Whats it all about then?

Basically, its another collection of pointless links mostly nicked from other blogs

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)

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

Well, Christmas is almost upon us... and if the old good behaviour = lotsa presents rule is in force for Alex this year... he'll be lucky to get a bag of rancid bacon rind.

Thats not to say he's been really naughty...its just a game to him, to see how hard he can hit the TV with his cars, to cry like his world is about to end whenever we leave the room... especially Wendy. He also thinks he's a human pebbledasher at dinner times, seemingly intent with spraying the entire contents of his mouth in as far a radius as possible... "Full of cheek and mischief" as his mum so often says.

He's not all evil though. In his more placid moments, he's demonstrated an amazing ability to climb anything and everything... especially things that you put in his way deliberately because you think he can't climb over them. On the language front, we seem to have sussed out the words 'Hiya' and 'Cat'... fleetingly, we think we've heard 'daddy' but when we rush up to him, all excited and ask him to repeat it, he suddenly becomes dumbstruck... full of cheek and mischief.

Its rarther belated, but heres a picture I took on his birthday... I've also got a bit of video that I'll try to upload at some point this week.

Right, back to the dilemma, should I get a Roland MC-909 or not... Eek!!
