Aliens Don't Need Spaceships (Instrumental)

[StephenM]

they don't.... the frequencies do the tricks... and not all Aliens are bad...

this is better after having some whiskey or maybe a bit of weed or whatever... and this is what we used to call "head music"...

  How can I go back to being the same old cover dude?  I can't and its totally ok to be a weird player if I am being true to what is inside at the moments.. so this is legit..lol

this started with bass guitar.. I really like building off bass... and I think I am better at bass overall than any other instrument except maybe harmonica... but that one just came natural... I don't have to put that much effort into it and I can play tons of songs, more a melody player though... however i don't record that much with it as I like harmonica more for sing alongs and with groups more... and it fits more what I play too...

but I have played bass longer than others even though I started on guitar first

so this was clean guitar, I did use the Nighthawk and the ME-25 but two clean settings
The Shecter bass came first and then the left rhythm guitar track.  The the drums... the right guitar track... then I got into the Alien thing with the keyboards...

also I got a bit of time I didn't anticipate this afternoon to practice and record and I mixed this old school on the Zoom board and mastered in audacity with CLA mix downAliens Don't Need Spaceships.mp3

It was a dark and cold night. I was listening to Stephen doing the three-handed tango with the aliens.

Suddenly i was floating. My stomach hurt after eating too much chocolate. Perhaps it was the blanket that was floating...

Head music? Or music to watch spaceships go by. Enjoyable ride i must say.

[Bluesberry]

Absolutely perfect groove going down here.....you caught it......magic flying carpet kind of groove...or is that Zoltans blanket ....hard to tell from these lofty heights...great work dude

[Pete C]

Cool stuff Stephen, listening to it made me think of a recurring dream I've often had where I'm watching weird futuristic vehicles flying past and nobody sees them except me and I try to video them and there's nothing on the video.

Wicked bass! It's got a Phil Lesh style playing going on. I love the "floating" quality to the music as well. The mix sounds so full and lively! Another great one Stephen

[Johnbee]

Like hell they don't need spaceships! 

Very intriguing piece of music.  Sounds like a sci fi or monster movie theme. "Invasion of the Kangaroo People"

Talking of aliens, sometimes your music is from another dimension..and I mean in a good way.
This is a brilliant instrumental Stephen. Love the way it builds up, all the different layers of music.

Would make a good soundtrack to a sci-fi film.
Great playing and composing all round.

[Ron D Bowes]

Every now and then I like to build from bass - it gives me some new avenues. This is a very cool instrumental. Like the vibe very much. Harping (no pun intended) back to the great space rituals of the 70s

[Geir]

Groovy baby!! 

This one has got a cool intergalactic warmth about it.


This is what dreams are made of.

Aaaaaaaahhhhh. Lovely

[Blooby]

This has a very late night live jam feel to it, which I happen to dig mightily.  Really moody.
