| Saturn |    |
A raw improv with vocals and spacey sound effects overdubbed, recorded by Letters on Mountains, Salt Lake City, circa 2004. Drums and vocals by me, everything else by Mike Smith.
"He has a huge clock"...??? 
What ULI said about the vocal and construction.
It's like a spoken Jim M put to music, I like how it builds up to 3:.20, some very cool rhythm going on....aaa it fades out from the top there as well!
You still making music?
I think this 'raw impro' could be amazing if it were seriously worked out and produced.

Thanks for the comments. It's good to know if my vocals are . . . hard to understand. I'm still chuckling about "He has a huge clock". It's actually "He is a huge clock" - I was going for the mythic imagery of Saturn/Cronos as the god of time and the association with the melancholic temperament, and a period of life when idealism gives way to trudging discipline.
I wonder if "He is the grand clock" would work any better?
I would love to re-do this some day, but Mike and I are living in different states now. The original improv had some tasty bits after the fadeout that I'd like to restore, and the tempo could be tighter - although the drag was a major influence in the lyrics to begin with . . .

I assume you both don't have recording tools, shame not to re-do it.
Infact even if you raise the vox or put less effects on them they would cut through better.
I enjoyed the listen, nice stuff.
and yeah it certanly does sound like "He has a HUGE *OCK"
....lol...........

Very trippy, or should I say spacy.. Song keeps drifting yet that synth sound subtly builds up tension, and it sort of lingers at the height of focus, then the song is over! All in all a nice track, and very well recorded/mixed. It makes every part seem "precious".
