Description
These tracks are all "MIDI" productions recordered between 1987 and 1994, way before I dreamed I could afford a hard disk recording setup. With the exception of tracks 1 & 2, no overdubbing was used in the recording process. These tunes were programmed into a sequencer and recorded direct to DAT. On the first two tracks I had to record the guitar onto an 8-track tape deck and then sync the guitar tracks with the computer MIDI tracks using SMPTE code.
To be quite honest, I don't know what style I was trying to achieve during this period of creative ouput. You could probably classify some of these tracks as "prog rock", although there's not the extensive instrumental soloing that is usually associated with that genre. Several tracks were deliberate attempts to go outside the prog genre. "Dark Squad" is a homage to 70's cop shows. "Professor Putz" is a cartoon scene proposed by a Keyboard Magazine columnist. "Level 3" started out as a video game demo and then took on a life of it's own. And "Mech Zone" was designed as a futuristic sci-fi movie theme. The rest, hey, you tell me!
