Is That It?
Well, no, one day, I hope to break free from the bonds of having a day job and spend my time
floating round the med,
knocking up the occasional track for a cool label. Till then, this is my only outlet for
my compositions.
If you like Progressive tracks with nice breaks, you might like to listen you my latest, finished creation...well,
actually, its my only
*finished* creation, Celestial.
Download the MP3, Or stream
it.
The excellent vocals (in case you're wondering) were taken
from a track by Loreena
McKennitt called 'The Mystics Dream'.
One of the problems I have is actually finishing a track... No stamina y'see ;) I've got round this (sorta) by
stuffing all my unfinished
tracks into
Acid and creating one long mix. Whilst unfinished, they also represent the best stuff I've produced to
date...without sounding
self-congratulatory, its easily as
good as any of the other mixes...but just pure, homegrown Roguetrooper. Enjoy...(and play loud) Clicky Streamy Clicky downloady
The track I'm working on at the moment is a bit of a departure
for me. Normally I don't like long intros, but the beginning
to Gravity developed into this dark, broody soundscape. Its
a full 4 mins till any proper percussion kicks in which sounds
a long time, but its just right for the track (currently running
at 12 mins). Anyway, you can Stream the MP3 hopefully...
or download it(11Mb)
Heres what happens when you use Acid Pro as an mp3 sequencer..nearly an hour of beats n breaks.
Have a listen to Methodical or download it.
Want some more? heres another with Leftfield and
Hybrid (to mention a few). You
can download this too if you like.
Think I'm going to have to find a more permanent home for the mixes and stuff. judging by the amount of stuff I'm
churning out of the
Triton... Anyway, heres the Adam Freeland stuff mix from below on the blog...nice trancy, break filled mix that
hardens
somewhat towards the end when Joujouka arrive..However, its still only 135BPM and doesn't disrupt the flow too
much... Same as usual, you
can stream it or
download it...beware though, its
20Mb. Sounds best about
4am Sunday morning. Enjoy.
I was looking through my mp3 collection the other day and came across some depeche mode stuff I never realised I
had. Perfect excuse to
mix a few tracks up in acid and give the Basildon boys a breakbeat flavour. Its still a work in progress at the mo,
but I've since discovered
that DM and Breaks were made for each other. Have a listen and you'll hear what I mean. Download or Stream

Using your children as an excuse to have fun Part 1
Several weeks ago, it was Jessicas 10th birthday. At the time we were on holiday in Devon and had decided to do a bit of retail therapy down in Exeter. Wandering past the rows of shops, we happened across Exeter Model Centre. I tried to resist, but the lure of lovely model planes and RC buggys was to much so we went inside. At this point Jessica still hadn't decided what to have as a present. As I wandered round, my eyes fell on a small, ready to fly RC plane...almost instantly, an evil scheme formed in my head.
"Hey Jessica" I said "come and look at this" with her full attention, I proceeded to tell her tales of the wonders of flight and how much she would enjoy owning a flying a model aircraft. The plan worked and Jessica announced that she had decided that she would like an RC model plane for her birthday...Wendy shook her head and smiled... inside I was doing cartwheels like a 10 year old boy... I'm so ashamed.
Anyway, when we eventually got home, there was a defect on the radio control side of the model... Bloody typical. Here I was with a plane that didn't work from a shop nearly 300 miles away. I rang Exeter Model Centre who were very helpful and said they would be more than happy to replace it if I sent it back so off it went. Less than a week later, a huge, well wrapped box landed (hah) on the doorstep. I expected to see the same model that I had returned, but it appears that the nice peeps at the model shop take customer satisfaction very seriously. Not only had they returned a more expensive model (some £25 more expensive) but they had included a few goodies like extra batteries and a car charger... I was well impressed.
I was even more impressed when I took it out for a test flight the following day. I'm....umm.. Jessicas going to have so much fun with it ;)
Anyway. If you live near Exeter, and are thinking about getting into RC model aircraft or RC in general, I can highly recommend Exeter Model Center and the Ripmax Firebird XL Super, helpful staff and an amazing little plane.
A few weeks ago, I posted a link to a lovely little puzzle game... unfortunaltely, so did a lot of other people and the site was swamped. Anyhoo, luckily they've found a noew home so if you didn;t get chance to play it the fist time, wander over here and have a go, its really, really, very....nice.
Wahey! Manic over at Bloggerheads has finally succeeded (after 11 months) in getting No10 to make good on their promise to allow the public to email Tony Blair...He's pretty well made up... and rightly so
I used to really like FSOL. Papa New Guinea is one of the anthems from 'my' generations clubbing days. I bought the Album 'lifeforms' many moons ago, lost it and recently discovered it. To my dismay, I found that a lot of the stuff that I once thought was revolutionary and groundbreaking (ta very much acid) is in fact just a very lazy attempt at..well...I don't know. It aint music thats for sure. Anyway, thankfully, over the years, peeps have remixed their stuff etc to make it reasonably listenable. If you like their stuff, but refuse to shell out for a CD that contains 50% garbage, then head over to FSOL.Disenchanted.com. Its an ftp site with loadsa bootlegs and videos for you to download and enjoy.
...Ummm...Ok.... so it wasn't the end of the world...just a very, very big rain storm....Anyhoo...
My mate Special_K has pulled his finger out and started updating his blog on a regular basis.... whereas blogtrooper mainly contains useless pap, loving the alien..... as he has affectionately called it, is a reet good read.
Well...its 9am and the sky outside has just gone black...like...in the space of seconds (eclipse sty-lee)... Its the end of the world!!!!!.. Goodbye, dear reader...
My mate Dan just sent me this..Crappest town in Britain. Preston comes out quite well on the whole I think.. Especially considering we're a City now and not a povvy 'town' ;)
Today is a good day to blog... this game was described as amazing by milk and cookies... and they're not wrong! Go wast lots of time playing Plastic Balls
Hmmm... look at random snaps of random people doing random things with this Random Personal Picture Finder (tm).. actually quite a bit more interesting than is sounds.
