A funk guitar rhythm and a beat stolen from The Meters. Notice that the main riff section is a third too short but heh! Also a 'walking bass' for Gary Powers albeit across a funk rhythm - try anthing once. But we could not put those guitar effects away in the cupboard and "let it lie". Look out for the Akademie des Tag (acoustic) version of the tune soon.

I like it . There are alot of different tones and textures working together that compliment one another. I hear the Cry baby too . Great sounding track with a live feel. I thought the fuzz tone had a cool 60's vibe to it............Peace

I just dont know, I hear it but am I hearing it the way you think I do?:-)or am I hearing it the way I think you do?
I liked the intro a lot, the change around 2:40 was a nice contrast. Has a jam feel overall. I really like the drum track too. The first guitar tone was a bit brash for me to accept but Im old fashioned. Good arrangement and timing.

The name should be School of Night but as names in English are often nabbed before one gets there, rendering them in a foreign language (here German) dodges the problem – for insights, see Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost and references to Elizabethan secret societies (Walter Raleigh, Christopher Marlowe etc).</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">More instrumental rock. The idea was to rediscover that ur-blues of some white 60’s and 70’s bands such as Led Zeppelin (first 2 albums), Allman Brothers Band, May Blitz (first album), Little Feat (first 4 albums) and ZZ Top in particular (first 3 albums) but then it all started drifting into The Meters, Funkadelic and more jazzy chord structures. Some of the material will be reproduced on Mixposure by another ftlpope band called Akademie des Tag (get it? Alternate to Schule der Nacht) who will do the same material on mainly acoustic or synthesized acoustic instruments.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Keep the faith and keep it secret – ftlpope.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Click on the name to visit these other ftlpope incarnations:</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/The_Sorrows_of_the_Languedoc/"><span style="color: #ffffff;">> The Sorrows of the Languedoc</span></a></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/Monas/"><span style="color: #ffffff;">> Monas</span></a></span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/Seekers_After_Smooth_Things/"><span style="color: #ffffff;">> Seekers After Smooth Things</span></a></span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/Milagre_dos_peixes/"><span style="color: #ffffff;">> Milagre dos Peixes</span></a></span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/Akademie_des_Tag/"><span style="color: #ffffff;">> Akadamie des Tag</span></a></span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">all on Mixposure.</span></span></p>
