I have no idea why I decided this was Goa, it just sounded like fun at the time. Once again I have sat on a track for more than two years for no earthly reason.
Yargh last bad electronic track for now yay!

It’s overlong, it’s repetitive, it’s loud, it’s bad trance! In the spirit of full disclosure, though, I’m really quite pleased with how the drums came out on this track.

This is what every jumpstyle song ever sounds like to me: a beat, a snitched irish tune, and some annoying shit on top.

This? Is far closer to what yesterday’s post was supposed to sound like. I swear to Maude they’re using identical synth patches.
Anyway, it’s like the worlds worst church hammond misconfiguration of all time.

No idea where this came from, or when, but clearly it’s a granular reorganization of some midcentury brass pop. Have at.

Next up on the Braindouche! Executive PowerPoint(tm) Loops Series, I present to you the absolute worst theme song any idiot sales guy can pick for their new product. I think the conversation goes like this…
Sales Guy: Man, our new product needs a theme song! I read about it in this book, you see.
Department Director: So what song did you have in mind?
Sales: Oh christ Bill, it doesn’t really matter, does it? We just gotta pick something and associate the song with the product, you know? So the customer hears that song and thinks of our thing. It’ll be great! Like psychological warfare!
Director: …
Sales: How about Bruce Springsteen?
Director: We can’t afford Bruce Springsteen.
Sales: The Beatles? Everyone loves them.
Director: You must be joking.
Sales: What, no? Ok, Garth Brooks?
Director: We couldn’t afford Billy Ray Cyrus.
Sales: Fuck! So what can we afford, then?
Director: To pick something from this DVD of royalty-free music and stuff we bought last year when we put together that promotional DVD.
And so he did.

(I swear to god, that’s the title it had when I found it.)
Next up in the Braindouche! Executive PowerPoint(tm) Loops Series, the Driving Newage Thing.
This is more of a tech backgrounder for one of those really overproduced, overhyped production-number-type gadget release announcements. You can feel it building the tension, right? Alternately, this would make a great corporate DVD menu music bed, or possibly background for the CG portion of the presentation, to make it “edgy” and “modern”.

Two things occur to me. First, it’s been a while since I’ve done a miniseries. I should change that.
Second, where the hell did I come up with this stuff?

Imagine you’re at a pharmaceuticals conference, and Bob the Marketing Guy really wants to get your attention so you’ll hear about his company’s new antidepressant. He might, if he’s a lame marketing guy, slap this sound on his presentation. Listening to it once or twice is kind of interesting. 20 minutes of it should be banned by the Geneva Convention.
To get the full effect, put this track on repeat, then go look up a college algebra class on iTunes University, and listen to them at the same time.

It Does What It Says On The Tin. It sounds to me sort of like Ambienteer at his most acrimonious. There’s bells, there’s little plooping things, there’s a sense of foreboding, it’s dark and ambient and that’s it.

Hey, tis the season, right?
I might try to rework this later and try to take out some of the drums in minute two, but I’m not sure how to do that and maintain that fantastic fireworks effect around 3:30. We shall see.
