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

I have a fairly good relationship with my ex-wife but on occasion we disagree about things, usually with regard to Jessica. Heres a good example of an email conversation we had this morning:

Claire:
Also do you remember that the half of Jessica's school trip abroad needs paying by October?

Lastly just to throw another punch in - I have bought a school coat for Jessica (winter one from Topshop) - that was £70.00 - so you owe me some dosh as well as the school............you'll soon be bankrupt!!

Me:
70 quid for a coat (:¬o Did Dick Turpin sell it to you? I hope its waterproof LOL

You know, there is a winter coat in the next catalogue, snowboarding type that Jessica said she really liked which was fully windproof and waterproof and washable and it was a bargain at £45 (photo attached). Maybe I should have mentioned it to you. Oh well.

Anyway, just let me know what I owe you, including the holiday then I can pretend to myself that the holiday is a little more expensive, and the coat was a little bit cheaper... Much easier to swallow I think ;¬)

Claire:
Mr Thornton,

If you really believe that your fashion conscious 12 year old daughter would wear that coat for school when all her friends are wearing Bench, Miss Sixty, Topshop and the likes then you are losing touch............it's an age thing obviously!!!

You are going to have to get used to these sort of prices!!!!

You owe approx £180.00 (£145 for the hols and £35 for the coat). However, I better double check the holiday amount incase I am actually fleecing you!!!!!

Just wait until I get the shoes and tell you they were from Kurt Geiger at £150.00!!!!!

Me:
I suppose it must be (an age thing).. But then when Jessica says she really likes something (and again I will point out the fact that she said she really liked the coat in Next) I tend to believe her.

Are you now saying I should disagree with her and tell her what she really means is that she doesn't like it..unless it is bench or miss sixty, in which case she probably does ;¬)

Don't have a problem with £150 shoes.. So long as they are walking boots, not shoes.

Who is Kurt Geiger? Does he make shoes that can detect radioactive particles or something ;¬)?

As yet, I haven't received a reply. But 70 quid... for a school coat!! Gah!
