--> This one has an interesting story behind it:
the whole first section is based off a 3 minute field recording of this coworker of mine talking to me, while i drifted off to a synth loop in my headphones, and tapped out the beat with various object around me. Of course, the whole thing has been fiercely warped and cut, but i did try to keep it somewhat true to form. It was over the summer and i was very idle at t he time- very few concerns, and i believe i made the majority of this feverishly over 12 straight hours.

then it sat for about 4 months, before i came across it again, and fell in love with it. I decided to have my friend gage, whom i'm helping produce an album currently, give a crack at vocals. i did the backing stuff, and the rest is history!

the beat is friggin nice.. i really like the one bit that sounds like some one is etching stone or something.

the beat is nice.

not into the vocals so much, but i'm not usually into vocals so much.

yay! thanks! here is some of gage's stuff link
he's one batty kid, and the song's on his site are super lo-fi, (which is why he asked me to help him on his album).
still really good though, the kid knows his way around a hook.

that hook is all that matters-you've got the rest covered, my friend.
