Mason is renowned as a member of the Irish top-notch outfit Fruup; Pruess performed with Mike Oldfield and did arrangements for music of Sarah Brightman, Def Leppard and Massive attack, among many others. The band self-released 'Cain! A Modern Mystery Play' in 1976, and released the self-titled album in 1978 for the German label Hansa. The music of Visitor 2035 is heavily rooted in fusion, on the Weather Report/ Return to Forever side, with omnipresent symphonic elements and eerie spacey keyboard textures in Skywhale/ Flight vein. It's recommended to fans of music which is stepping out of the fusion realm, as well as to all fans of good music."

How do you satisfy PRS rules doing this?

It makes a lot more sense than letting the house jukebox fill the intervals. I like the idea.

It turned me on at age sixteen. I'm sorry I don't have the LP any more. It was purely because of the cover art that I made the purchase. It took me a while to realise that it was not an image of a spacecraft! I wore out my cassette copy too so the link above was a fortunate find. Even at that quality, it is better than my worn out copy. Toefunk is my favourite track out of the album but the whole thing is a trip. Have fun unscrambling the reverse speech bit.

I probably saw it before you. I do like a good volute you know.

I wasn't sure until I saw the fretboard in place but they really do look special.

Yeah, the books aren't always right. I have a publication from a respected house saying that the bassline for Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now was overdubbed when clearly it's just a nice little run of double stops during two breaks. I suppose it's aimed at novices.

AKA: The Sumner Clones.

Good point. I think a five gives you a little more scope for transposition. After all, keys are usually chosen to suit the vocalist(s) and sometimes the horn section.

Welcome Mark. "animal clubs"? That's a new one on me. Sounds, er, fun.

Doesn't any red blooded bloke? It's usually that or to be an anatomically correct centaur.

It is now.

Spellbinding mate.

Oh yes it is!

Welcome Jon. I'd rather be a bit nervous than be overconfident. Does it not go away when you've laid down a few bars?

You mean as if Corbyn was bent over in front of Clarkson? That's gross. Take it back immediately.

Are you saying that without trying though? I get a lot of joy out of finding tonal subtleties from using the heavier strings further up the neck. I second the Eflat thing like @NJE said though. Go to Motown on it.

If I haven't mentioned before... I do like a good volute.

Calm down and breath into this brown paper bag. I promise it's not one of the ones that Ringo farted in.

I'd have trouble getting a whole kitten in each ear to be honest. Isn't there a better substitute for earplugs? A couple of small rodents perhaps?

Welcome Dave.
