Description

Another ya-ya-outgetting thing to play around with, dedicated to puppies....

Yeah, that's right -- I like puppies. Wanna make something of it?

Sorry...

Forget that. Start again.

OK, here's another in my ongoing series of tunes dedicated to animals --- well, this is the first one actually.

Thanks to tokai (Steve West) for useful suggestions on an earlier draft.

Critiques and complaints welcomed.

	Thank you, kind sir. I like synths. What can I say? But I understand the sentiment. I don't believe in purity. Check out my latest song called Examination Dream

Bad Ass
Those puppies look mean. Reg, this is a power play, such a web of sounds that all combine that blow me away. Very impressive production, with such clarity i can hear every note. Beautiful, tones from your JS and sublime playing. The volume peddle work is excellent and the way you combine all your varying sections is a real lesson for me. Serious work, but you still get to laugh at the end. Thanks reg, i have another one of your tunes to listen to at work and in the car.

	Hey, tokai. Yeah, you don't wanna mess with those pups. Again, thanks for the pre-post input. And thanks for the kind words here. Now, back to prog I'm thinking. The ever-elusive goal. Check out my latest song called Examination Dream

Hi, Karma.
Well, your comments are certainly overstatements. I hear all kinds of seams. But I decided to send this one on its way, ready or not. It's just a trifle, after all. But, I greatly appreciate that you stopped by for a listen. I always appreciate feedback from musicians of your caliber. Oh yeah, and don't be fooled by the apparent cuteness of those pups. They are badass, man.

	Frighteningly good and every bit as badass as those puppies. I loved the melody and the trills because it is so fast and varied. There's a whole story here and you are a great story teller. It is hard to imagine that you compose these things just like that. Badass! Thanks. Check out my latest song called Break Away (Mark Holbrook & Awigze)

Reggie_Pole	Reggie_Pole said 263 days ago (March 7th, 2009)
	Hi, Char. Haha. "Compose" is a glorified word for what I do, which is "make up stuff." But thanks. I'm glad you liked it. Check out my latest song called Examination Dream

	Wummimann, man. No doubt this partly IS your music. Your music inspires me to work --- and to work harder. Thanks. Check out my latest song called Examination Dream

Outstanding!
Lots of nice twists-n-turns in this and the mix sounds fantastic! I'm not really known for leaving detailed comments and usually keep things simple :)

I will say that the intro guitar riff reminded me of a track from Joe Walsh's "Confessor" album. Don't ask me why- maybe it's just the wonderful tone you have on that guitar :P Superb track/skillful playing and a definite download!

Check out my latest song called Broken (Ft. spitlogic & Kingbee)

	Hi, Mike. Thanks for coming by and listening. I'll have to find this Walsh tune. You got me curious. Keep cranking on those heavy buttkickers. Check out my latest song called Examination Dream

smoking guitars
This sounds like a lot of my fave seventies bands like Yes, Rush etc mixed into a big boiling pot of sound soup. Like the way you keep the momentum going, falling back then swelling up again. Very accomplished. The only weak bit for me was the opening - it doesn't sound like the rest of the track and could discourage people who like a bit of prog from listening further. Nice clear production too. Good one.

Check out my latest song called Hum

	Hi, Smoky. I understand what you're saying about the red herring beginning. I have had similar comments on other tunes. Well, that's just my way of having some fun. Still working on my divertomento openings. Anyway, I'm glad you liked most of it, and I very much appreciate the critique. Check out my latest song called Examination Dream

	this is truly amazing the first i have heard of your music, and i am floored. it is so progressive, like alex lifeson meets eric johnson. totally engrossing. i wish i could get my guitar to talk like that. and your changes. is this just you? are the drums live? your syncopation is flawless.... i have so many questions, sensei........... Check out my latest song called Tuesday One-Take

Reggie_Pole said 243 days ago (March 27th, 2009)

Talking guitar?
Yeah, well, my guitar was talking the other day, and said to me, "Hey, you should learn to play like this Allen Dean guy." Well, maybe, if I practice six hours a day for the next three years or so. But then, maybe not. You're up there in the stratosphere. Anyway, thanks for your flattering comments. Only the guitar is live. Drums are penciled Addictive Drums. I know you're a helluva drummer, too, so I especially appreciate your comments on the drum track.

me? a drummer?
heh. i use drums on demand for my drums...
my fave is the upbeat and aggressive series, but i have been using the solid rock loops for my last couple of songs.. and it sounds to me like that guitar of yours is doing some great talking. your structure is fantastic. this site needs more rockers, and i am very gald we found one another.
i still cant get over how cool your drums are... dont know a thing about penciling......
most of my stuff is one-take off the cuff and i try to keep it feeling live...amazing..
thanks for this post.

those pups
look like a pair NOT to be trifled with. and the song agrees. what an incredible wall of sound. deep and lush and full of energy. it wrapped itself around me and swept me along for the ride. incredible guitar work. i've always wondered how to make paper towels a part of my compositions. maybe you could offer some tips and tricks on those and the doggie treats.

Check out my latest song called Deep Majesty

Reggie_Pole said 223 days ago (April 16th, 2009)

Oh, my!
Kassia! No offense, but I'm surprised to see you here. I guess I tend to stereotype people. I would have assumed from your work (the part of it that I've heard, which I admire very much, by the way) that this would not be your cup o' tea. Well, thanks for dispelling my misconception. As for the paper towels and doggie treats ... mmm ... I might be able to drop a few nuggets of wisdom, but I charge exorbitant rates for that kind of premium advice. Have your people get in touch with my people.
