about

Col. Kuntz
The (sic) is deliberate. This track is the by-product of watching Vietnam movies. Like most of my tracks this one evolved over time and it's taken a long time to end up like this. Quite happy with the synth elements of this and they feel Vietnam war-ish (in my head anyway).

Scream
Not really got too much to say about this one. Inspired by Kool Keith, The Prodigy and The Sopranos. Has a fairly recognisable kick sample that's been through a few blenders and the most basic of Acid lines. Probably the quickest track I've finished. Must have been on an Anti Procrastination day.

Pick 'Em Up
After about five seconds of listening to the repeating synth I "wrote" for this, I have the overwhelming feeling I'm ripping off a Temper Tantrum track. So I had to add loads of other bits in to disguise my plagiarism. As the track developed more and more distortion was added to every part. The track had a bit of a Vietnamese (see above) horror sound track as an intro, but it felt out of touch with the rest of the track. It was a cool sample so it might end up in my next production.

No Reason
Parts of this track have been kicking about for a year. The only thing that's really remained constant is the guitar. The track is called No Reason as I originally sampled David Patrick Kelly from the classic film The Warriors saying "No reason" but I couldn't ever get it to sound right. I wrote the Acid line for a different (slower) track, but thought it fit better here. Not sure if this is how you are supposed to produce music. But who cares?
