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

This post by Special_K on his blog from Wed 24th March 2004 (so you can find it in his archives) Is exactly the kind of thing that happened to me on a daily basis when I worked at the same place as him, which inevitably lead to me making the prophetic statement "This thing will never leave the ground" and quit for a much, much happier life doing what I'm doing now.... All that remains is for me to rescue Wen-D who, like K is cursed with working for 'them'
I was just reading about the demolition of the Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth (I used to live there....) (no, Portsmouth, not the Tricorn Centre) when I followed a link on the bbc news site to a discussion about eyesores.
As is par for the course thesedays, it was hijacked by peeps whinging and moaning about windfarms. I think their arguement was summed best by this comment from a Mr Iain Nicholson...
"I'd much rather see some safe, well-built, clean nuclear power stations in strategic places around the country than hundreds of square miles of wind farms, with their swirling blades killing birds, and the potential for shed blades which are a danger to birds, animals and humans. I can see we need to educate the public better as to the advantages of modern nuclear power..."
Well, theres no arguing with that is there. Watch out for deadly windfarms near you being demolished soon.
Anyone who uses USENET newsgroups or IRC channels will instantly recognise people they know in these Flame Warrior descriptions. For those that dont, heres a list of the types of people *you would* come across if you did. Mike Reids Flame Warriors
I've always wanted to learn about PHP, but could never be arsed until I was asked to join the admin bods on the OAP website. That was a couple of months ago now...and I've not broken anything yet, despite the lure of all the shiny icons on the site PHP console. I took this as an indicator that I may have inadvertantly learnt something and decided to put it to the test by installing a new Photo Gallery that uses that SQL doodad and stuff. I'm waiting paitently now for something bad to happen cos it was far too easy.
Although I might loathe the back-breaking X-Box, Halo is a pretty good game by all accounts, particularly the warthog flipping antics you can get up to. Whilst its not as graphically nice, this interpretation is good fun for 10 mins or so. Warthog Launch
