01-New York Skyline Blues
My brass section and a lone jazz guitarist repeat a long riff from which there is no escape. My fretless bass guitarist has all the fun developing his theme. My drummer brushes through without damage.

02-cRaZy PaViNg
*REMASTERED Punchy simple pop piano, bass, drums. Very few notes here, a trance-ey repeat, three little bridges, snappy drummy ending.

03-Probe
Aggressive driving format exploring all aspects of the title. The drumming holds a tight pattern yet varies tonally. Seriously long funk piano breaks. Gradually builds to climax, fades thereafter.

04-Barranco
A tone poem for our electric orchestra. a flute and plucked string are overtaken by a horn and strings. A transition to a heavy rich string chord progression, and a transition back, ending up with a pastoral pipe.

05-Raindance
An electric rock sextet guitar and bass back a feisty sax rendition of a waltz-time raindance, with a recklessly explosive drummer who holds himself back (almost!) for a shattering climax. Simple theme, but the chordal expansion goes on and on!

06-The Stars that Shine
It's a strange Celtic reel (another riff without escape) played by a slowly accumulating electric orchestra, which departs suddenly, leaving sad blue strings to fade away into the distance.

07-On the Beach
Heavy guitar echo backing, slow but inevitable chord progression, grungy keyboard solos, ending in lead/bass guitar duet dancing into the distance with sad piano chords.

09-Are You?
*REMASTERED - An electric jazz quintet plays a distinctive and idiosyncratic waltz-time melody, which climaxes early, restates itself powerfully, and then recedes gently into the distance. An unusual sixtime, ten bar loop.

10-Of Gold and Gilded Things
Taken from poem by Ana Mireles Tamayo. Simple rock band plays with the thoughts of a progressively disintegrating relationship, and an individual's urge to break free.

11-You're So Good To Me
Saxophone rock song, raunchy, argumentative organ solo, returning to plaintive sax departure.

12-My Untoward Waltz
Sad, witty piano duet play a waltz. Crisp, snappy drums, wide-stepping finger bass.
