Welcome To The Anthropocene A cautionary tale straight out of the headlines (The Geology Times). Hope we pronounced it correctly. Anthropocene: "relating to or denoting the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment." Leon- Vocals and Lyrics Once again we are privileged to have Janice Merritt sing backing vocals I played the guitars Mark Douthit played the hot Real Track Sax and did some interesting growls at the end of his solos The Band: RealTracks in style: 2429:Bass, Electric, NewOrleansMardiGras Ev16 085 RealTracks in style: 2431:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansMardiGrasKevin Ev16 085 RealTracks in song: 1955:Sax, Alto, Soloist TexasBluesRockSlow12-8Mark Sw 060 RealDrums in style: NewOrleansMardiGras16ths^01-a: Snare Groove , b: 4 and Hat ******************* Welcome to the AnthropoceneWelcome to the Anthropocene Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been? Say goodbye to the good old Holocene Welcome to the Anthropocene The great acceleration All the indicators on the rise A time for songs and jubilation Though that greenhouse thing did come as a surprise I know we lost a frog or two And a couple of Gorillas But there are plenty more in zoos To tantalise and thrill us And how about the great pacific vortex? What a marvel that is to behold All those tiny little plastic bits, twice as big as Texas Other oceans got ‘em too, I’m told Welcome to the Anthropocene Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been? Say goodbye to the good old Holocene Welcome to the Anthropocene Particulates and what not, drifting through the air And nitrogen and phosphorus, aluminium and oil; Poke around enough I guess you’ll find ‘em all down there And just a little hint of radiation in the soil But take a look at good old spaceship earth She may be blowing smoke but there are light years on the clock Ignore the crazy talk about some crisis that is looming There’s plenty more for you and me to dig out of this rock Welcome to the Anthropocene Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been? Say goodbye to the good old Holocene Welcome to the Anthropocene Oh yea, welcome to the Anthropocene Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been? Say goodbye to the good old Holocene Welcome to the Anthropocene

I'm betting this is the only song ever written with "Anthropocene" in the title? Very creative writing.
Very cool song, love the groove. Sax is awesome! Love your guitar work too, right in the pocket, and trading licks with the sax works really well.
The addition of Janice really works, blends well with Leons vocal.
Nice one!

Really nice work here! There's some really intriguing lyrics here, and tune displays a strong understanding of song writing. Some good progressions hear, the the groove is great and helps push the whole thing along. Top notch vocal delivery too Great job, and thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Contrary to what Dave said, there actually is another song with Anthropocene in the title. Could this be the start of an exciting new musical trend? That said, this offering can certainly stand tall in that ever-expanding catalog. Nice arrangement, good lyrics, well sung. Plus, ah-loo-min-ee-um!

What a cool tune I thought I was going to have to Google the title so thanks for the description. First Leon’s vocal was just excellent. He has a great story telling voice kind of like Floyd.
Janice’s background vocal were So complimentary. There two voice blend so well together
That sax was a nice touch. Your playing off the Sax licks was so well done. Your solo was excellent as well. Loved the tone growly and gritty Perfect for the song Well done

Peter & Leon, Very good write ( a little Dylanesque sarcasm in there especially in Leon`s vocals). Lots of good lines - I really like these:
But take a look at good old spaceship earth She may be blowing smoke but there are light years on the clock Ignore the crazy talk about some crisis that is looming There’s plenty more for you and me to dig out of this rock
The sax/guitar combination at the end sounds great. Fun and educational at the same time!
Robert

Hello Peter, Leon & Janice,
What a cool song! That bass line grabbed me right off. Great licks, Peter! Leon and Janice nailed the vocals - no surprise there. I doubt there's a subject about which a song cannot be written!Very original!
The piano track was one of the best I've heard from Real Tracks. I struggle with them - they're either too thin, too muddy or too muted - even after a good massage.
Great listen - thanks!

Peter/Leon...
A great sound and a fun write. Nice use of the BAND! Good mix.
"I know we lost a frog or two And a couple of Gorillas But there are plenty more in zoos To tantalise and thrill us"
Awesome!
Leon's vocals are always spot on. Really nice guitar.
Love that chick singer, too.
Nice.

You had me from the very first beat. Excellent song about a very strange subject. Super use of RTs.
You all should be very happy about this.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
