I think I have musical Attention Deficit Disorder. It amuses me to no end when Everett (the other guitarist) is trying to work on a specific song element, and I rudely break into an entirely different song. It's even funnier when the band follows me. I think that was the genesis of how this tune came about. We've fiddled with it in the past but never too seriously. I edited this one to where the egregious screw-ups have been pasted over (in Magix's Audio Cleaning Lab...good stuff). You can still hear us fishing around for notes. You can also hear my loop pedal in reverse mode during portions of the tune. I'm trying to integrate that into the live set-up much to the dismay of my bandmates.
Some off-the-cuff fun from MoO. Recorded live in the living room last Thursday (except for the edits).
Can't figure out how to stream from 4shared and don't have the patience tonight, so this is hosted at a Google site. If the player doesn't work, the download button should.

i always loved this song, was from one of the first albums i every bought with my own money. this is a bloody great version has a lovely fluid feel to it and blooby keep dismaying your bandmates those loops are a fab touch.
at times it reminds me of van der graaf generator and they way they jammed and bounced of one another.

That is one stellar performance !!!
You guys should really do some live gigs outside the livingroom !!!
Was it Everett on that gypsy-wah-solo ?

I agree with Geir...You guys could seriously be making some good money as a classic rock cover band. This is absolutely stunning. No sh&t.

Thanks, guys. The new drummer and bass player are into playing out as well, so we're trying to work up a repertoire now.

That was me going a tad overboard...just a tad, though. Everett didn't know this tune too well, so I mixed him out of portions of this.

I didn't find that overboard at all, I enjoyed that part very, very much, great style there, passion, fire in the belly...you have to let rip once in a while to give the controlled playing some contrast, thats what I call dynamics...you guys have that, the ebb and tide of the moment.
