Description

This is the first song of the virtual band PowerTrio™. Katchoolik wrote a simple little rock tune, Chakeres added the lead guitar and Perceptualvortex did the drums.
This is a fun project for us, and we hope that some people will enjoy our musical collaborations.
PowerTrio™ Merchandise will be available soon :)

Cheers
from the PowerTrio Management

RGB There, or CKissMY...
Just what I expected from you three, way cool kickin' music. My critique
is that the fade ending was a little too abrupt... I'd have preferred a an
almost final chord, and some fast finger diddling on the strat, and then a
final short ending chord, but if you're gonna fade away, take a note from
the Cheshire cat, and do it gradually, leaving only a smile on our faces at
the end! Awesome drums (duh), fun guitar tunes (duh), great bass and
wonderfully clean mixing (duh)... what did I expect? More, of course!
Can't wait for your next delectible dish of drumming, strumming, and
chumming!
ttfn,
Drakonis

	Cool Jam Guys Like Mikki, liked the shuffle; like drak, could stand to have a more definate ending. Wouldn't mind the lead guitar mixed a little hotter on the shuffle. Jam on, looking forward to more.

A nice combination of talents
This is a fun and driving, cool little ditty. Glad that I got a chace to hear
this before taking off on my little vacation - This groovy little piece of
work will be joining me.

Like the name of your trio, how did you guys come up 'Power Trio' as a
name?

Hang'n off the edge of my seat in anticipation for the next release -
Thanks guys - Peace

	Smooth tune dudes! very groovy, and a bit retro, reminds me of the revenge of the pink panther soundtrack. I have to agree on drak on the ending part tho. Congrats on your first little number Powah Trio Check out my latest song called Dark Throne of the Bunny King

Del	Del said 1461 days ago (November 23rd, 2005)
	Samplings Kind of a jumble of styles. You guys are good players, but it sounded like you cut and pasted parts of songs, like it was a sampling of different tunes. I like the sound of the guitars a lot. Check out my latest song called The Androgyne

Samplings
Del thanks for your comments. As for sampling, I would say the song has its
roots in fusion and not sampling. Sampling suggest we have taken other
peoples material and appropriated it for our own. The song is all original and
is a fusion of jazz and rock. And if you are a student of fusion jazz I think you
will realize that one of it reasons for being is that it challenges pre-existing
paradigms of what music it. Thanks again for your comments.-JAC, lead

One Rockin' Tune!
Hey thanks for listening Scorp! The drums are all Drums on Demand loops. So, in a sense, they are real: a studio drummer made the loops. Also they're digital (AIFF files). So I guess they're all three, really :) Almost all of my drum tracks are made from loops, though I am working on making respectable MIDI drum tracks.
