Story behind the song
I love synthesizers almost as much as I love guitars - well, a lot of times I use a guitar to play my synths :). But I find that I often don't get to play with them as much, and my tunes wind up becoming guitar centric. This one's different, as I was playing with a newly acquired soft synth a few weeks ago, and - well, it was both it sounded so good, and it tracked so good, that I quickly laid down its main riff. And soon, other ideas, and synths, soon followed. In fact, the only organic guitar on the track is actually my bass. This feels to me like some of the stuff I heard Mike Oldfield do back in the 1970s - but it also has some elements another hero of mine, Craig Anderton, did on his 1980s CD "Forward Motion", in which he used a guitar synth setup to come up with new-agey washes of sound. There's also a bit of some of Allan Holdsworth's Synth-Axe stuff in there somewhere. I hope all you guitar heads won't be put off by the lack of my usual guitar histrionics, but I hope you do get a feel for what I tried to accomplish with this.
