guy for dirt cheap and it is the most amazing silicon fuzz I have ever played... saved a BUNCH of money and added another Dan Armstrong Sound Modifier to my collection.

"Stone in Love" Dan Armstrong Blue Clipper w/ volume rolled back

Was possessed to re-create this song from scratch like Adam Scott & Jon Hamm did with the visual end of the spectrum a few years ago. I left out the shaker and added a piano slide... I suppose if you wanna put your own shaker in, you can add yer own. I don't have a shaker or a good shaker sample. There is a guide guitar part but it's like 17db lower than it should be so you should be able to bury it with your own rhythm track.

Simon And Simon Theme Guitar Backing Track

A small jam based off of some VH riffs through the Blue Clipper with the volume knob on 10. You control the Blue Clipper's level of distortion (actually fuzz) with your volume knob... so this is full on. Who knew that there were Death Metal levels of distortion around in the mid '70s?
