Well, here's something thats gonna stray from the norm a little bit. I have about 12 minutes of me and the band just playing on a whim, nothing pre-arranged at all. Just jammin'! It's nothing perfect and some parts kinda drag a bit but I really recommend letting it play the whole way through as there are some magical moments in there ( atleast I think so).

Since it is quite long, I made high(medium really) and low quality versions.

Kinda funny how it worked out: We were just starting practice and I was setting up my recorder (Fostex vf-160) to capture and listen back on a song we're working on. While I was finishing up on that, the rest of the guys started warming up and started into a nice little Dminor progression. Without the others even knowing it, I hit record and well, this is what came out!

Well there is certainly a lot to digest.

Given it's length it's difficult to comment on specific bits.

Very cool Jam session!

I know that's not a terribly inciteful response but my attention span is ordinary at best :)

Good mix too.

Cool, thanks for the input, Bleak!

It is a long one. I've been toying around the idea of editing it into a shorter, more cohesive piece. Might have trouble finding clear, seamless editing points. I'll have to try it, see how it goes.
