Thanks, TB

Thanks Torrey,
I learned an huge amount listening to & then collaborating with you.


Cheers

Phanque Mr. Cuny.
All of the original Pygmy Beat stuff was based on his art of the understatement.

Now we understand why you wanted his vocal for this one as it is a perfect match.
You’re on a roll! Congrats!

You're very kind. Yes, Terry's vocal brought it together.

Lyrics have been posted for you sir.
Yep, Terry did a grand job. He lives in a part of NSW called Lithgow - it high up, far out from the cities, very cold & windy when it isn't very hot and windy. Winter in his part of the world is COLD by Australian standards.
Thanks you.


Thanks for adding the lyrics and your answer. They are even better than I could understand.
Maybe it's that frigid environment Terry lives in that made him sing with clenched jaws...

Your music is so unique. Like that proverbial box of chocolates Forrest Gump referred too.... you never know what you're going to get when you listen to one of your songs. There is one thing for certain however, it is not going to be a run of the mill formulaic song. Of that, one can be certain.

This didn't disappoint in that aspect. Chord changes that no one would see coming or expect. I like the story line too.... kinda fits nicely with what we see going on.

Good job

Strong dark lyrics, "the age of entitlement/eclipsed the age of enlightenment ... it comes - to this", so true.
I enjoyed the unique chord progression, couldn't think of any other songs it could resemble, only distant thought of Terry Hall's work.
Good work with the arrangement, the baritone guitar adds David Lynch type of mystery and strings very delicious spice.
Just wondering what spaghetti refers to in the title, my initial thought was The Flying Spaghetti Monster smile

Ray,
This was awesome! Really neat collaboration. Vivid message & musically delicious. A+ spaghetti guitar and bass playing. I thought guitar was RT, but after reading notes I got that it's your single coil guitar with FX. Terry was a perfect choice. His vocals, mimics, gestures, all super. Too bad you don't have Stefan's closet... Would be fun to dress up Terry in conductor's tuxedo. No complaints on the mix. Took 3 listens to fully appreciate it smile Cool video. Really good one! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Thanks you...my trick is to open the box, suck the chocolate off each one and put the flavour centres back in place.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
