"Road To Tabriz"

preview of an upcoming all-instrumental album i'm considering releasing.
i've got 6 of these finished, about 4 more almost done.

this one is a rock instrumental, fast tempo with spacey breakdown, lots of strat tones, jamming bass line, harmony guitar parts, a bit progressive.

any mix suggestions as i get this thing dialed in?

Some archeologist suggested that Garden of Eden must have been located in Tabriz, the history of civilization in the city has been dated to the first millennium B.C

nobody's been to tabriz?

this one is a more progressive offering, and true to it's influences (brand x, happy the man, cosmosquad, stuff like that) it's more of a one-way journey...

it's supposed to be a trip.......'road to tabriz'.......

and when you go along a road, normally you don't double back...
you just keep going, seeing new sights, learning new things along the way.
thats the way this particular piece was written.


the trick is, to keep the 'riffs', melodies, sounds and grooves changing often enough to keep the trip short, and sweet.

non repetitive, just interesting.
that was the goal, anyways!

it's too stratty.

i never thought i'd say this but....

too much strat.
that must be it

I liked it, some interesting stuff going down.

You lost me when the wah pedal came in.. but I do hate them.

hehe, how can you hate a good wah?!

i guess it's like star anise, to some....
black licorice.
LOL

hey, that's a humble pie song, aint it?
oh no, that's black coffee

i think grand funk did black licorice. oh christ

Ah, Tabriz. Who can forget the exotic beauty of its railway station? I liked this tune. It's weird you don't mention Wishbone Ash as an influence because in places your stuff reminds me so strongly of their instrumental stuff.

nickS

hey, that's a lovely train station you got there!
LOL

wishbone ash...
i never really listened to them before, but i like that link/vid

i can see where you would mention that, know that i've seen it.
think i'll do some more research into that band...thanks.
