An instrumental arrangement based on Jeff Beck's interpretation of the old Curtis Mayfield song. The middle section is a quotation from Bach's 'Jesu Joy of man's desiring'. All the guitars were played in real time. Everything else was sequenced.

Early morning mist upon the river Early morning mist upon the river
One of my few attempts at 'tone painting' I guess the title is self explanatory.
Cry me a river Cry me a river
A bitter and twisted love song if ever there was one. This is an instrumental version. I entered the words into the lyric section if you want to sing along.

Brainiac Fingers proudly presents a panoply of polyrhythmic perversities. From the album 'Tales from the Moebius Vortex'
The Girl With The Flaxen Flares The Girl With The Flaxen Flares
This one has a hint of the 60s about it. One thing I'd like to change about it is the drum part; it was hastily done, and there's far to many trebly cymbal crashes with no bass drum underneath to accent them. Apart from that, I like it.

Rainbows and Leprechauans Rainbows and Leprechauans
This is my orchestration and arrangement of four (I think there's four) traditional Irish melodies, none of which I can remember the names of except for the last one which I think is the 'Irish Washerwoman', but I might even be wrong about that.
