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)

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

I'm sure I linked to this linked to this game last year..I can't remember..I think data recovery is still underway in that part of my brain from the other weekend. Strangely enough though, it follows that theme (in a roundabout sort of way). Its called happy pill and is one of a few nice games over at pizmogames.

Every year (apparently) the city of Metropolis in Illinois holds a Superman festival. As with any comic book type event, there is always a good selection of 'super-fans' who dress for the occasion. For some, its a rare day out from the secure hospital.

Driving Mad is no Tiger Woods 2004, but has enough interest to pass half a lunchtime. Apparently, this is my 300th post on blogtrooper. I would have liked to have posted something more poignant, but after the weekend I've just had which can only be described as a "wildly altered perception of reality" my brain has decided to take the week off. However, my partners in crime, Mark and Jess made this little page which describes events reallt, really well. ;)

Lesson 5

"Babys are really tricksy secret ninjas who are skilled in the stealthy and ancient art of 'breakfast assasination' Please note that they should not be left for even a single minute as its more than enough time for them to wage a small nuclear war on some defenceless weetabix"
