The first tune I ever posted at iComp, back around 2009 I think, was an instrumental called CAFFEINE.
It was your basic guitars, bass, and drums assault.
I recently remastered the completed file and planned to post it in the near future.
Then several days ago---to my great surprise---I found a DVD that had all the original file stems.
More than that, there were some smokin' SAX tracks that the legendary Andy 'Wiggy' Wigzell had contributed, but for some odd reason never got used! (My bad...)
I decided to completely remix the tune, and finally incorporate Andy's 'lost' saxophone tracks.
Hope some of you can enjoy this noisy little bugger!
PS:
That's Andy's vox at the beginning. Apparently coffee causes him to lose all sense of decorum!
I love it ! I f I ever ran out of coffee, (doubtful) I could listen to this one to get me charged up and going...ha ha ..As I sat sipping my morning java and listening, I suddenly found myself chugging it down. Whoa !
Every time I hear you, I think you've raised the bar on yourself, but this...this ..TOPS it all! I was having a panic attack yesterday and still the coffee worked well with me.. The mix on this was a smoking brew!! IMPRESSED!!!!
I had just received my new Epiphone semi-hollow body guitar in the mail. I took it out, tuned it up, and began to play. Within fifteen minutes all the guitar parts came together. Didn't take too long to record it after that. Perhaps a couple hours at most.
It was a couple weeks later that I sent it to Andy for some saxophone. In the meantime I had already posted the original on iComp and MacJams. I then got busy writing my next tune. By the time I received Andy's sax parts it was too late... until NOW!
My old friend Vic Holman used to say that "Every new piece of gear comes with a song built right into it." I've found that to be true on more than one occasion.
Wow Mike this song rocks. Metal with a sax. I love it. This can easily be in a new batman movie soundtrack. I'd love to see what you come up with after i give you a doppio espresso spiked with sambuca 😂
