Hey Ric, Thanks for the detailed critique (really above and beyond the call of duty and very much appreciated). You are right about the jam-oriented nature of the song. As we play it more and more, I'm sure those parts that are sort of stagnant will evolve into something else. I sent this link to the rest of the band and I'm sure we'll examine some of your suggestions. 9NE, I liked the Daddy-O tune. I do agree that it is Beatle-esque, but that's not a bad thing. I'd like to see a band playing this in a bar somewhere. Very enjoyable.

Hello, all. This is a great thread. I've only had a chance to listen in to the first one so far (Learmont). I really like that kind of ambient music. I hear it as movie or t.v. soundtrack type of stuff. The composition was interesting, but I'm not sure I got a hook out of it that I would remember after one listen (not that that's what you have to be going for). Overall, I liked it quite a bit. I'll throw in my link and get that ball rolling and in the meantime, I'll try to listen and weigh in on the other stuff. Just follow the link below and click on 'Sample Tunes'. There are 3 originals to choose from. "Camp Song" is an early demo multitracked on Cubasis in my basement. "Chron-fusion" and "Trust Me" are more recent compostions recorded live at the Rose & Crown in Banff, Alberta.
