Danger! Spontaneous Composition

Have just finished editing, mp3-ing and uploading a couple of rehearsal tracks to the MP3s page. They're live recordings made with a single microphone (a good microphone, natch) straight down to minidisc.

We like to try and record everything. Using a single mic limits what you can do with the track in terms of mixing and editing afterwards, but sometimes it's good just to capture the moment, as it were.

The two pieces represent a couple of spontaneous compositions. It's sobering to think that this is how the great Gods Can used to work. And, given that we're thirty years down the line, the equipment they used probably wasn't a whole lot better than what we have at our disposal. Sobering thought, that one.

Anyway, the tracks are on the website - www.narodnitrida.com - and line up as follows. Let us know what you think.

Untitled #1 (2005-04-09) (6:33, 4.6mb) Menacing, building post-rocker with some interesting sounds, evolves into a nicely controlled spaz-out.

Untitled #2 (2005-04-09) (8:42, 6.1mb)Dubby-edged groover emerges from angular moodscape.
