This is a happy little mid-tempo instrumental chill-out tune

Fat Mama Fat Mama

This is one of my more uptempo tracks featuring lots of wah-wah guitar, electric pianos, and analog synth melodies. It borrows heavily from Herbie Hancock's version but sounds a bit like Beck in his Mellow Gold days.

This song starts with an well known sample but soon develops into a funky little tune with a groovy bass line, some slinky electric piano and a tasty Hammond organ riff and solo.

A soothing slow-tempo song with a Latin beat.

I Run Away I Run Away

This slightly uptempo song - at least for me - has a prominent acoustic guitar track, a bouncy bass line and spacey keyboards.
