Electric Universe feat. Thomas Doggett
2008 mix of Bronx by Cleo’s Apartment. This is the hidden track on their recent release; Off At the Shoulders.
This track and several others were recorded at a townhouse I was living in at the time. Mike Huss would send me tracks and I would add parts and then he would reassemble them. My tenor solo is one take. He removed my delay track and replaced it with a different delay plug-in. He sampled a low note from my solo and used it for the ending: after the breakdown where the acoustic piano enters.
