A rock guitar instrumental. A 'homage' to probably my all time favourite band . . .Be Bop Deluxe. I've really gone back to my Rock Roots with this one. What fun I had :)

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
I've been 'getting into' Be Bop Deluxe again in a big way. I wanted to plug in and move some air. All the guitar parts apart from the bass (Rickenbacker 4003) are my old and much loved, Yamaha SA1000 semi-acoustic. At the time that I bought it I just couldn't afford a Gibson. Well, it sounds pretty good anyway. All processing was via my Line 6 Pod (2.0) direct to Adobe Audition (1.5)
Lyrics
There are some amusing 'borrowed' voice samples that you'll probably recognise !

Nice stuff Dave you've cracked some of the sounds there & is a change to your usual stuff! (not that, that is bad). Bills allways got the rocker going in me too.

This kicks some serious butt!! :D Very nice LOUD rock, great guitar playing and love the bass line - sounds like a real drum kit too! I like the vocal interjections, they add a real strangeness which is great. Very clever ending. I feel another "station add" coming on....

So many fantastic tones here, David! An asteroid belt filled with sound and old TV transmissions - very cool. Gotta like that slightly sinister ending too.

Cool "Briggs" guitar tones, parts and playing. Very cool vocal samples that are well incorporated. Nice bass at 3:16 bridge. Fun cosmic ending. Very creative and fun David!

Great guitar tone & riffage, David, as always. The vocal samples add a nice touch of memorabilia entertainment to the song. This one really rocks. "The harsh reality" brilliant!
